Expect lots of ethnic food, song and things to buy along the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront when the popular SPIFFS Folk Fair returns to Vinoy Park on Saturday and Sunday.

Lots of live entertainment, a Parade of Nations at 1 p.m. Saturday and costumed villagers set the mood, which is strikingly authentic. Take in the crafts and food from a variety of ethnic and cultural groups from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the park, Fifth Avenue NE at Bayshore Drive. Tickets are $6 advance, $10 at gate; under 12 free with adult. (727) 552-1896; www.spiffs.org.
