Finish of the work week in style every first Friday of the month in Downtown St. Petersburg!  The main event can be found on Central Avenue between 2nd and 3rd streets.  You can find music, drinks, and a great crowd of people ready to relax and have a good time.  It’s a great opportunity to check out the amazing restaurants, great local art scene, and hip clubs and bars amidst 3,000 of your Tampa Bay neighbors.  Each event runs fron 5:30 – 10 pm and features a different band, frequently jazz.  June’s event features music by The Venturas.

The monthly block party is organized by the Breakfast Optimist Club of St. Petersburg, which uses the event to raise funds for important projects.  For eight years in a row, First Friday has been the club’s most successful fundraiser.

If you’re in the mood for more, Jannus Landing offers further music, or you could just go straight to nearby Tropicana Field and check out the 1st place Rays.  For more information on the event, please visit their website.
