This is a don't miss attraction in St Petersburg. Organic foods, craft cheeses, meats, pastas, and beautiful crafts are all available from local growers, producers and artisans. Outstanding, eclectic food vendors serve breakfast and lunch, and the center stage provides nonstop entertainment by local artists. Our favorite way to spend a Saturday morning!
This is the best market in the state! I have seen many and St Pete beats them all! Good food, music and all the crafts and new artists make it so much fun to stroll through and see everything. There are so many good deals to be had. It's so nice to just walk around and breathe in the fresh air from the Gulf and downtown St Pete is so cozy it makes you feel right at home. People bring their dogs and the kids love watching everything that's going on and for a little treat for themselves. Check this out, you will be so glad you did!
We were very pleased with the organic vegetables we purchased. A wide variety are available, and they are quite reasonably priced. We browsed the other booths, and tried coffee from two different ones, but are not really happy with coffee served from those thermal holding tanks. There are any number of booths to browse, but limited organics. Food selections are varied, which is nice to see. We liked that there was raw milk and cream available at one of the booths, although we did not purchase any as we were staying overnight in a local hotel, and had no way to keep it refrigerated.The place is busy, busy, busy and crowded with people and their dogs. Parking, as with any city large or small, is a challenge. We chose to park in the close by parking garage which charged a very fair $3 for all day. If you are visiting the area on a Saturday, definitely take the time to visit this market. It's not Santa Monica, but it's a nice local place for all that.
We camp annually for two weeks at Fort de Soto park and come here to load up on supplies. Fresh fish - the vendor fileted our red snapper right in front of us. Fresh bread, strawberries, grass-fed beef. Lots of international prepared foods: we had breakfast and lunch here. Cool location right downtown. After we shopped, we wandered over to a little park and watched a Santa Claus parade. Lots of friendly and well-behaved dogs.
Start your Satursya off with a trip to the Saturday Market! There are things for everyone from food. Plants, lotions, crafts and fresh vegetables! If you have a dog, bring it with you because everyone has their animal. Nice selection of goodies!
This is a must do activity. Everyone will find something to delight them. The food is an eclectic, international, homemade, delicious variety. Walk around first before deciding because every turn reveals something you really want most. There were homemade foods of every type, drinks, organic fruits/vegatables, toys, baskets, jewelry of all prices, and more items than I can remember. you will find everything there. Make sure to have a meal there - from several vendors.
Great ethnic foods for breakfast Or lunch. Great produce and unique items (food and non food) to purchase and take home. Live music. Tables and chairs to rest while eating. Bring your doggie. $5 parking close. Real restrooms in the stadium next to the market. This outing is a favorite of guests but we go even when we don't have guests.
We visit on a weekly basis. Always a delight. Organic produce is fresh and beautifully set up.I pick up pork chops, raw milk, kettle corn and fruity popsicles.We have had lunch there on several occasions. The Thai place and the Mexican tamales are to die for.It is a must visit on Saturday morning in St Pete.
