St. Petersburg’s Historic Uptown neighborhood is gearing up for a festive holiday gathering at Historic Round Lake Park on Sunday, Dec. 6, 2026. The Historic Uptown Holiday Market will run from 2 to 5 p.m., inviting local artists and makers to showcase and sell their work in a cheerful community setting. Best of all, there is no vendor fee, making the market an accessible opportunity for creatives looking to share their handmade goods, connect with neighbors, and support one another during the holiday season.
The market is part of a wider celebration of St. Pete’s creative spirit, which city leaders have highlighted throughout the year with public art, cultural programming, and community-centered events. After browsing the market, attendees can stay for a festive screening of Home Alone, adding a family-friendly holiday touch to the afternoon.
Organizers say the event is designed to bring extra holiday magic to the heart of Historic Uptown while celebrating the neighborhood’s local talent. Artists and makers interested in participating can sign up by emailing historicuptown@gmail.com. For residents and visitors alike, the holiday market offers a chance to shop local, enjoy the park, and experience the city’s arts scene in a warm and welcoming setting.
