History of  the Festival of States

The St. Petersburg Festival of States dates back to 1896 with the George Washington birthday celebration parade, but it was Arthur L. Johnson who, in 1913, organized what is recognized as the Festival forerunner and was officially named the Festival of States in 1921. Residents and winter residents alike enjoyed parades, tournaments, dancing and fireworks. The Festival was produced by the City of St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce to provide incentive for winter residents to stay in the area a little longer. It was named the Festival of States for the 48 tourist societies, which the seasonal tourists organized by their home states, participating with floats and queens in the Parade. The festival’s success outgrew the Chambers staff by 1956, prompting business and civic leaders to form a not-for-profit organization to revitalize and produce the Festival of States. Named for Florida’s Suncoast, the Suncoasters represent more than 280 of the area’s most influential business professionals and civic leaders.
