Family-Friendly Activities in St. Petersburg, Florida: March 21-23

This weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida is packed with fun and family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy. From hot air balloon festivals to interactive art projects, there is something for everyone in the family to participate in.

One of the highlights of the weekend is the Tampa Hot Air Balloon Festival at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. Families can experience the colorful spectacle of hot air balloons soaring through the skies and kites of all shapes and sizes flying high. With activities, food vendors, and plenty of photo ops, it’s an event the whole family will love.

For those looking for a more hands-on experience, the Creative Kids Club with Sunshine City with Kids at The Fairgrounds St. Pete offers an immersive neon cutouts mural project, coloring station, craft stations, and a pirate ship ball pit. Meet a mermaid and come dressed as a mermaid or pirate to join in the fun.

If art is more your style, the Westward Mural Project with Ya La’ford at The James Museum of Western Art allows participants to leave their mark on a community mural. Through collective creativity and community connections, meaningful visual conversations will evolve, with Ya La’ford adding her signature geometric pattern overlays to embellish each maker’s mark.

Other activities include Kids and Tweens Classes at The Clay Co-Op, Saturday Storytimes at The Story Garden, Disney on Ice presents Frozen & Encanto at Amalie Arena, and Day Out With Thomas at the Florida Railroad Museum.
