5 Ways You Can Celebrate 727 Day In St. Pete
July 27 might be a regular day to most people, but not for us here in the bay area. July 27th here is known as 727 Day. A day to celebrate Pinellas County and the fabulous area code that is 727. We should celebrate our beautiful city every day, but if you haven’t, I have 5 ways you can celebrate 727 Day.
What is 727 Day?
As it is written on StPete.org, 727 Day is all about celebrating all the amazing things Pinellas County has to offer. Itās a day to come together, have fun, and show the community why St. Pete is the jewel of the 727 area code. So I made a list of things you can only do in the Saint Petersburg area.
Enjoy A Rays Game At Tropicana Field
The Rays may be claimed by Tampa Bay, but the real fans know their home is in Saint Petersburg at Tropicana Field. Not only have the Rays been a staple in the 727 for the last 26 years, but Tropicana Field has been so as well. The field has actually been around 8 years longer than the team.
If you want to show your appreciation, the Rays will be taking on the Cincinnati Reds on the 27th and WiLD will be there celebrating as well. We are even having a huge game of “Simon Says” following the game for a pair of Rod Wave tickets. So please don’t drink too much at the game, it may land you some FREE TICKETS.
Visit The St. Pete Pier

You can make an entire day out of checking out what’s at the St. Pete Pier. Check out the tents at the marketplace, learn about marine life at the discovery center, lay under the “Bending Arc” net sculpture, or eat at one of the many restaurants. The waterfront views are the perfect way to admire the 727.
Have A Picnic At Vinoy Park

If you’re not trying to break the bank at the pier, you can always have a relaxing day at Vinoy Park. The two-mile stretch of waterfront views in downtown St. Pete has more than enough space for everyone to enjoy it together. Grab some of your own food and enjoy a picnic on the grass or on the beach. Just make sure if you’re going on another day than 727 days, to check their schedule. They tend to have festivals and events at the park sometimes.
Go Bar Hopping On Central Ave
This one is for my drinkers, but let’s be honest there isn’t much you can’t do on Central Ave. If you want to shop, they have stores for that. Want to see some art? They have it EVERYWHERE. However, drinking is why we are really here. It’s hard to suggest a specific bar for you, but believe me there are more than enough to choose from. My suggestion would be to go and throw some axes at the Hatchet Hangout. And yes, you can have some drinks there too.
Watch The Sunset At The Beach

Which beach? Funny you ask. Pinellas County is a peninsula with 35 miles of sandy beaches on 11 barrier islands. So there are a lot to choose from. St. Pete Beach, Pass-A-Grille Beach, Fort Desoto Park, Sunset Beach, Treasure Island, and Madeira Beach are just a few I can name. Each beach offers an unobstructed view of the sun dipping into the Gulf of Mexico, providing a perfect backdrop for a picturesque sunset.
If I forgot something, let me know what you would do on 727 Day.
