There aren’t many St. Petersburg events bigger than Localtopia.

In its 12th year, the showcase featuring hundreds of indie businesses and community organizations —including the new Story Garden kid’s bookstore—once again takes over Williams Park for seven jam-packed hours.

Because of Localtopia’s scale—the event includes an art village, food truck row, adult drinks, bands and more—streets surrounding the park will be closed.

Those who can’t walk or take advantage of of the free bike valet on 2nd and 2nd, should consider taking the Sunrunner (fare-free for the occasion) or trolley that picks up outside the Trop at 1st Avenue S and 11th Street.

There’s no cover for Localtopia 2025 happening Saturday, Feb. 22 at Williams Park in St. Petersburg.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
