Retreat and Renew!

The St. Pete Yoga Festival is a vibrant annual event located this year on November 8, 2025, at the St. Pete Pier in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida at Spa Beach. Since its inception in 2011 by Vandana Dillon, the festival has featured diverse yoga classes, kirtan and live music, inspiring speakers, and opportunities to give back to local charities. This year the event runs from 9 AM to 9 PM, with a brief pause from 3 – 6 PM, and offers pricing that accommodates both adults and children.

St Pete Yoga Fest takes place every year in the month of November. This year it will take place November 8, 2025 from 9 am to 9 pm. 

St Pete Yoga Fest will be held for the first time at the St Pete Pier! 

There is parking available around the St. Pete Pier and downtown area. Some lots and garages are paid, so please plan ahead. Visit the St Pete Pier website for detailed information about parking and directions to the venue.
