SPONSOR INFORMATION

Every year, LocalShops1 kicks off the holiday shopping season by bringing together the area’s best businesses and nonprofits to celebrate local tastes, local sounds, local art, and local vibes. Shopapalooza, first started in 2010, lets you tap into the community’s energy and shows your commitment to small business. The event is family-friendly and co-sponsored by the City of St. Petersburg. 

Your support of Shopapalooza Festival will provide your company with powerful marketing benefits, exposure via traditional and social media platforms and the opportunity to develop relationships and interact with community leaders and like-minded organizations and individuals. Sponsorships including vendor space start at $1,200. Please contact us to discuss options!


​

VENDOR INFORMATION

Shopapalooza Festival is the BIGGEST Small Business Saturday (and Sunday!) celebration in Florida, perhaps even the entire nation! And it all takes place at Vinoy Park, along downtown St. Petersburg's beautiful waterfront!

SPACES FOR 2025 ARE FILLING FAST!
​
Vendor spaces are available for both days, to Tampa Bay area makers, small local businesses (under 15 full-time employees), and locally based nonprofits.  The vendor fee includes annual membership to LocalShops1 for those in the Tampa Bay region. If you are already a member, your membership will be extended by another year. A small number of spaces are available for small locally owned businesses elsewhere in Florida, but those do not include LocalShops1 membership. We offer a tiered pricing system, based on when you sign up. These are the rates for Tampa Bay area businesses.
  • Maker/small business: $330-$430 total for both days, 10 by 10 space
  • Food truck/restaurant, $450-$550 total for both days, up to 10 by 25 space
  • Locally based 501c3: $150-$200 total for both days, 10 by 10 space

For larger companies (15+ full-time employees), we offer options that starting at $1,200.
