The St. Pete Pier – with its restaurants, green spaces, public art and fabulous water views – is great fun to visit any time of year, but on New Year’s Eve it goes from fun to amazing. The free party at Spa Beach Park kicks off at 8 p.m., with a main stage that includes an LED wall, a huge disco ball and high-energy DJ music, as well as kids’ activities, an array of food trucks and a full bar supplied with champagne for midnight toasts.
