Directions Shuttles and Parking

Ribfest is in Vinoy Park, 701 Bayshore Dr. NE, 33701 on the waterfront in Downtown St. Petersburg.

There are 2 entry gates into the park. One on 5th Avenue NE side of the park and one at 7th Avenue NE.

>From I-275 take exit 23A, it will become 4th Avenue NE which dead ends at Beach Drive NE. Please be aware street parking time zones are strictly enforced.  You may look for street parking or park in any of the 4 designated downtown parking garages listed below and ride the free Martz First Class Coaches or Looper Trolleys.
The Martz First Class Coaches and Looper Trolleys run approximately every five minutes from Friday at 5PM and on Saturday and Sunday at 11AM until approximately one hour after closing.

*There are 30 Handicap parking spaces by the baseball field. To access this area you will come in 9th Avenue NE.  We do our best to keep all of the sidewalks open for easy access, with the exception of the walk immediately in front of the stage, which is closed. These spaces fill up quickly. You may find it more convenient to park in one of the 4 parking garages and take the wheelchair equiped Trolleys. The Trolleys make the same stops and follow the same routes as the Martz First Class Coaches.
