Register NOW for Gulfport’s Get Rescued

Reminder… to register NOW for Gulfport’s Get Rescued on February 25, 2012…

Gulfport’s Get Rescued, the animal rescue festival and fundraiser, is preparing for its eighth annual event to take place on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 from 10AM to 6PM. 

This popular street festival, which Gulfport Merchant's Association (GMA) hosts, has evolved from one block and a handful of animal rescue groups in its first year to a popular and festive event representing as many as 60 animal rescue groups from throughout the region.

Gulfport's Get Rescued is one of the largest such events in the state, with all profits to benefit participating non-profit rescue groups.

Animal rescue organizations, many appearing with adoptable pets, take over Beach Blvd. to raise money and awareness for their causes. Additionally, animal-related vendors, artists and crafters offer their wares to festival-goers.

Pet Related activities will include a pet parade (Bring your rescues and showcase them in the parade!), pet care education, pet services, a pet food  and supplies drive, adoptable pets, free samples, training demos, food, music & games.

Each year, thousands of attendees, many accompanied by their own canine companions, make their way to Gulfport to support what has become a beloved tradition.

Art Walks

Gulfport’s First Friday Art Walk, January 6th

New Year, New Artists, New Crafters. Gulfport’s First Friday Art Walk takes place on January 6th from 6-10pm.

Observe and purchase from talented independent artists and crafters at work all along Beach & Shore Boulevards, as well as the works of local authors and entertainers stretched over a half-mile up and down scenic Beach Boulevard. Live musicians, including The New Horizons Band and others will be appearing at venues throughout the Village. The Industrial Art Center continues to offer "Blow Your Own Glass Masterpiece” mini classes by master glass blower Jackie Ballard and the IAC team. Visitors can view the stars through St. Pete Astronomy Club’s state of the art telescopes, weather permitting, every first Friday. While browsing the art and craft booths, don’t miss Gulfport’s unique shops, boutiques and galleries. Enjoy dinner at one of over a dozen fine restaurants within the Art District, now one of the foremost dining destinations in the Bay Area and one of six small-town finalists from across the country in the 2011 Rand McNally/USA Today “Best of the Road” competition in the “Best Food” category.

Gulfport Art Walk takes place on the First Friday and Third Saturday of every month, year-round.

Parking is always free and free trolley rides are available from off-site parking areas. Pet and family friendly! Experience a new dining, shopping and cultural experience unlike any other. Once you discover Gulfport’s Waterfront Art District, Tampa Bay’s “best kept secret”, you’ll want to come back for more.
