Each January, folks dust off petticoats and other old-timey clothes then hop on their bicycles for St. Pete Shuffleboard Club’s annual Tweed Ride—and 2024’s rendition celebrates a particularly special occasion.

The historic shuffleboard club—which boasts itself as the “oldest” and “largest” in the world— celebrates a whopping 100 years in The ‘Burg, and 2024’s Tweed Ride will help raise funds so the institution can keep doing what it’s been doing for the past century. The leisurely paced, four-mile ride explores downtown St. Pete, and will conclude at the shuffleboard club with live music from Junco Royal, swing dancing, craft beer courtesy of sponsor Cycle Brewing and eats from local soul food spot Heavy’s.

Remember to rock your best tweed outfit if you plan to participate in this vintage-themed fundraiser. Full price, non-member tickets run for $60 and kids 16 and under can join the ride for $20.

It costs anywhere from $20-$60 to participate in the 12th annual Tweed Ride & Party happening Saturday, Jan. 20 in and around St. Pete Shuffleboard Club (559 Mirror Lake Dr. N.)  Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
