Barbecue lovers and craft enthusiasts have plenty to savor when the Port St. Lucie Bacon & BBQ Festival and the Port St. Lucie Fall Craft Fair return to the MIDFLORIDA Event Center on Sept. 27–28.
The two-day event combines shopping and food into one family-friendly celebration. Admission is free, making it one of the most accessible fall gatherings on the Treasure Coast.
Inside the event center, attendees will find the Fall Craft Fair, featuring artists and crafters from across Florida showcasing seasonal and holiday-themed creations. From handmade jewelry and home décor to unique gifts, the fair offers a chance to shop local while supporting independent artisans.
Outside, festivalgoers can indulge in a classic Southern spread. The Bacon & BBQ Festival will feature slow-cooked ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and bacon-themed specialties alongside craft cocktails, beer, and other refreshments. Live entertainment will keep the atmosphere festive throughout the weekend.
Organizers are also encouraging attendees to give back. Both events will host a food drive for the Treasure Coast Food Bank, with visitors asked to bring canned goods and non-perishable donations. Orange collection bins will be stationed at the entrance.
The combination of food, music, and crafts has become a Port St. Lucie tradition, drawing crowds from across the region. For more information about the festivals and other events at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center, visit midfloridaeventcenter.com.
