The SHINE Mural Tour, in collaboration with Star Trolley®, offers a unique and engaging journey through the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. This tour highlights the city’s transformation into an exceptional outdoor gallery, thanks to the SHINE® Mural Festival. Since its inception in 2015 by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, the festival has played a pivotal role in revitalizing neighborhoods and fostering community unity through the medium of street art.
On this tour, passengers will board a white, vintage style, open-air Star Trolley® to explore numerous murals crafted by renowned local, national, and international artists. The journey provides an insightful look into the city’s art scene, narrated by expert guides who share the stories and inspirations behind these dynamic artworks.
