Residents are invited to connect, explore and share their love for the North Port community during two free events taking place Saturday, Feb. 14.

Newcomer Day: Hosted in partnership with the North Port Area Chamber of Commerce, Newcomer Day is an expo-style event designed to welcome new residents while also serving longtime community members. Attendees can explore information tables hosted by local businesses, nonprofit organizations, government departments, and community groups, offering a helpful snapshot of services, programs and opportunities available throughout Sarasota County's largest city.

When: Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to noon
Where: George Mullen Activity Center, 1602 Kramer Way

Nonprofit organizations interested in hosting an information table may register online at NorthPortFL.gov/NewcomerDay. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. Please note local business spaces are currently full.

Community Yard Sale: Just steps away, the Community Yard Sale invites shoppers to browse a mix of gently used items, handmade goods and creative finds. This outdoor event blends the feel of a traditional yard sale with the creativity of local crafters and artisans, making it a fun stop for bargain hunters and families alike.

When: Feb. 14 from 8 a.m. to noon

Food vendors are also encouraged to apply through NorthPortFL.gov/Vendor-Opportunities. Food vendor participation is subject to specific guidelines and space availability. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance.
