ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. — Are you ready to sip and stroll and support a great beach community on the comeback trail?

This Friday, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., on St. Pete Beach's historic Corey Avenue, businesses up and down the chummy thoroughfare — from the Beach Theatre to Chill Restaurant & Bar — will join forces to host the fun free "Sip & Stroll."

Parking is also free.

Cocktails and mocktails will be served up and down the avenue, and visitors can shop, eat and help a great neighborhood rediscover its energy.

There have been tepid years on Corey Avenue — and recent hurricanes haven't helped momentum — but new business owners such as Cat Lepetit at Sun Drunk (a beachy store with a cool twist) and Sarah Laracuente at the Sail Market Boutique & Gifts (hip local vendors, upscale clothing) are leading a renaissance.
