Trying my best to stay up to date with things to do in St Pete :) It is honestly not easy to go bored here once you realize the amount of events going on.

Figured I'd share more unique events that I come across. If you need links just let me know, but the post would not go through since most of the links came from facebook and this subreddit doesnt allow links that require signing in. I will add them later once I find links that arent from facebook

If you know of an upcoming event that youd like to share, comment it and I will add it to the list here.

If many find this post is helpful, I will post more or update it in the future.
Also, at the bottom of the post, I will make a list of places that often have events such as comedy or trivia nights as a way to not crowd the post.

List of Events you might find interesting/Unique upcoming in St Pete.
