Named America’s Happiest Seaside Town, the City of Stuart is a hidden gem on the Treasure Coast that offers people a chance to join a lively and close-knit community. The city boasts many annual events such as arts and crafts festivals, shopapaloozas and Halloween and Christmas celebrations. However, every Sunday in Downtown Stuart, there are plenty of fun activities happening all day long. From farmer’s markets and live music to many restaurants and boutiques, here’s how the locals enjoy their Sunday in Downtown Stuart.

Stuart Green Market:

Located at Flagler Park, the Stuart Green Market brings to Downtown Stuart a myriad of freshly prepared, high-quality goods each week. From produce to freshly baked bread, handcrafted soaps, handmade paintings, locally created artwork, jewelry and more, this market is open every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Courtesy trams are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays to help you get from parking to the downtown area seamlessly.

Rock’n Riverwalk:

After a stroll through the farmer’s market, follow the sounds of music to the iconic sail shades of the Riverwalk Stage. Rock’n Riverwalk, Downtown Stuart’s signature waterfront concert series, takes place every Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Presented by Stuart Main Street and the Historic Downtown Business Association, people can relax in the shade, dine al fresco and enjoy local musicians as they play a variety of music.

The Best Brunch Places in Town:

Whenever hunger strikes, there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance from Flagler Park to enjoy. If you’re looking to dine with waterfront views, The Boathouse offers a mix of everything including seafood, salads, sandwiches and sushi rolls. For those looking for a cozier brunch option, the Osceola Street Café offers a quaint atmosphere where one can enjoy homemade breakfasts, baked goods, and specialty soups, salads and sandwiches. With a casual upscale dining atmosphere, the Spritz City Bistro offers an array of classic American cuisines. Finally, Café Martier at the Post Office Arcade is an eclectic modern European café that features a wine garden, breezeway piano bar and a speakeasy.

Locally Owned Shops and Boutiques:

Featuring everything from fine art and home décor to accessories and clothing, Downtown Stuart contains dozens of unique, independently owned boutiques to explore.
