Celebrate 100 years of the Grand Central District, a designated National and Florida Main Street community. This guided experience connects past and present in one of St. Petersburg’s most dynamic corridors. Begin with a complimentary beverage while you explore the district’s evolution from a working-class commercial strip to a vibrant center of culture, community, and creativity.

From there, cross Central Avenue to the historic Mari Jean Hotel building to see how thoughtful rehabilitation allows modern life to thrive within spaces rich in historic character. This tour highlights the value of preservation, adaptive reuse, and the stories embedded in the places we use every day, offering a fresh perspective on how Grand Central continues to grow while honoring its roots.

Registration is required. Participants must be 21+ years of age. 

Want to get involved? As part of the district’s centennial celebration, the Grand Central District Association is hosting the 100 Year Gala Fundraiser on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
