If it’s fall, it’s indie market time. Shopapalooza is just around the corner Nov. 28-29 in Vinoy Park, and the Saturday Morning Market is back at Al Lang Stadium! The St. Petersburg Distillery has a night Makers + Shakers Market the second Thursday of every month from 5-9 p.m., showcasing fur baby treats, artisan foods, musical acts, libations and distillery tours.<\/p>\n

You can also hang out at Mezzo Market in St. Petersburg next to Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails (Oct. 25 during Halloween on Central, Nov. 21 and Dec. 19) and in Tampa at Willa’s (Nov. 7 and Dec. 5). The market features vintage goods, handmade wares, artwork, boutique clothing, plants, jewelry, and food and drinks. Tampa Bay Markets hosts multiple markets, including the Fresh Market at Wiregrass, the Fresh Market at Hyde Park Village, the Seminole Heights Sunday Market, the Carrollwood Market and the Dunedin Downtown Market; find them all at tampabaymarkets.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For flowers and flower arranging, St. Petersburg’s new Bouquet & Bordeaux Parisian-style wine bar and caf\u00e9 is the perfect post-market respite.<\/p>\n

From the St. Petersburg Museum of History to Perry’s Porch restaurant, the iconic St. Pete Pier is a favorite third place. In addition to its St. Pete Fall Festival, which concludes Oct. 11, and the Costumed Dog Parade Oct. 24, you can get your namaste on Nov. 7 at St. Pete Yoga Fest, which offers classes, music, sound healing, workshops and wellness education. Proceeds from the festival support Mindful Movement Florida, which brings mindfulness practices and yoga to schools and underserved communities, fostering growth, resilience and connection.<\/p>\n

Now through Oct. 25, bring the family to Putt the Pier: Fall Pumpkin Edition, a mini-golf experience at Family Park featuring pumpkin-themed obstacles, hay bales, colorful fall decorations and festive music. Be sure to visit the pumpkin patch! stpetepier.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Want more autumn activities? Don your lederhosen and head over to Tampa’s Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park Oct. 11 for the final day of Oktoberfest, featuring German cheer, jaegerschnitzel, bratwurst, dancing, Bavarian games and singing.<\/p>\n

\"Dean<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay’s comedy roster is no joke. TV and comedy star Dean Napolitano teaches stand-up comedy at Station 12 Studio in St. Petersburg and has opened for Don Rickles and Joan Rivers. Giggle queen Cat Lim’s Hollywood gossip alter ego takes no prisoners at Green Light: Cinema, Lounge, Kitchen. Catch a rising star (or a famous comic) in Tampa at Funny Bone Comedy Club, Side Splitters Comedy Club or The Commodore. In St. Petersburg and the beaches, laugh it up at Sunshine City Comedy Club, Spitfire Comedy House, Coastal Creative and Coconuts Comedy Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If it’s fall, it’s indie market time.
