Best Memorial Day Weekend Activities
#1 Attend a Memorial Ceremony or Local Parade
One of the most meaningful ways to observe Memorial Day is by joining others in remembering our nation’s fallen heroes. St. Pete and the surrounding area often host ceremonies at local parks, veterans’ memorials, or city halls. These events typically include flag presentations, speeches by veterans or public officials, moments of silence, and even live performances by local musicians or marching bands.
Many residents attend ceremonies at locations like Williams Park or Veterans Memorial Park in nearby Tampa. It’s a powerful experience that grounds the day in gratitude and reflection. Whether you attend alone or with friends, it’s a chance to be part of a larger community honoring the legacy of service members who gave everything for our freedom.
#2 Host a Backyard BBQ or Picnic
Memorial Day weekend and backyard barbecues go hand in hand. At Provenza at St. Pete, you can take advantage of on-site amenities like grilling stations and outdoor seating areas for a laid-back afternoon with your favorite people. If you’re heading off-property, consider having a picnic at nearby Vinoy Park, which offers beautiful waterfront views and plenty of green space.
Make it festive by incorporating patriotic colors into your décor or menu—think red, white, and blue desserts, or themed table settings. Classic BBQ fare like burgers, hot dogs, grilled veggies, and refreshing drinks never go out of style. And don’t forget the music! A great playlist sets the tone for a fun, relaxed gathering that can easily last into the evening.
#3 Explore St. Pete’s Beaches and Outdoor Spaces
Few cities offer the natural beauty and year-round sunshine that St. Petersburg does, making Memorial Day weekend the perfect excuse to head outdoors. St. Pete Beach, Fort De Soto Park, and Treasure Island are all just a short drive from Provenza and ideal for sunbathing, paddleboarding, or simply splashing around in the Gulf.
For something a little more adventurous, explore the mangrove tunnels by kayak at Weedon Island Preserve, or take a scenic bike ride on the 47-mile Pinellas Trail. Even a leisurely walk along the St. Pete Pier can be a great way to enjoy the fresh air and coastal views. However you choose to spend your time outdoors, take a moment to appreciate the freedom and beauty we enjoy—thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
