St. Pete’s Sunday Market Is the City’s Favorite Third Sunday Ritual — Here’s What You’ll Find at Ferg’s
If you’ve been craving a weekend plan that blends sunshine, creativity, and that unmistakable St. Pete energy, the St. Pete Sunday Market is your go-to tradition. Happening every third Sunday, it’s become one of the city’s most beloved monthly gatherings — where locals and visitors alike come to discover handcrafted goods, enjoy live music, and reconnect with their community.
Now hosted at Ferg’s Sports Bar in the heart of the EDGE District, this long-running market continues to evolve while staying true to what makes it special: local talent, unbeatable vibes, and a Sunday experience that feels like home.
📅 When & Where
The next market takes place on Sunday, July 20, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, right at Ferg’s Sports Bar (1320 Central Ave). With free admission and free parking, it’s the easiest “yes” you’ll make all week.
🎨 What You’ll Experience
Every market brings together over 60 local vendors, each one offering something truly unique — from hand-thrown pottery and homegrown plants to vintage fashion, custom pet gear, tropical jewelry, and one-of-a-kind artwork. It’s a place where passion projects meet shoppers who actually care about where things come from and who made them.
Add in the soundtrack of live music, the breeze from shaded tents, and the buzz of community connection, and you’ve got an afternoon that feels less like shopping and more like an experience. You’ll come for the goods — and stay for the energy.
Why Ferg’s Makes It Even Better
If you know St. Pete, you know Ferg’s. Since 1992, this massive indoor-outdoor bar has been a fixture of downtown culture, known for its sports watch parties, live events, and huge open-air footprint right next to Tropicana Field.
But beyond the stadium vibes, Ferg’s is the perfect host for the Sunday Market. You can grab a cold drink (craft beer, anyone?), chill with your meal on the shaded patio, or take a break in the AC between vendor booths. Ferg’s food menu covers everything from burgers and wraps to wings, nachos, and weekend specials — and yes, their drinks are strong, cold, and perfect for summer shopping.
With over 90+ TVs, pet-friendly outdoor space, and a reputation for supporting local events, Ferg’s offers exactly the kind of laid-back, community-first environment that makes this market shine even brighter.
Built for the Whole Community
This market was made for everyone. It’s family-friendly, pet-friendly, and local-friendly — whether you’re bringing the kids, strolling with your dog, or showing your out-of-town guests why St. Pete is the best city in Florida. Vendors and shoppers alike say it’s the most welcoming and easygoing event they’ve attended, and the sense of connection is real.
Why It’s Become a Staple
For over two years, the St. Pete Sunday Market has been a hub for discovering new artists, reconnecting with neighbors, and filling your home with meaningful, locally made pieces. What started as a small idea has grown into a trusted part of the city’s culture — the kind of thing you circle on the calendar in advance and bring your favorite people to.
It’s not a trend. It’s not a one-time thing. It’s a rhythm — and if you haven’t been yet, this is your moment.
Here’s How to Do It Right
Show up early to beat the crowds and score first dibs on the best stuff — seasoned market-goers know the gems go fast. Bring your favorite tote bag, wear something breezy, and prepare to run into familiar faces (or make a few new ones). And don’t forget to treat yourself at Ferg’s while you're there — drinks and vendor hopping go hand-in-hand.
