St. Petersburg’s local media outlet, I Love the Burg, is partnering with Voodoo Brewing Co. to host a recurring trivia series led by Josh Ascensio of the Florida Trivia League. The events are held at the brewery’s St. Pete location, located at 2111 3rd Ave. S., and focus on themes centered on the city’s history, culture, and local landmarks.
Trivia Logistics and Participation
The trivia nights are designed to highlight St. Petersburg’s unique identity through curated questions. According to Voodoo Brewing Co., the events take place on select Friday evenings, providing a social environment for residents and visitors. Josh Ascensio, a known figure in the regional trivia circuit through the Florida Trivia League, serves as the host, managing the scoring and question delivery.
Participants typically compete in teams, and the format emphasizes "St. Pete-inspired" content, which differentiates these sessions from standard general-knowledge trivia. Interested attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating, as the brewery’s event space has limited capacity.
The Role of Local Trivia in Community Engagement
The collaboration between a local media brand and a craft brewery reflects a broader trend of "hyper-local" event programming in St. Petersburg. By focusing on specific municipal trivia, organizers aim to foster community engagement and celebrate local knowledge.
The Florida Trivia League, which manages various events across the state, utilizes a structured scoring system that allows players to track their performance across different venues. This partnership leverages I Love the Burg’s audience—which focuses on city developments, dining, and local events—to drive attendance to the brewery’s 3rd Avenue South taproom.
