TAMPA – Since its grand reopening in July 2020, the St. Pete Pier has become one of Florida’s most iconic waterfront destinations — blending dining, recreation, and community events across 26 acres of downtown shoreline.
Now, five years later, the City of St. Petersburg is marking the milestone with “PierFest,” a full month of free, family-friendly events.
Saturday’s theme was all about health and wellness. Hundreds gathered on the Pier for “Fit Fest,” a free outdoor fitness event with live Zumba, yoga, running, and a high-energy cycling class led by Central Cycling.
Even if you missed the workout, there’s still plenty to enjoy.…
