Preserve the ‘Burg is the city of St. Petersburg’s partner organization with a mission to maintain the city’s history, enhance the quality of life, and encourage economic vitality. Since its founding, the group has become known for shaping conversations around the management of historic properties, neighborhoods, and landmarks. Each month events such as lectures, tours, and porch parties are hosted for the community to enjoy.
Using promo code “Ethel,” AARP members and their guests may access discount tickets to select Preserve the ‘Burg events, including walking tours, community lectures, and other special events.
Why the code “Ethel” you might ask? Named after AARP’s founder, Ethel Percy Andrus, these partnerships continue to fulfill her goals when she started AARP in 1958. The city of St. Petersburg has special ties to AARP as well. After Andrus chartered the organization, she opened a Hospitality Center in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg. The Hospitality Center played a key role in growing AARP into what it is today.
Whether you’re looking to explore Tampa Bay and Florida’s history and culture or attend events impacting the community, there is truly something for everyone at AARP. You can find more information about additional enrichment offerings for members here.
