  Arcades & Entrepreneurs Downtown Walking Tour
  

  Sunday, July 27, 2025 at 7 PM

  
  

  Join us for a very special "Arcades Tour" of Central Avenue. 

  This downtown walk will highlight the historic arcade buildings lining Central Avenue, including the Crislip Arcade and Green-Richman Arcade, both located on the 600 Block.

  Tour guide and PTB board member Maria Erickson will share stories of the passionate entrepreneurs that drove the success of these buildings, St. Petersburg's booms and busts and how they survived the wrecking ball. 

  St. Petersburg was once home to 11 arcade buildings, constructed primarily in the 1920s. While several remain and others have been enclosed or significantly altered, four of these buildings still dot the central business district. 

  PTB members are $10; Guests and non-members are $20/person. 

  Tour reservations are strongly recommended, space is limited.

  Tour will meet in front of The Floridian Social Club, 687 Central Ave.
