Winter
The cooler months are peak festival season, with outdoor arts and crafts shows, seafood festivals, and holiday events including lighted boat parades along the waterways. The weather is perfect, so outdoor events thrive.
Spring
Spring brings food and wine events, music festivals, and blooming farmers markets. It's also a great time for beach and nature events before the summer heat arrives.
Summer
Summer leans toward beach happenings, Fourth of July fireworks over the water, and evening events that beat the daytime heat. Indoor cultural venues and museums make great midday escapes.
Fall
As the heat breaks, the calendar fills again with community festivals, seafood and cultural celebrations, and the ramp-up to the holiday season.
