One of St. Petersburg’s most popular local markets is going all out to close the year.
Mezzo Market will return this Saturday, December 20th, for its final (and largest!) market of the 2025 season, transforming Baum Avenue into a massive outdoor celebration of local art and small business.
The one-day event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. between Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails and Green Bench Brewing in the EDGE District of downtown St. Pete.
This edition of Mezzo Market marks a major expansion, with more than 275 small and independent businesses participating, a significant jump from last year’s lineup.
“Expanding to more than 275 vendors gives people the chance to shop directly with the small businesses that make St. Pete special,” organizer Jarrett Sabatini, who is also the owner of Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails and Bar Mezzo, said in an announcement.

“Choosing to buy here, instead of the mall, keeps that support in the community and offers gifts made by real people with real stories behind them,” Sabatini continued.
Known for its curated approach, Mezzo Market hand-selects every vendor.
Shoppers can expect a wide mix of vintage goods, handmade wares, original artwork, boutique clothing, plants, jewelry, and local food and drink vendors.
The result is a market that feels less like a pop-up and more like a neighborhood gathering, drawing locals who come as much for the atmosphere as the shopping.
In addition to the vendor market, this holiday edition will feature a full slate of festive activities throughout the day.
Highlights include a gift-wrapping station, wreath-making classes hosted by The Roaming Petal, and a portrait postcard experience with photos printed on site.

Santa Claus will also be on hand all day for hellos and photos, making the event especially appealing for families.
Several nearby businesses will join in on the festivities as well.
Green Bench Brewing will operate a European-style outdoor bar serving seasonal pours, while Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails will roll out holiday specials, including its Gingerbread Latte.
Bar Mezzo is hosting its iconic Miracle at Bar Mezzo pop-up nightly through Wednesday December 31st, which will double as the official after-party once the market wraps up.
Mezzo Market is free to attend, family-friendly, and pet-friendly.
Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or scooter, with additional parking available at Tropicana Field and the public garage on the corner of 13th Street and 1st Avenue North.
For those looking to shop local, soak up good energy, and celebrate the season with the community, Mezzo Market’s biggest event yet promises to deliver.
