It's already pretty hard to find parking in downtown St. Pete these days, but the one day a year that Localtopia returns to Williams Park, it's nearly impossible.
Get your rideshare, bike or walking shoes ready, because 2023's Localtopia—a massive, yet hyper-local makers festival—heads to downtown St. Pete on Saturday, Feb. 18 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Localtopia is always free to attend, but you'll definitely want to make sure to have enough money to browse through its 300-plus local vendors, businesses and artists packed into Williams Park, located at 350 2nd Ave. N.
According to the festival's website, 2023's installation of Localtopia is set to be the biggest one yet.
Although the full vendor list hasn't been released yet, a few popular businesses we can expect to return to Localtopia include Made Coffee, Fox & Crow, The Hive, Recycled Earth Pottery and AfterBurnt. The festival prides itself on accepting strictly St. Pete-based makers, steering clear of franchises and multi-level marketing businesses.
In addition to its wide spread of local makers and artisans, Localtopia also offers an incredibly stacked lineup of Tampa Bay-based food trucks, including popular spots like Anju, Funnel Vision, Latin Lunch Box, Pop Goes the Waffle, The Twisted Indian and Maggie on the Move.
