Enchant Christmas
St. Petersburg Florida 2024
St. Petersburg’s Tropicana Field will plan host to the annual Enchant Christmas market spectacular this holiday season.
Enchant Christmas St. Petersburg Florida 2024
St. Petersburg’s Tropicana Field will play host to the annual Enchant Christmas market spectacular this holiday season with a breathtaking Ice Skating Trail, a Christmas market & eatery and a magical Christmas Light Maze.
- Visiting St. Pete for Christmas? Stay at The Don CeSar. Recently refurbished, the hotel has some of the best views in St. Pete and has been a long-time ally of the gay community.
The Market
- Enchant market features the world’s biggest Christmas light maze, Santa’s Palace, an ice skating pond, food and live entertainment.
- The market boasts 40 local artisans offering an array of festive international food. The tunnels of lights are pretty trippy to walk through, and there are dressed-up “villagers” throughout who cheerfully pose for pictures and point out where to find the giant Rudolph light sculpture. Here are our top choices of what’s not to miss.
The Christmas Light Maze
- “The Mischievous Elf” takes guests through a sparkling wonderland in search of Santa’s missing gifts.
Christmas Market
- Taste seasonal delights and shop for holiday gifts from dozens of local vendors showcasing home decor, jewellery, gourmet foods, and more.
Magical Night Sky
- This year, a “Magical Night Sky” is a recreation of a North Pole night sky that will animate thousands of synchronized lights shimmering and dancing across the stadium.
Top Tips
- If you enjoy blue skies and sunshine, December is a great time visit, with 191 hours of sun.
- Book your tickets in advance as many of the nights sell out fast. You will find cheaper tickets and fewer crowds on weekdays. You can pre-reserve your skates online, where they will be ready for collection on your arrival, saving time queuing.
- Tropical Field is a 14-minute journey from St. Pete Beach, 25 mins from downtown Tampa.
- St.Pete is a diverse city, and you will find gay-friendly businesses dotted across the resort.
- Check out the top hotels closest to St Pete beach.
