Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals Announce 2026 Dates for 31st Annual Season, Driving Economic Boost for Local St. Pete Beach Businesses The charming Corey Avenue district is set to be transformed once again as the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals return for their 31st annual season. A beloved, long-running tradition, these popular, free events transform the heart of St. Pete Beach into a lively, open-air marketplace and a key economic driver for local shops and restaurants. Hosted by the Corey Area Business Association (CABA), the multi-day festivals are a must-visit for art lovers, collectors, and anyone seeking unique, handcrafted treasures while supporting the historic district. "For over three decades, the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals have been a cornerstone of our community, bringing world-class artistry right to our doorstep," said a representative from CABA. "We invite everyone to stroll the avenue, meet the talented makers, and, most importantly, support the diverse array of small businesses, boutiques, and locally owned restaurants that make Corey Avenue unique." ________________________________________ Experience The Festival & Support Local The two-day weekend events feature a curated collection of contemporary crafts and fine art from skilled artisans across the nation. • Handcrafted Treasures: Attendees can browse a diverse array of unique, American-made items, including stunning jewelry and accessories, functional pottery and ceramics, original fine art (paintings and photography), and stylish clothing and home décor. • The Green Market: Complementing the artisan booths on Sunday, is an expansive Green Market, offering a selection of exotic plants, handmade soaps, gourmet spices, and other specialty food items. • Vibrant Atmosphere: Beyond the hundreds of art vendors, the festival encourages visitors to fully explore the surrounding shops.
