The best thing still running in the Bay Area right now: a free waterfront festival at the historic Sponge Docks with the Master Chefs of the Sea competition, the legendary Sunday stone-crab eating contest, live music, art & craft booths, and a Little Buccaneers kid zone. ~25 min north of St. Pete — go now and you still catch the evening sets.
Three days of Serbian culture wrap up tonight at St. Sava Church: grilled meats and roast lamb, homemade burek and pastries, live Serbian music and folklore dance. Proceeds fund the church's new flooring project. If you've been meaning to go, this is the last walk-up tonight.
The signature acoustic-country showcase: Carly Pearce, Greylan James, Vincent Mason, Jacob Hackworth and Zach John King share one stage, trading stories and swapping hits in a continuous loop — you literally cannot stream this lineup anywhere else. Doors early; the theater fills fast on Sunday. Arrive by 7:10 for a good Center City parking spot.
Nashville indie-rock duo at the Jannus Live outdoor yard — the ideal Sunday-night alt: string lights, 69° air, cold drink, no work tomorrow. With RYMAN. Tickets are cheap and there's no excuse. (Yes, same night as Guitar Pull — they're a 4-minute walk apart.)
Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, A Day to Remember and The Used performed by a full orchestra on the gorgeous 1920s Bilheimer Capitol stage — emo nostalgia with actual string sections. Featured guests The Spill Canvas bring their own hits. Doors 6:30; downtown Clearwater parking garages are free on Sundays.
Three of the Burg's hardest-working players (Sarasota/St. Pete session royalty) in a low-key afternoon-to-evening set at the Central Ave ale house. No ticket, no plan needed — the definition of a Sunday session.
The James Museum's free community day — live hoop dancing, basket-weaving demos, Hopi Katsina carving, storytelling, and complimentary gallery admission all day, including James Lavadour's "Like Rain." If you raced over, galleries stay open late-ish; the celebration itself closed at 5.
St. Pete Beach's weekly institution: 100+ vendors down Corey Ave — produce, baked goods, jewelry, art — plus food trucks doing breakfast-to-brunch. Every Sunday year-round, so no tragedy if you missed it; next one's Sunday at 10.
70+ local vendors, live music and lunch bites in the St. Pete High School lot — dog-friendly with free on-site parking. The north-city counterpart to Corey Ave; back every Sunday through August.
Yes, it's November — this 50th-year Clearwater holiday market is the season's official kickoff: handmade gifts, ornaments, baked goods under the oaks at St. Petersburg College Clearwater. Free admission and parking (service dogs only). Mark your calendar — it returns for future weekends.
The weekend's biggest plate: 100+ restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries with unlimited tastings and live chef demos on the Vinoy Park waterfront — Creative Loafing's best food festival in the Bay for 2025. Both days are done (VIP noon, GA 1–4 p.m.), so follow them for next November. If you went: the stone-crab consolation prize awaits at Tarpon Springs.
Music director Carlos Miguel Prieto led the Harp Concerto plus Falla's Three-Cornered Hat in this Sunday matinee at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Missed it? The FO's full season is on sale — their "Art After Dark" pops nights are the fun one.
A brand-new rock musical about the Kashariyot — Jewish women who ran resistance courier networks during the Holocaust — performed at the Florida Holocaust Museum, based on true stories. A one-day-only stop; a genuinely different Sunday afternoon.
