What’s worth doing anywhere on the Treasure Coast this week
Week of March 22, 2026

Note from the editor
This week feels like the handoff from spring-break wandering to Easter-weekend planning. Easter itself lands on Sunday, April 5, but some of the best family events are already starting now. So this edition keeps it simple: three solid weekend picks, two extra outings worth a little drive, one weather-flex backup, and a few local reads that are especially useful right now.

This weekend across the coast
|
|
1) Easter Bunny Breakfast | Port St. Lucie
Saturday, March 28 • 9:30–11 a.m. at the Community Center.
This is the gentler family pick for the weekend: French toast, bacon, sweet treats, activities, and Bunny photos. It’s designed for children 6 and younger, and Port St. Lucie is encouraging preregistration, so this is a better reserve-now plan than a show-up-and-see plan. See details →

2) Family Fun Exploration Day featuring the Spring Egg Stroll | Stuart
Saturday, March 28 • 10 a.m.–1 p.m. at Memorial Park.
If you want a family outing that feels more downtown stroll than egg-hunt sprint, this is the better fit. It’s free, passport-themed, and built around food, drinks, games, karaoke, vendor booths, and Easter egg surprises—plus a reason to linger in downtown Stuart once you’re done. See details →

|
3) Fort Pierce Farmers Market | Fort Pierce
Saturday, March 28 • 8 a.m.–1 p.m. at Marina Square.
Sometimes the right plan is just a good market morning. Fort Pierce keeps this easy: produce, seafood, baked goods, coffee, river views, and live music. This Saturday’s listed music is Latin Heritage Orchestra, which makes this a nice low-lift option if you want to be out without committing your whole day. Visit market →

Worth the drive

Vero Beach: Riverside Theatre’s Live in the Loop
Saturday, March 28 • 5:30–8 p.m. with Glory Days.
This is a great late-day pivot if you want something more grown-up after a beach day or errands. Riverside’s Loop events run rain or shine, the setting is easy, and Saturday’s band leans into polished classics from the 60s through the 90s. See event →

|
Palm City: Newfield Eggstravaganza
Friday, April 3 • 4–9:30 p.m. at Newfield.
A little early for this weekend, but exactly the kind of thing that sneaks up if you wait. It’s free, evening-timed, and includes an egg hunt, Bunny photos, face painting, balloon art, food trucks, yard games, and live music—one of the easier mixed-age spring plans on the whole coast. See event →

New & notable
- OTTC’s Easter guide is live: it’s the best one-page regional planner if you’re trying to map out March 28 through April 5 without bouncing between county calendars.
- Indoor guide, freshly useful: if spring weather gets messy, OTTC’s indoor roundup is a handy reset for museum, aquarium, and family-play backups across all three counties.
- Buc-ee’s reality check: OTTC’s Fort Pierce update is still the cleanest quick read if you want the local version without rumor inflation. Short version: real project, not open, still pending final local clearance.

Community note
A small beach reminder that matters this time of year: sea turtle nesting season is underway on our coast. If you head oceanside this weekend, fill in holes, knock down sandcastles, take your trash with you, and keep nighttime lighting low near the beach. It’s one of the easiest local habits that genuinely helps.

Derek’s sign-off
If you only do one thing from this list, make it easy on yourself: pick one structured family plan or one waterfront wander, not five half-plans. That’s usually the difference between a good Treasure Coast weekend and a hectic one.
Thanks for reading,
Derek
