The St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce was originally founded more than a century ago, but for the last six years it’s celebrated the best of St. Pete with its Good ‘Burger Awards.
The organization just announced for its seventh annual ceremony happening on August 29 at the old Mirror Lake Lyceum (now called 737 Event Venue). Early bird tickets are available for $15 from now until August 9.
The 10 categories for the awards cover food, drink, the arts, venues and individuals, and some of CL’s favorite places (including the zero-waste Black Crow Coffee Co., Studio@620, PARC, Green Bench Brewing Co. and Ichicoro ANE) are among the nominees.
Community members (that’s you) can vote on the nominees from July 22- August 16 via stpete.com. See a full list of nominees below, and don’t forget CL’s long-running Best of the Bay 2019 awards happening September 25 at Mahaffey Theater.
