The one-story small houses with long porches, or bungalows, offer a more accessible and manageable style of living. “Living large in small spaces,” is the event’s motto. During the event, guests can stroll through the 375 acres of bricked streets and tour inside a selection of houses throughout the neighborhood.
Funds from the event go back into Kenwood and its projects. Close to Downtown St. Petersburg, Kenwood was the first suburban neighborhood in the area to have year-round residents, according to the district’s website.
Boston Globe wrote that approximately 170 bungalows were moved from downtown St. Petersburg to Kenwood in the mid-1930s, adding that, “Today there are more than a thousand properties in the district.”
To check-in, event-goers will check in at St. Petersburg High School, located at 2501 5th Ave. N. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
