LOCALTOPIA is the largest "Community Celebration of All Things Local" in our area showcasing *over* 300 of St. Pete's favorite independent businesses and community organizations. The festival has become one of our city's most beloved and eagerly-anticipated annual events (2026 will be our 13th year). It is unlike any other event held in the city as it congregates "the best of/what is uniquely St. Pete" all in one place (shopping, eating & drinking, arts & culture, non-profits, local musicians). The event has been declared "The Event of the Year," many have called it *the* best event ever in St. Pete, and it has been referred to as the "most St. Pete-esque event a resident or visitor can attend." LOCALTOPIA won 2023's Creative Loafing's Best of the Bay for "Best Makers Festival" and just won "Best Free Community Event" in St. Pete Life's Reader's Choice Awards.
