May marks the start of St. Petersburg Preservation‘s (SPP) summer evening walking tours with its “Twilight on the Town" historic tours. The tours offer a great option for what to do on a summer mid-week evening with a relaxing stroll that allows participants to learn a bit of history and architecture, all followed by a chance at the end of the tour to cool down and continue the conversation while enjoying one of the area’s local fun spots. The summer walking tours last about an hour and end at a local business where tour goers are welcome to get something to eat or drink.

Tours are free for SPP members and just $5 for nonmembers. Starting locations and times vary. Reservations welcome but not required: www.stpetepreservation.org
