Ritual Grounds Cafe, the local business that hosted spooky Island market (pictured), will present a new holiday-themed event called blizzard bazaar | ritual grounds cafe

If you’ve ever wished St. Pete could magically turn into a snowy ski town for one night only, your oddly specific holiday dream is coming true.

This Friday, December 19th, Ritual Grounds Cafe is hosting the Blizzard Bazaar, a one-night winter takeover that promises to be equal parts holiday market, immersive experience, and straight-up spectacle.

From 5 to 9 p.m., the event space at 1960 5th Avenue South will transform into a nostalgic 1980s ski resort called Yeti Peak, complete with snow flurries, Christmas lights, and a few surprises lurking in the lodge.

In October, Ritual Grounds drew more than 5,000 people to its wildly popular Spooky Island Market.

Blizzard Bazaar is their festive follow-up, and they’re leaning hard into storytelling and themed fun. This isn’t just rows of tents. It’s an experience.

Expect more than 60 curated vendors selling handmade goods, art, apparel, jewelry, décor, and food, plus an espresso martini bar, festive cocktails, and warm seasonal drinks.

There’s a limited-edition Blizzard Bazaar ice cream from Wildflower Ice Cream, a holiday treat from Pete’s Bagels, and the viral-worthy Ritual Grounds Matcha Luge, which is exactly as fun as it sounds.

Families are very much welcome. Kids get in free, Santa will be on site for meet-and-greets, and there’s a free gift-wrapping station so you can knock out last-minute holiday shopping without going home to wrestle tape and scissors.

There are also multiple photo ops, including an eight-foot Yeti and professional holiday photos with Santa or the Yeti.

General admission is just $5, but there’s also a $29 VIP Passport for anyone who wants the full Blizzard Bazaar experience.

VIPs get priority entry, fast-track lines, exclusive merch by SickDopeFresh, framed Santa photos, complimentary drinks and treats, and a curated bundle of one-night-only goodies.

Blizzard Bazaar is presented by Ritual Grounds Cafe and sponsored by Minor Figures, Wildflower Ice Cream, Pete’s Bagels, and Dalia and Tony Morcos of The UPS Store.

Tickets are already on sale, and if Spooky Island is any indication, this one will sell out.

Bundle up, grab your crew, and get ready for St. Pete’s chillest holiday party.
