Golf Cart Rentals for Fall Events: Oktoberfest, Art Walks & Market Days in St. Pete Beach

Summer is gone, but that doesn’t mean St. Pete got boring. In fact, with Oktoberfest and other events starting soon, things are about to get really fun, and what better way to visit than on a golf cart rental for fall events? 

At Beach Ride Rental, we know just how packed big events get, and trust us when we tell you you’ll want to take advantage of the golf cart parking spaces. Still not convinced? Let us show you why you want to go for a cart this fall.

Oktoberfest Vibes & Pier Parties

First up: Piertoberfest, St. Pete’s Oktoberfest on the Pier. Expect German beers, live bands, dancers, stein holds, and fun all day long at Family Park by the Pier

Rolling in with a cart means you dodge the parking battle, pull up close, and hop between tents with ease. Planning tip: arrive early, park the cart, then sample the brews and games without dragging bags around. 

Bonus: there’s also Oktoberfest Pinellas at the German‑American Society, with food, music, and dancing.

Art Walk Nights, Gallery Hops & Night Markets

Second Saturday ArtWalk in St. Petersburg transforms multiple districts—Central, Grand Central, Warehouse, Waterfront, and Uptown—into one big artist crawl. Galleries open 5‑9 p.m., new exhibits debut, murals pop up, and food trucks roll in. 

Cart perks: you can dart between neighborhoods, pause at murals, pick up a small print or sculpture, and stay mobile the whole night. One local event to keep in mind: Creative Clay’s First Friday Art Market features ceramics, paintings, live music, and food trucks. 

The Art Walk often has a night market component too—think artisan booths set up right along the route so you don’t have to walk blocks.

Market Days & Sunday Treasures

Fall Sundays bring markets to life. A few local favorites:

St. Pete Sunday Market (11 a.m.–4 p.m.) at the History Museum near the Pier—local makers, art, and crafts.

Downtown Williams Park Market on Saturdays (October–May) with produce, art, and live music. 

Madeira Beach Wednesday Market and Corey Avenue Sunday Market (nearby) also draw locals and visitors. 

With a cart, you can hop from stall to stall, carry your finds (fresh bread, pottery, plants) without juggling bags, and move to the next spot without returning to a distant car. If two markets happen back‑to‑back, map them and ride straight through.

FAQ'S

Is event parking really that nightmarish in St. Pete Beach?

Definitely. Most lots fill early, and street parking disappears fast. That’s why event parking in St. Pete Beach often ends with frustrated walkers or late arrivals. A cart changes the game.

Are your carts allowed inside festival zones and stair‑filled areas?

Yes, our carts are street-legal in festival zones and throughout the city. Just stick to low-speed zones and you're golden.

Can I bring friends or family along to events in the cart?

Absolutely. Our carts accommodate up to 8 riders. It’s perfect for group festival nights or art crawls—so nobody misses out on the ride.

What’s smart to pack for a full event day in a cart?

Think essentials: water bottles, a foldable tote, a phone charger, a light jacket, and maybe a rain poncho. That covers the what-to-bring-when-carting-to-events basics so nothing sneaks up on you.

What happens if the weather turns while I'm out exploring?

Fall in Florida has surprise showers. Keep a compact umbrella or poncho in the cart. We also sanitize and check carts between rentals, so you’re not stuck with a soggy, grimy ride.
