St. Petersburg is set to welcome a major new celebration of creativity as the Booker Creek Arts Festival brings four days of art to the city’s EDGE District. Florida artists are invited to submit work for the juried festival, which will feature more than $50,000 in awards, including a $10,000 Best in Show prize. The event will showcase selected 2D and wall-mounted 3D pieces in local businesses and community spaces, turning the district into a walkable arts destination.
Beyond the competition, the festival is designed to give artists broad exposure while offering the public free access to a full slate of cultural programming. Visitors can expect live entertainment, interactive demonstrations, and family-friendly activities throughout the four-day celebration. The festival adds to a busy month for St. Pete’s arts scene, which continues to expand with new exhibitions, public art initiatives, and museum programming across the city.
For artists seeking visibility and for residents eager to experience the city’s creative energy, Booker Creek is poised to become a highlight of St. Pete’s arts calendar. The event reflects the city’s growing commitment to supporting local talent and strengthening community connections through art.
