We’re four months into 2025 and so far, most of the festivals on the local calendar have been linked to country music, a genre that dominated last summer’s concert scene.

One of those festivals is the first-ever St. Pete Country Fest, which is set to go down at Vinoy Park this November.

The inaugural iteration of this three-day, weekend-before-Thanksgiving shindig will feature a lineup of over 40 country artists performing on two stages across the waterfront park, which is no stranger to music festivals (see: Tampa Bay Blues Fest, Vans Warped Tour).

Among those names will be nationally renowned acts such as Parker McCollum and Sam Barber (the latter can has 1 billion Spotify streams, with more to come later this month with the release of a new single called “Man of the Year”), and up-and-comers such as new Capitol Records-signed singer Hannah McFarland, and 18-year-old singer-songwriter Waylon Wyatt, who graduates high school next month.

Plans for a third, exclusively acoustic stage have also been teased, so don’t be surprised if some closer-to-home acts show up that weekend.

Tickets to St. Pete Country Fest at Vinoy Park taking place from Friday Nov. 21 through Sunday, Nov. 23 are now on sale and start at $149 for a 3-day general admission. According to its website, single-day tickets are not currently being offered.
