The Holidays may be sunny with a high of 75 in St. Pete, but there’s no shortage of festivities to get you in the Christmas spirit. We’ve made a list of the perfect activities to make your holiday just a little more merry.
1. For the Christmas light fanatic…
Every Night: Take a Walk in Straub Park
Lighten up! Take a walk through the waterfront and along Beach Drive’s lit strip to enjoy the city’s multicultural light display. From the giant, color-changing Christmas tree, to the pair of dreidels, to the happy dancing squirrel, there’s something for everyone (including some much-needed fresh air). Every night along Beach Drive.
2. For those bending over backwards to prepare for Christmas Dinner…
Dec 20th: Cirque Dreams Holidaze
See performers bend in miraculous ways in this holiday-themed cirque performance. Imaginative, heart-pounding and gravity-defying feats you have to see to believe. Performers twirl, bounce and soar thru the air to original music and seasonal favorites, brought to life within a brilliant stage setting of gigantic gifts, colossal candy canes and 30-foot towering trees. This critically acclaimed holiday stage extravaganza is as cirque spectacle, Broadway musical, and family show all in one! Find tickets here.
3. For the procrastinating gift giver…
Dec 23rd: Saturday Morning Market with First Night
4. For the religious…
Dec 24th: Bridgepoint Christmas Eve at the Mahaffey
A Christmas Eve church service is a tradition for many families – if you and yours are visiting Beach Drive, note that all are welcome at Bridgepoint’s Christmas Eve services. They’ll have multiple identical services at 12p, 2p, 4p, and 6p. Please reserve your free spot here.
5. And the religiously devoted Star Wars fan…
