Creative Loafing’s Crafts & Drafts 2016

Thank you to Tampa Bay video studio, Roundhouse Creative, for capturing all of 2016's fun!

Crafts & Drafts was back for it’s third year, bringing a day of good old fashioned fun for the entire family to the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club!

This year’s event featured more than 50 of Tampa Bay’s best local artisan craft vendors, a Beer Garden featuring a variety of craft beer favorites, food stations, DIY tie dye, face painting, Pet Zones featuring treats and water, complimentary activities and shuffleboard, and much, much more! This was a family- and pet-friendly event. A portion of the proceeds benefited Humane Society of Tampa Bay. 

Attendees who rode their bike to Crafts & Drafts were able to take advantage of our free bike valet by Two Wheel Valet brought to you by Coppertail Brewing Co. and Walk Bike Tampa!

We teamed up with Lyft to get attendees to and from Crafts & Drafts safely! First-time Lyft users got their first ride free up to $20 by downloading the app, creating an account, and entering the code CLTAMPA in the 'Payment' section at checkout.

The first 250 people in the door got a complimentary commemorative tote bag!
