St. Pete Country Fest – Friday at Vinoy Park

St.Pete Country Fest Friday Pass

Ahhhhh - another year, another November, am I right folks?! The month that brings back memories and moments from the past galore - y’all ready to be transported back to our favorite indie haven world that makes us scream and jump for joy every time we go through the front door?! A moment to remember with all of us to add to those once in a lifetime slivers of reality - even though the summer’s over, it feels like the fun has just begun! That’s ‘cause St. Pete Country Fest is officially BACK at Vinoy Park for round two - and oh boy, did we miss you! Ready to prove that lightning can, in fact, strike twice - even down here in the sunshine state. Returning to the downtown waterfront for three days this late November - the 2026 lineup for Vinoy is already pretty vicious: AKA we’ve got everyone coming through and then some.  But for St.Petes - this once-new kid on the block - is already carving out its place as a can’t-miss staple on Florida’s fall calendar. And if you didn’t make it last year, trust us, this one is only getting bigger - and you don’t wanna be the last to know it. 

Set against the postcard-perfect backdrop that is Vinoy Park, with the bay breeze rolling in and the city buzzing from sunrise to our bar’s last call, St. Pete’s turned a normal November weekend into a takeover for the final rage before the year ends. A ful three days to dive deep into country classics and all the newcomers to the scene - we’ve already created an energy around our community here, and we’re oh so excited to see your smiling faces when all us fans come together for another spectacular 72 hours of country. Like - boots on the ground feeling like surround sound, boots on the ground stomping real loud country. We had tens of thousands of you crazy cats out here for our last iteration - and we expect that same energy this time too, okay?! 

What made year one so special wasn’t just the talent - but trust us, they rocked it real hard too. But even more than that - it was the vision of it all folks. Built to bring major country moments across the bridge and straight into St. Petersburg, the festival instantly proved there was a hunger for something bold, homegrown, and proudly planted right here on the waterfront. And in true Vinoy fashion, it delivered: seamless production, an unbeatable location, and a crowd that showed up ready to party from gates open to encore.And while the 2026 lineup is still under wraps, one thing is certain: if last year taught us anything, it’s that this team does not play around. Expect a healthy filling of curated mix of heavy hitters, rising stars, and discovery-worthy acts that’ll have you texting your group chat mid-set like, “HOW did we almost miss this?”. And of course - some returns from last year’s lineup too, duh!

Mark your calendars and don’t make ANY plans for when we check in on festival time. St.Pete’s year two is coming for you  - and we’re so excited to see ya’, too! See you bright and early, right here at the Vinoy for alllll the joy.
