Port Orange is full of peaceful parks, top-notch entertainment and terrific events and activities throughout every year. Here’s just some of what you have to look forward to in Port Orange this year…
If you love nature, you can watch butterflies and learn about the local flora and fauna on a self-guided tour of Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens. Rent kayaks, canoes, water bikes or take a boat tour down Cracker Creek, a beautiful nature and wildlife area. Not far from Cracker Creek is the Gamble Place Historic District, where you can take an historic tour of the Gamble family hunting/fishing cottage and property. It’s a terrific spot for a family picnic. Buschman Park and Spruce Creek Park are nice for children, dogs and nature lovers and great for walking and biking.
If you are looking for some action, shop till you drop at the Pavilion at Port Orange – full of stores galore, tons of great dining options and a state-of-the-art movie theater showing 14 movies at any given time! Enjoy a live performance or a free movie at the Kenneth Parker Amphitheater. There’s golfing at some challenging courses and a wide array of fishing charters and boat tours from which to choose.
Port Orange also hosts some great events throughout the year. There’s the Port Orange Spring Fair and Craft Show – a four day family festival in March. In April, there is the Port Orange Art Fest – a two-day celebration of the arts, and the Port Orange Lakeside Jazz Festival, where over 85 jazz bands will perform. And you won’t want to miss Port Orange Fun Days in October because there will be pony rides, clowns, live music, carnival rides and games, food vendors and more!
Restaurants in Port Orange are also remarkable. Try Aunt Catfish’s on the River for the best riverfront dining or watch the sunset at Boondocks, a quaint waterfront restaurant and bar nestled along the Halifax River.
