Clearwater Wants You: Cleveland Street Opens to Mobile Vendors

Published by

Artists, makers, and small retailers have a new opportunity to reach customers in the heart of downtown Clearwater. The Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has announced that Cleveland Street Mobile Vending is now accepting applications, offering a flexible way for local entrepreneurs to set up shop in the 400–500 blocks of Cleveland Street. The program is part of a broader effort to activate the downtown corridor, bringing new energy and commercial activity to the pedestrian-friendly area. What Vendors Need to Know Designed for maximum flexibility, the program allows vendors to operate Friday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Because there is no requirement to vend for the entire day, participants can easily plan their schedules around other commitments or target specific downtown events and busy weekend hours. Approved vendors are not limited to food. In fact, the program specifically targets artists, makers, and retailers—creating opportunities for handcrafted goods, art, and unique products that complement existing brick-and-mortar storefronts. Food trucks are notably excluded from this specific initiative. Help with Startup Costs Because insurance costs …

Dracula: On Stage at Francis Wilson Playhouse

Published by

It was opening night—October 23, 2026. A crystal-clear, cool, beautiful autumn evening with a near-full moon rising overhead. Cars pulled up to drop off guests at the door of the Francis Wilson Playhouse, located just north of Downtown Clearwater, for a special staging of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Celebrating its 97th season just in time for spooky season, the playhouse presented a striking rendition of Dracula, adapted by Drew DeCaro and Tracy Lange. Tonight’s cast: Actor Role Christopher Rogers Dracula William Letmon Prof. Van Helsing Logan Scourtes Dr. Seward Chloe Adair Lucy Ethan White Jonathan Harker Pamela Torres Renfield Martin J. McAuliffe Butterworth Jessica Ramsdell Miss Wells The Lobby Stepping into the lobby, I was instantly greeted by a cozy, living-room atmosphere—a fireplace lit with candlelight and a beautifully lit chandelier overhead. While the building is historic, it is meticulously maintained. You can immediately feel the deep love and dedication shared by the cast, crew, staff, and local supporters. Community. That is what stuck out. As I walked into the auditorium, the faint, comforting scent of …

A wide-angle photograph taken from the perspective of the Olde Bay Café, capturing a sweeping view of the large crowds at the Dunedin Seafood & Music Festival. The closed parking lot is bustling with guests walking about, and rows of dining tables and chairs are completely filled with people eating. White vendor tents are organized symmetrically along the outer perimeter of the lot, keeping the center wide open for foot traffic and seating. In the distance, the landscape opens up to Edgewater Park, featuring the large oak tree, palm trees, and the central gazebo stage.

Dunedin Seafood Festival: A Silver-Sky Saturday

Published by

The Dunedin Seafood Festival began this fall under silver clouds. Another cold front pushed through overnight, bringing a steady Saturday morning rain shower that hid the sunrise for hours. The rain finally cleared the coastline around 1 PM, slowly drying the puddles that had formed across town. As I drove toward downtown from the east side of the city, heading west to the Dunedin Marina, the daylight began to shift. The way the sun broke through the clouds cast a washed, silver glow over the city—as if the whole town were ready for a perfect gelatin silver print. It felt like a monochromatic photograph waiting to happen. Once the rain finally stopped, the crowds began to appear. Downtown Dunedin had been quiet during the morning downpour, but the moment the clouds broke, the locals made their way toward the marina. They carried lawn chairs and blankets, with children and dogs happily trailing along—all arriving safely after the wet weather had passed. For a brief moment, event coordinators must have wondered if the festival would get …

The Spirits of Halloween and Día de los Muertos Arrive in Dunedin

Published by

The spirit of Halloween has arrived in Dunedin. From Brenda’s on the Causeway—the diner nestled in North Dunedin near Honeymoon Island—to The Honu Tiki Bar and Restaurant tucked into a cozy corner of downtown Main Street, decorations are proudly on display, ushering in the holiday season. Because Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday night, the lineup of local costume parties is already stacking up. October is a prime month for locals. The snowbirds haven’t arrived yet, light cold fronts are beginning to push out the humidity, beach traffic is light, and the sunsets are painting the skies in beautiful fall colors. Spooky season is officially here. This year, several local restaurants are featuring special events ranging from costume contests to live performers. And while there are no downtown street closures scheduled this year, that isn’t stopping the celebrations from lasting through Day of the Dead. Día de los Muertos at Casa Tina Tina Avila, co-owner of Casa Tina Mexican Restaurant, announced that this year’s traditional Día de los Muertos festival will be celebrated exclusively inside …
