Summer may be winding down, but the fun continues on Florida’s Gulf Coast with the Venice Beach Party 2026. Set for Saturday, September 26, from 1 to 6pm, this free community celebration brings an afternoon of live music, local food, and cold drinks to beautiful Venice Beach.
Hosted by Venice MainStreet, the party is an easy addition to a September getaway. Admission and parking are free, and a complimentary trolley will run between Centennial Park in downtown Venice and the beach throughout the event.
Best of all, guests at Banyan House vacation rentals are conveniently located near both downtown and Venice Beach.
Come for the music, grab something good to eat, and enjoy an afternoon beside the Gulf. With two bands and a tempting lineup of local food vendors on the schedule, there’s plenty to keep the party going until early evening.
