Every year we try to make LOCALTOPIA even better than the previous year. For 2017, we are closing down 3rd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues North AND we are *also* closing down 2nd Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets North AND we are *also* using the old bus lane on 4th Street North as our “Food Truck Rally Alley.” This will allow us to continue to grow the festival at/around Williams Park + include more vendors, whilst also leaving more room for strolling inside our beautiful park, our city’s first park.

Since our first Localtopia in 2014, we’ve wanted to help change our community’s mindset about Williams Park and bring it back to what it used to be! Put 2.4.17 down as an UN-MISSABLE day in St. Pete!
