Local Vendors at the Monthly Market in Downtown St. Cloud

Under the starlit sky, historic brick streets are blocked off to create a vibrant atmosphere filled with local makers as you roam the small town for unique finds and seasonal goodies.

The people of St. Cloud transform Downtown St. Cloud, Florida, and the avenues of New York and Pennsylvania into a lively hub of activity seasonally for the Monthly Market. This event, hosted by a small committee of downtown business owners, has become a cherished tradition that brings the community together under the starlit sky. The streets are blocked off to create a vibrant atmosphere filled with local talent and enticing flavors, and it really has become a place that allows locals in the community to connect with one another. Brick-and-mortar stores have embraced this event as well and restaurants in the district also remain open to help curb those dinner cravings. Keep in mind that parking is limited, so be sure to arrive early to enjoy this festive experience fully.
