Fort Pierce Picks • Week of March 22, 2026
Your easiest Fort Pierce plan this week
Make it a waterfront Saturday morning, one good Sunrise night, and keep one indoor backup ready in case the weather turns.

Note from the editor
Fort Pierce is one of those places that gets better when you stop trying to overbuild the plan. Start downtown, let the waterfront set the pace, and pick one or two things that are actually worth leaving the house for. This week is an easy one: the farmers market is still the best default Saturday move, Sunrise has two solid night-out options, and there’s a new downtown spot on Orange Avenue that feels worth knowing early.

Start here
- Best default Saturday plan: start at the Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers Market, then walk the waterfront and downtown blocks before the day gets crowded.
- Park once and keep it easy: the free City Tram runs Friday evening and Saturday daytime, which makes downtown much easier than people assume. Use it to bounce between Marina Square, 2nd Street, Indian River Drive, and Backus Avenue without doing the whole parking shuffle.
- Want nature instead? The free Top Secret Topic Hike at Donald B. Moore Preserve is the cleanest swap if you want fresh air instead of the downtown loop.

This weekend in Fort Pierce
|

Friday, March 27
Best Friday pick if you want Fort Pierce to feel like an actual night out. Show time is 8:00 PM, and dinner downtown before the Sunrise Theatre is about as easy as local plans get. |
|
Saturday, March 28
Still the most reliable Fort Pierce weekend move. It runs 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, rain or shine, right by the marina. Go early, grab coffee, wander a little, and let the free parking at the Avenue A garage plus the shuttle keep the whole morning painless.

Saturday, March 28
This is the bigger Saturday-night play. The show starts at 8:00 PM, and if you only pick one evening event this week, this is the one I’d lean toward for a fuller night out without leaving Fort Pierce.
|
|
Sunday, March 29
Best Sunday option if you want something social but not exhausting. It runs 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and the smaller downtown-room feel makes it an easier landing than a full dinner-and-drinks plan.

One useful pick
This is the easiest indoor backup in Fort Pierce. If the weather turns or the day starts drifting, go here. The Aquarium runs Tuesday–Saturday 10:00 AM–4:00 PM, Sunday noon–4:00 PM, and Monday 10:00 AM–4:00 PM during January through March. It is simple, affordable, and the joint ticket with the History Museum makes it an especially smart move with kids or visitors. |

Community note
One small nudge this week: go one block beyond your usual Fort Pierce loop. The Peacock Arts District is the kind of place that makes the city feel more interesting once you slow down enough to notice it. The Peacock House is running guided tours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11:00 AM, and the A.E. Backus Museum is still one of the best grounding stops in town when you want something that feels distinctly Fort Pierce.

That’s my Fort Pierce read for the week: one strong market morning, one or two worthwhile Sunrise nights, a new downtown spot to know, and an indoor backup that saves the day if the weather turns. See you out there.
