St. Lucie County Festivals and Events

Baseball in spring, a frogmen reunion in fall and waterfront parties all year.

The year in St. Lucie County starts with baseball. Mets spring training at Clover Park and the St. Lucie County Fair both arrive in late winter, and they are the busiest weeks for hotels. Downtown Fort Pierce keeps a steady schedule through the season, led by Friday Fest and Saturday’s farmers market and jazz market.

Port St. Lucie has built a fuller events calendar since opening its riverfront district, with monthly river nights in the cooler months, an Oktoberfest, an international festival and a holiday light display. The Navy SEAL Museum’s Muster in November is one of the most distinctive events on the Treasure Coast.
