Looking for things to do in St. Petersburg, Florida this November? FloridaRAMA Fest is bringing a full day of art, makers, music, food, family activities, miniature worlds and wonderfully weird Florida fun to The Factory St. Pete on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

FloridaRAMA is turning five, and we’re throwing a festival!

On Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 10 AM to 5 PM, FloridaRAMA Fest will celebrate five years of immersive art and Florida-inspired creativity with an art fair, curated makers market, live music, family-friendly activities, mobile vendors, a community diorama competition, a Trinket Trade activation and the debut of FloridaRAMA’s brand-new Mobile Mini Museum.

Whether you’re an art lover, a collector, a local maker, a family looking for something fun to do, or simply someone who appreciates the wonderfully weird side of Florida, FloridaRAMA Fest is designed to give you plenty to explore.

Tickets are $15 per person, with free admission for children ages 10 and under.

What Is FloridaRAMA Fest?

FloridaRAMA Fest is a new annual-style celebration of art, creativity, community and Florida culture created by FloridaRAMA in St. Petersburg.

The inaugural festival brings together local artists, makers, families, collectors, food vendors and curious visitors for a day of shopping, creating, exploring and celebrating the unique creative culture of Florida.

The festival expands beyond the walls of FloridaRAMA and throughout The Factory St. Pete, creating a campus-wide experience filled with things to see and do.

At the heart of the festival is FloridaRAMA’s philosophy:

Art for all. Joy for all. Play for all.

And if you know FloridaRAMA, you already know there will be plenty of weirdness, too.

Celebrate Five Years of FloridaRAMA

For five years, FloridaRAMA has been creating an immersive art experience unlike anything else in St. Petersburg.

Inspired by Florida’s roadside attractions, kitsch, history, natural beauty, colorful characters and larger-than-life stories, FloridaRAMA brings together artist-created installations that turn the Sunshine State into a world visitors can actually step inside.

More than 90 artists have contributed to the FloridaRAMA experience over the years, with most of those artists coming from the local community.

FloridaRAMA Fest is a celebration of everything that has been created so far, and a first look at what comes next.

Things to Do at FloridaRAMA Fest

There will be plenty to see, shop, make and explore throughout the festival.

FloridaRAMA Art Fair

Discover original work from 30+ local artists and makers at the FloridaRAMA Art Fair.

From artwork and handmade goods to unique gifts and creative treasures, the art fair is a chance to meet local artists and support the St. Petersburg creative community while getting a head start on holiday shopping.

St. Petersburg Makers Market

The curated makers market will bring together an eclectic collection of vintage Florida finds, records, plants, retro clothing, books, collectibles, curiosities and other treasures.

If you love hunting for something you can’t find anywhere else, this is the place to wander.

Florida Diorama Contest

Get ready to think small.

FloridaRAMA’s beloved tradition of miniature worlds will take center stage with a community diorama contest featuring Florida-inspired scenes created by artists and members of the public.

Expect tiny versions of big Florida ideas, strange stories, humor, nostalgia and plenty of imagination.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the dioramas and participate in a public-voted competition.

Diorama & Trinket Trade

The festival will also feature FloridaRAMA’s signature Diorama & Trinket Trade installation, including a curated Trinket Trade Box activation.

It’s part art exhibition, part treasure hunt and part celebration of the strange little objects and stories that make Florida so memorable.

Family-Friendly Art Activities

FloridaRAMA Fest is designed for visitors of all ages.

Families can participate in hands-on creative activities, make art, build miniature worlds and discover interactive experiences throughout the festival.

If you’re looking for family-friendly things to do in St. Pete, FloridaRAMA Fest is a chance to spend the day making and exploring together rather than simply looking at art.

Food, Coffee, Ice Cream & Mobile Vendors

All that exploring works up an appetite.

Local mobile vendors will be joining the festival, with options including food trucks, coffee, ice cream and more.

Grab something to eat, take a break and keep exploring the festival.

The Mobile Mini Museum Is Coming to Florida

One of the biggest moments of FloridaRAMA Fest will be the debut of something completely new: the FloridaRAMA Mobile Mini Museum.

Housed inside a renovated Airstream, the Mobile Mini Museum is a traveling museum filled with miniature worlds and big ideas.

Instead of asking everyone to come to FloridaRAMA, FloridaRAMA is getting ready to take the experience on the road.

The Mobile Mini Museum will travel to communities throughout Florida, creating opportunities for:

  • Artist exhibitions and collaborations
  • Educational programs
  • Community events
  • Pop-up art experiences
  • Interactive miniature-world installations

The goal is to bring FloridaRAMA’s creativity and imagination to people who may not otherwise have access to traditional museums and cultural experiences.

Festival attendees will be among the first people to step inside and see where the Mobile Mini Museum will go next.

FloridaRAMA Is Expanding Its Community Impact

FloridaRAMA Fest also marks the launch of FloridaRAMA Impact, a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on expanding access to art, culture and creative experiences.

Through FloridaRAMA Impact, FloridaRAMA plans to commission artists and bring the Mobile Mini Museum to schools and underserved communities across Florida.

The initiative will also work to reduce barriers to participation, including providing transportation and busing support where needed.

For FloridaRAMA, the expansion is about more than creating another attraction. It’s about creating more opportunities for artists and making creative experiences accessible to more communities.

FloridaRAMA Fest Is Part of Art Everywhere

FloridaRAMA Fest is happening as part of Art Everywhere, a monthlong celebration of Pinellas County’s creative community running from November 1 through December 6, 2026.

Presented by Creative Pinellas and supported by Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, Art Everywhere brings art, music, dance, interactive experiences and creative installations to communities throughout the St. Pete-Clearwater area.

FloridaRAMA Fest is supported by Art Everywhere funding from Creative Pinellas and Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, helping make the festival and Mobile Mini Museum possible.

Don’t Miss the FloridaRAMA Fest VIP Party

The celebration begins one night early.

On Friday, November 13, from 6–9 PM, FloridaRAMA will host a special VIP party inside the immersive experience.

VIP guests will get an early look at:

  • New FloridaRAMA installations
  • The Mobile Mini Museum
  • FloridaRAMA Fest diorama entries
  • The FloridaRAMA Artists’ Reunion

VIP tickets are $35 per person and include two drinks and early festival access.

It’s a chance to celebrate five years of FloridaRAMA with the artists, creators and community members who helped make it happen.

Why You Should Visit FloridaRAMA Fest

If you’re searching for St. Petersburg events in November, a unique Florida art experience, a family-friendly activity, or an art market featuring local makers, FloridaRAMA Fest brings all of those things together in one place.

But more than anything, it’s a celebration of what makes Florida interesting.

The weird stuff.

The colorful stuff.

The handmade stuff.

The tiny stuff.

The unexpected stuff.

The stories that don’t fit neatly inside a traditional museum.

For five years, FloridaRAMA has been celebrating those stories inside its immersive experience. Now, FloridaRAMA Fest is bringing that spirit outside, and the Mobile Mini Museum is getting ready to take it across Florida.
