Treasure Coast Events and Festivals

Seafood, art, film and pineapples, from January to November.

Treasure Coast events and festivals cluster in winter and spring, when the weather is mild and seasonal residents are in town. This list covers the regional festivals that our county guides do not, so look there too for boat shows, county fairs, spring training and the weekly downtown street parties.

Dates shift from year to year, and some festivals are run by volunteers with changing schedules. Always confirm on the organizer’s site, and book rooms early for the biggest weekends.
