Find links to sign up for these events — and many, many other things to do — online at thegabber.com/events. Thursday, Oct. 29 Shake your groove thing, Gulfport Head to the hula hoop class on the water and burn up to 450 calories per hour. Fun Fact: Apparently the ancient Greeks and Egyptians hula hooped. Replace your HIIT workout with hula hoops, honor the ancients, and get outside. Sounds like a win all the way ’round. Veterans Park, 5417 Essex Ave. S., Gulfport. 6 p.m. Donations. SD Saturday, Oct. 31 Trunk or Treat, St. Pete Beach Head to Corey Avenue on St. Pete Beach and pop from shop to shop and car trunk to car trunk, collecting candy and goodies. The city’s blocking off the street and staggering times for the kids, so no worries about safety. Please get a ticket (it’s free) in advance. 300-400 blocks of Corey Ave., St. Pete Beach. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Free. 727-363-9245, spbrec. com. MR SD Trick or Treat, Gulfport Bring your kids and pets downtown on Halloween to trick, treat, and shop. Tutto Bene, O’Maddy’s, Gulfport Brewery + Eatery, Gulfport Beach Bazaar, Bo Tiki, Beauty Cafe Gulfport, and Let It Be Ice Cream will have treats for the kiddos and doggos. Show up to eat pizza or pasta in costume (no, a face mask is not a costume!) at Tutto Bene and get 10% off your bill. Other shops will also have specials. As with every event we mention, please wear your masks and respect social distancing. Now, go get some candy! Downtown Gulfport on Beach Blvd., 4-8 p.m. Roll to the Polls Get in the spirit of the season and bring your decorated bike, motorcycle, scooter, skateboard, or other wheels and join the voting motorcade. The first 1,000 can get free masks, t-shirts, water bottles and other goodies who come to show democracy in action. Meet at Lot 4 for staging, then take to the streets to encourage everyone in your neighborhood to vote. Help your neighbors honor John Lewis’ life and legacy; be a part of Roll to the Polls and encourage people to return their ballots early. The Trop is
the only secure drive-through ballot location in Pinellas, so bring your completed ballots, too! Tropicana Field, 1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg. 1:30 p.m. womentalkblack.org/roll. Once in a Blue Moon It’s a blue moon. On Halloween. This doesn’t happen often, so make the most of the night. Celebrate with the Blue Moon Halloween Blitz at the American Legion. They’ll have prizes for best costume, a money hat, Halloween-themed gift baskets and live music from Saddletramp. Oh, and they’re observing social distancing – so get one of the limited tickets now! American Legion Auxiliary #125, 6440 5th Ave. S., St. Petersburg. 6-10 p.m. 727-347-6085. Day of the Dead Celebrate the lives of loved ones gone with Dias de los Muertos (you might know it as Day of the Dead). They’ll have live music and drink specials to celebrate this holiday of remembrance. Sloppy Joe’s, 10650 Gulf Blvd., Treasure Island. All day. 727367-1600, sloppyjoesonthebeach.com. Sunday, Nov. 1 Farm-to-Beach We don’t think you can ever have enough farmer’s markets (also, some of us may sort of hate “super” markets) so knowing
there’s one more makes us happy. This market, just on the south side of Central Avenue, brings you nutritious, local produce and other foodstuffs. For $25, you can get a box of organic fruits and veggies grown right here in Tampa Bay (because lettuce grown in California lasts about a day in our fridge.) If you want something farther afield, check out the bags and crafts made from the indigenous the Amazon, courtesy of Unbounded World. Awakening Wellness, 2126 1st Ave. S., St. Petersburg. 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. 727-289-4747, awakeningwellness. org. SD MR V It’s Over. We Hope. It’s over! Well, we hope, at least. While politics divides us, Gulfport unites us; come share in that unity at this free grassroots block-party-style party. It’s outdoors, there’s live music (Jennifer Real, the Tortugas, and others will play), and there’s food… and drinks. And hey, after this election, don’t we all deserve a drink? Meet the Gecko Queens, bring the family, and relish in the worst part (we hope) being over. Village Courtyard, 2900 block of Beach Blvd. S., Gulfport. 4-7 p.m. MR
