Shopapalooza gives Tampa Bay consumers a two-day reason to shop local

It kicks off in St. Petersburg next Saturday.

The 10th annual Shopapalooza Festival — which encourages consumers to support local vendors during the busy gotta-buy-shit season — is back in downtown St. Petersburg, and it’s moved from South Straub Park. Bring your reusable bags and bank accounts to Vinoy Park where a two-day celebration of small businesses and local makers goes down. Want to get your holiday shopping done early or need new handmade soap? Now’s your time.

Sat.-Sun., Nov. 30-Dec. 1. Free, bring cash for vendors. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Vinoy Park, 701 Bayshore Dr. NE, St. Petersburg. Shopapaloozafestival.com
