Sights & Sounds on Second Festival & Parade

Main Street Fort Pierce, the City of Fort Pierce and the Fort Pierce Sunrise Kiwanis are bringing back Sights & Sounds on Second for its 38th year. It's a holiday afternoon in Historic Downtown Fort Pierce, with a parade, music and a Christmas tree lighting to close out the day.

The 2026 theme is "That's a Wrap! Celebrating Milestones & Memories." The parade starts at Tickle Tummy Hill on Second Street. This year's route is new, and you can find it by scanning the QR code on the Main Street Fort Pierce event page. Once the parade is over, stay downtown for the tree lighting, when the decorated tree in the center of town lights up.

It's an easy pick for families, longtime locals and anyone who wants a dose of hometown holiday spirit just up the road from Vero.

When: Sunday, December 6, 2026, 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Where: Downtown Fort Pierce. Parking is free at the City Parking Garage (Orange Ave and Depot Dr), the County Parking Garage (2nd St and Boston Ave), the lot on S. Indian River Dr between Orange Ave and Avenue A, and the lot on N. Indian River Dr between Avenue D and Cedar Pl.

Want to march or ride in the parade? Main Street Fort Pierce has its parade application open on its website, and entries are due by November 20, 2026. Questions can go to Main Street Fort Pierce at 772-466-3880 or [email protected].
