Fun Fall Festivities

This coming weekend are two excellent events in New Smyrna Beach. You can fill a whole day enjoying this darling beach town and what it has to offer. 

Fall Sidewalk Sale! 

November 14 from 9am-5pm

  

Stroll up and down Flagler Avenue and treat yourself to pre-holiday sales.
A great deal can be said about the historic Flagler Avenue… but one visit is worth a thousand words. With some buildings being over 100 years old, you can stroll from the river to the ocean and take in some of the history that makes New Smyrna Beach so unique.

During the sidewalk sale,  New Smyrna Beach. Merchants will offer sidewalk sales in front of their seaside shops. And what fabulous things you can buy! Visit a fun restaurant, and stop in one of the taverns for a refreshing drink! Flagler Avenue is between the river and the ocean, so you can enjoy the water in many of the establishments.

 Also this Saturday, November 14:

Canal Street Cruise! From 4PM-8PM

Classic Car Show with East Coast Cruisers from 4:00pm until 8:00pm.  The city closes off the street to all vehicle traffic with the exception of the Classic Cars themselves. This is an awesome event for the whole family to enjoy, there is food, a D.J. and most of the merchants are open for business during the event.

For information call Pat Teehan at: 386.547.7319 or go to the Canal Street site or visit the cruisers' website
