St. Petersburg Gears Up for Spectacular New Year’s Eve Celebration
St. Petersburg is set to welcome the New Year with an exciting annual celebration at the St. Pete Pier, located at 600 2nd Ave NE. This family-oriented event will kick off at 8 p.m. on December 31, offering free admission to all attendees.
Event Highlights
Guests can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with numerous activities. Live DJs will provide energetic music, while a selection of local food trucks will offer tasty options for every palate. For those looking for a special treat, champagne bars will be available, complementing the festive ambiance.
