From Spring Training to Waterfront Festivals: Port St. Lucie in 2026

February 18, 2026 | Read Time: 4 minutes

A region’s personality often becomes clearest when its calendar fills up. Across Port St. Lucie and the surrounding Treasure Coast, 2026 moves from spring training and county-fair traditions to waterfront festivals, food events, live music and recurring gatherings that give residents plenty of reasons to explore beyond the shoreline.

Some happen once a year while others have become part of the weekly or monthly routine, but together they show how much is happening between Port St. Lucie and nearby Fort Pierce. For full-time and seasonal residents alike, the following events are among the local experiences that Wylder residents can return to throughout the year.

New York Mets Spring Training | February 21–Late March

Each spring, Clover Park hosts New York Mets spring training in Port St. Lucie. The season opens on February 21 with an afternoon game against the Miami Marlins. Clover Park’s smaller stadium setting allows fans to watch professional players up close as they prepare for the regular season.

Drive It Home Weekend | February 21-22

Locals are invited to see what’s new at Port St. Lucie’s newest golf lifestyle, Glynlea Country Club.

Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers Market | Every Saturday

Open year-round from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers Market has been named among the best in the country. Located at the Fort Pierce City Marina, the market features fresh produce, baked goods, specialty foods, and local vendors. Live music is often part of the experience, making it a favorite Saturday morning tradition since 1997.

Friday Fest | First Friday of Each Month

Friday Fest takes place along the downtown Fort Pierce waterfront and is hosted by Main Street Fort Pierce. The event features live bands, food vendors, drinks, and local artisans, with streets closed to traffic to create a walkable festival atmosphere. Friday Fest is recognized as one of the longest running street party on the Treasure Coast.

When the Local Calendar Becomes Part of Life at Home

Living near these events changes them from occasional outings into choices that can fit naturally into the year. A baseball game, Saturday market, waterfront festival or evening of live music can become part of an ordinary weekend rather than something that requires planning a trip around it.

Throughout Wylder, parks, paths and neighborhood amenities add another layer to the experience at home, giving residents places to spend time outdoors between the events and destinations found across the surrounding Treasure Coast.

More than 15 model homes are open daily at 5925 NW Wylder Parkway in Port St. Lucie, allowing visitors to compare different home styles and neighborhoods during a single visit.
