The Coliseum — Attraction in Saint Petersburg

My son, Milosz, 20, a pianist with autism (YouTube: Milosz Gasior Defying Autism with Music) performed at the Night to Shine Pinellas (an event sponsored by the @timtebowfoundation) in front of the Coliseum on February 10th, 2024. When it was time for the honored guests (persons with disabilities) to enter the building, a red carpet was rolled out in front of the Coliseum.

The items from booth to booth are very similar, so look at everything before you jump on one booth to negotiate for that item. The location is easy to get to, so traveling should be simple and parking is free. Watch out, the...
