Reimagining events
Providing a place
for Port St. Lucie to gather
The MIDFLORIDA Event Center has long been a place where Port St. Lucie gathers, celebrates and connects. This year, the Event Center hosted 414 event days, welcomed 187,000 guests( a 34 % jump from last year) and surpassed its revenue goal by 12 %, all while staying within budget.
From the debut of Treasure Coast Comic Con and LEGO ® Brick Universe to the return of community favorites like the Seafood Festival and Christmas in July, the Event Center offered something for everyone. The Candlelight Concert Series became a fan favorite, often selling out multiple times a year.
Behind the scenes, the Event Center made major upgrades to improve the guest experience and operational efficiency. A full restroom renovation, new lighting and upgraded sound systems all are designed for smoother operations and a more comfortable environment.
A new ticketing system launching in 2026 also will reduce costs for customers and modernize the box office experience.
The MIDFLORIDA Event Center ended the year with a 12 % increase in revenue, a 4.9-star customer rating and expenses held right on target. These results reflect the Event Center’ s commitment to being a high-performing, communityfocused facility that delivers value to residents and visitors alike.
