Season’s readings: Our Tampa Bay holiday guide
Our epic guide to holiday events in Tampa Bay.
Dunedin
Dunedin cherishes its heritage through regular wine, arts, antiques and holiday gatherings, and hosts the hugely popular Scottish Highland Games. The quaint downtown district features pedestrian-friendly wide sidewalks and diagonal parking lined by gift shops, clothing boutiques, homemade ice cream and candy stores, and some of the region’s best eats. A weekly green market rocks, too. The popular Pinellas Trail runs through the heart of downtown, attracting a steady stream of bicyclists, walkers, joggers and skaters – even on weekdays. Redevelopment efforts are targeting high-tech and health care-related employers to create new high-quality jobs.
