As you probably have, we’ve been missing our New Smyrna Beach peeps; but as you may have heard there’s always a “Party on Flagler”! So put your party pants on and don’t say we didn’t warn you. Here’s a cursory list of what you can expect for 2022 just to get you started…

In January, there was the Chowder Fest and February 25^th through March 1^st was a spooky good time at the Voodoo Music Festival.

March 1^st is a Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras Parade and Celebration and March 11-17 is hot on its heels with the Shamrock N Roll Music Fest.

Heard of the hunt for The Great Pumpkin? Well, we have The Great New Smyrna Beach Egg Hunt April 2^nd through the 16^th on Flagler Avenue and then get your fill at our Annual New Smyrna Beach Food Fest April 21^st.

May 5^th is Cinco de Mayo and our New Smyrna Beach Blues Festival fills the Flagler Avenue air with sweet sounds May 6^th through the 8^th.

It’s all about (well, mostly anyway) food and music here, so don’t miss the Seaside Fiesta and Music Festival June 16-19 and then the Red White and Blue Music Fest July 1-4.

August 4^th is the New Smyrna Beach Shrimp and Seafood Fest and September 3^rd is a Sangria Social.

The Fall Music Festival is October 14-17 and did we mention The Great Pumpkin? Find that big guy at the New Smyrna Beach Great Pumpkin Hunt October 15-31. Then top off the Halloween festivities with New SmyrnaWeen on October 31^st!

November 12-13 is the Flamingo Follies Art Show and then the New Smyrna Beach Rock and Roll Music Festival is November 19-20.

Light up Flagler on December 2^nd and enjoy the Santa Paws Pooch Parade as well as a Crazy Christmas Cart Parade. The traditional New Smyrna Beach Christmas Parade is December 3^rd on Flagler.

If it’s all about cheese (or beer) for you, don’t miss the December 27^th grilled cheese challenge and Craft Beer Walk. By the way, there is a Wine Walk on the last Saturday of every month too.

Oh, and there is a Flagler Avenue New Year’s Eve celebration of course!
