St. Petersburg’s Saturday Morning Market – the largest weekly fresh market in the southeast US – is worth a detour. In season (early October to late May, 9am-2pm), a core group of food vendors and a rotating set of artisans fill 130 spaces that attract 8-10,000 visitors.  If you want to get a handle on this energetic, revitalized city, this the the place to start. The market, with live music, dozens of ready-to eat vendors, organic farm stands, and craft vendors,  is really the heart of St. Pete.  Families, strollers and dogs crowd the aisles and the local musicians encourage dancing and hanging out. It’s a fun,  joyous experience.  From June through August, there’s a smaller market in Williams Park.  See a whole flock of images on my pinterest board.
