If you’re looking to wear your love for the city, just remember you can always shop for tees, tanks, mugs, beach towels and more on the I Love the ‘Burg shop. Also consider becoming an I Love the Burg member for exclusive access to some of the best food and experiences in St. Pete. 

Shine a Light on St. Pete Small Businesses

We also wanted to give a major shoutout to our sponsors who do so much to make sure I Love the ‘Burg can continue to celebrate this beautiful city. 

Start by giving the gift of downtown St. Pete vacation. Nothing compares to a weekend poolside at The Hollander Hotel. Enjoy fine dining in the taproom, or a drink poolside at the H2O Bar.

Need to find a community? Join The Body Electric Yoga Company, or The BE Athletic Company

For the coffee lover, consider a Kahwa Coffee Gift Box or Gift Card

A gift card to any of the Red Mesa Restaurants is always a great stocking stuffer.

Do you want to shop small at more than 300 vendors? Don’t miss LocalShops1’s Shopapalooza at Vinoy Park November 26 and 27.

Keep the Studio@620’s Handmade Holizaar on your radar, too. This local market is set for Saturday, December 11.

If you need a holiday glow up, we highly recommend you pay a visit to Maison Glo on 4th Street North – the skin care savior of St. Pete. Yes, you can also give the gift of Glo. 

Add some magic to your holiday season by catching or gifting a fantastic show at Zubrick Magic Theatre, the perfect family friendly attraction in St. Pete.
