Halloween on Central

This Sunday, St. Petersburg will have its largest open-air event, Halloween on Central, hosted by Car–Free St. Pete, in partnership with the Grand Central District, EDGE District, Open Streets St. Pete and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA). Attendees can stroll and roll along nearly two miles of the city, from Dr. MLK Jr. (9th) Street to 31st Street and experience the heart of the Sunshine City from a unique perspective that will allow them to rediscover their favorite local businesses and interact with the community in fun, healthy ways – without worrying about car traffic.

Following the top community desires communicated in the St. Pete 2050 Visioning Process, Car-Free St. Pete is collaborating with the City of St. Petersburg, Grand Central District, EDGE District and Open Streets St. Pete to shut down 22 blocks of Central Avenue, from MLK Jr. St to 31st Street, on October 31st, 2021. Halloween on Central will showcase our vision for what a car-free Central Avenue could look like for locals, businesses and visitors to enjoy. Come in costume to stroll & roll along nearly 2 miles of the city’s largest open spaces and experience the heart of St. Pete from a unique perspective that will allow them to rediscover their favorite local businesses and interact with the community in fun, healthy ways.

Who should attend? Everyone! This event is FREE and for people of all ages. There will be fun Halloween-themed activities fit for the whole family, such as trick-or-treating, costume contests, entertainment, local business vendors and more. Pets are welcome, too!
