That’s So Tampa<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe St. Pete Pier Pumpkin Patch runs from Oct. 8 through Oct. 25 with varying times. No admission fee is required. Visitors can pick and buy pumpkins while wandering through the patch, which stays open during other events like the Fall Festival and dog parade.<\/p>\n
Putt the Pier: Fall Pumpkin Edition operates the same dates as the pumpkin patch \u2014 Oct. 8 through Oct. 25. The mini-golf experience features pumpkin-themed obstacles, hay bales, fall decorations, music, and waterfront views that stretch across the bay. Reservations are suggested for this paid experience, though walk-up times exist if slots remain open.<\/p>\n
The St. Pete Fall Festival takes place Oct. 10 and Oct. 11 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days. Live music fills the air. Food vendors line the walkways. Bounce zones keep kids jumping, while the Kids Zone offers magicians, kids’ bands, and the first Kids Rave. Admission is free.<\/p>\n
The Costumed Dog Parade closes out the month on Oct. 24 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Spectators can attend at no cost. Owners can register their dogs for $20 plus taxes and fees to participate in the costume contest and receive a St. Pete Pier leash and numbered bib.<\/p>\n
Judges will score each costume and select finalists for a live audience-participation round. Prizes will be awarded for Best Human & Pet Duo, Most Original Pet Costume, and People’s Choice. Winners get announced at the event.<\/p>\n
These events draw thousands to the waterfront each year. Piertoberfest, the Fall Festival, and the Pumpkin Patch are free to attend, with goods and experiences available for purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St. Pete Pier will host several fall events throughout October.
