Neighborhood Fall Festival Returns to Punta Gorda

  • October 2025
  • By Burnt Store Meadows

The City of Punta Gorda’s second annual Neighborhood Fall Festival is set for October 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Punta Gorda Charlotte Library, 401 Shreve St. The Fall Festival is a free, family-friendly event with food, games, trick-or-treating, a costume contest, and more.

The festival allows the city to co-host with different organizations and highlight all the great neighborhoods within Punta Gorda. Last year the festival was rescued from the wreckage of Hurricanes Helene and Milton with help from the Punta Gorda YMCA, Cooper Street Rec Center, and dozens of local businesses and nonprofits to provide our Harborside Hometown with a much-needed moment of joy and connection. Over 200 residents came together to enjoy free food, trick or treating, games, a costume contest, and more.

Mark your calendars for a wicked good time celebrating community with your neighbors and friends.
