St. Petersburg’s Grand Central District will host its third annual Christmas Market on Friday, Dec. 4, 2026, from 5 to 10 p.m.
The free event will stretch across eight blocks, from 22nd to 27th streets, with Central Avenue sidewalks and nearby side streets set to host more than 100 local vendors alongside food and drinks from neighborhood businesses.
Organizers say the evening will include holiday carolers, Santa Claus, Dog Bar’s foam snow experience, and appearances by Anna and Elsa. New for 2026, the market will also feature the Krampuses. An illuminated surprise is planned at the VFW.
More than 5,000 people attended last year’s market, according to the Grand Central District Association. The event location is listed as the Grand Central District at 2311 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg.
