Waterfront Walking Tour

Saturday, April 5, 2025

Join PTB board member Maria Erickson for a stroll along the waterfront! 

Tour participants will learn about the waterfront's importance to the city's efforts to promote itself as the embodiment of the Florida dream and hear stories about the civic visionaries who transformed a working waterfront into one of the country's largest waterfront park systems.

The waterfront is where baseball’s spring training got its start, was the 1914 home to the world’s first airline, the St. Petersburg - Tampa Airboat Co., and the location for the 'Burg's historic Fountain of Youth - Try the fountain during the tour and you'll feel younger by tour's end! 

Tour meets at the Fountain of Youth, 4th Ave S & 1st St S, in front of the Mahaffey Theater.

Walking tours are $10 for PTB members or $20 for any non-members. Reserve your spot online. Advance registration is required.
