Mark your calendars, Port St. Lucie!
The City of Port St. Lucie invites residents to continue celebrating community, culture and patriotism at two upcoming events.
Join us for the City ' s annual Juneteenth Celebration on Friday, June 19, from 5-7:30 p. m. at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center. This free community event will commemorate the significance of Juneteenth through live entertainment, cultural experiences, educational exhibits and family-friendly activities that honor freedom, resilience and African American heritage.
Attendees also looked to the skies for a special flyover made possible through the support of St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Toro and the St. Lucie County Sheriff ' s Office.
The City extends its appreciation to the many veterans organizations, community partners, volunteers and participants who helped make the event possible. Their continued dedication ensures that the legacy of our fallen service members is remembered and honored by future generations.
Then, mark your calendars for an evening of patriotic entertainment, family activities, food vendors and community celebration at Port St. Lucie ' s annual Freedomfest on Saturday, July 4, from 5-9 p. m. This year ' s event will feature a headline performance by Max Weinberg, legendary drummer and bandleader, with opening entertainment by Girlfriend Material. The evening will culminate with a spectacular drone show and fireworks display, lighting up the night sky in celebration of our nation ' s 250th birthday.

The Freedomfest VIP Experience offers guests access to an exclusive outdoor hospitality area featuring a shaded cooling lounge, VIP priority parking, complimentary barbecue fare, two complimentary beverages and family-friendly activities.
