Get ready to celebrate! A year-long 100th birthday party for the magnificent downtown waterfront parks, the defining feature of beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida is, beginning! Events planned for the Centennial will have something for everyone—from youngsters to the young-at-heart, from history buff to photography buff, from movie fan to sports fan. The Celebration will reach out to everyone. Who that attends annual festivals, parades, holiday tree lightings, concerts, and fireworks—all happening in the downtown waterfront parks—doesn’t say or think, “Wow….what a beautiful city!” ? The Centennial Celebration honors the decisions of early civic and business leaders, acknowledges those who have fostered expansion of the waterfront parks, and looks at ways to preserve and enhance the parkland and open marine vistas for the next century. Let’s party!
