The first Friday evening of each month brings Friday Fest with beer, wine, food, craft vendors, and music... More

We went to Ft Pierce expecting to find an historic downtown with shopping. The area had clearly been renovated - several blocks, even. But the buildings were largely empty! We stopped in an ice cream shop for suggestions and they told us that some were closed for the season, some were just closed. There was a very pretty little park... More

If you are in the area on Saturday, this is a fun filled morning with very good food vendors, fresh produce, and some nice craft vendors.

City keeps trying to upgrade but many local issues keep it in the pits. Best area is around marina and Saturday Farmers MArket is fun.

Crime, drugs and the lack of civic leadership over the years has lead to a city in decline. As an outsider I find it the least appealing area smack in the middle of a viberant Vero and Stuard
