Busy St Pete Downtown is home to major attractions like the Dali Museum, in a striking concrete-and-glass building, and the Museum of Fine Arts, plus the Mahaffey Theater for concerts and dance. Green spaces line the waterfront, with skyline views and festivals at Vinoy Park and a marina and picnic sites at Demens Landing Park. Steakhouses, seafood spots, and chic New American restaurants mix with happening bars and clubs.
One is a popular city attractions is St Pete Pier. The first centralized pier was actualized in 1889 when the Orange Belt Railway, brought by Peter Demens, constructed the Railroad Pier stretching from around 2,000 to 3,000 feet into the Tampa Bay after being convinced by John C. Williams.[10][11][12] Built on 1st Avenue South,[12] the Railroad Pier allowed for steamboats and cargo-freight ships to enter and dock in its 12-feet-deep waters.[10][11] It was deemed by Demens to be a tourist attraction, later instigating the construction of a bathing pavilion in the two years following its opening.[10][12] In the same year, Henry W. Hibbs leased part of the pier to open a fishing business which quickly grew the industry of fishing in the area. Pier Park's groundbreaking began on June 28, 2017.[77][78] On September 25, 2017, Pinellas County granted an expanded budget of $76 million towards the Pier's district.[79] In December 2017, the pier's concrete pilings were around "three quarters of the way done" with the deck "about half done".[80] In April 2018, three artists were announced to create public art for the pier's surrounding and immediate district, including Nick Ervinck, Nathan Mabry, and Xenobia Bailey.[81] In August 2018, it was approved by the cities council to install a Janet Echelman sculpture in the pier's district.[82][83] Vertical construction on the Pier's structure began in November 2018.[84]
Its original opening was scheduled for May 30, 2020,[8] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida.[citation needed] The pier and pier district opened on July 6.[85][86] The renovated St. Pete Pier features a variety of restaurants. The new addition to the city sits on 26 acres of land.
