SEE UPCOMING PORCH PARTIESStarted in 2010, Movies in the Park has become a much loved local event, taking place each Thursday evening during the spring and fall. Each movie evening begins with live local music and the opportunity to purchase food and drink from some of St. Pete’s favorite vendors followed by the classic movie on the big outdoor screen. It all takes place on St. Petersburg’s beautiful downtown waterfront in North Straub Park.
Every other year, we present awards to homeowners, organizations, and businesses in our community who have made important contributions to historic preservation and to keeping St. Petersburg special.
