The Artist Enclave of Historic Kenwood hosts the second installment of its holiday celebration this weekend, and the free-to-attend celebration is stacked with kid-friendly activities, live music, exhibits and performances from the enclave’s artists, food trucks and a holiday-themed maker’s market perfect for some last-minute Christmas shopping.

This St. Petersburg “quaint winter festival” will also be graced by Santa himself, so you don’t have to wait in that mall line to get those beloved Christmas photos.

Just a few of the local arts and crafts businesses at its holiday market include Pam’s Pottery Works, The lil Greenhouse Crochets, SunCoast Crafts and Fox & Crow Paper Co., while food and drink vendors include N/A beverage spot Herban Flow, Floribbean-fusion food truck, La Petite France, Untamed Coffee and La Strada Mobile Kitchen. Folks are welcome to bring blankets and lawn chairs to this park-hosted holiday event.

There’s no cover for St. Petersburg’s Winter in the Wood holiday party happening from noon-5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 17 at Seminole Park. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
