Looking for Fall Fun in Flagler Beach? Here Are 10 October Events You Should Know - Wix

October in Flagler Beach has a certain salty sparkle to it. The mornings feel a little cooler, the Surf is still rolling, and the local calendar fills up with everything from cardboard boats to spooky bike rides, creative workshops, live music, and cinnamon-sand beach walks.

Planning a fall getaway? Here are 10 October 2026 events in Flagler Beach and Palm Coast to put on your list.

A quick note: Event dates, times, locations, ticket policies, and registration details can change. Please verify every event with the organizer before making plans.

1. Flagler Beach Farmers Market

Start your Saturday with a stroll through the Flagler Beach Farmers Market, typically held in front of Flagler Beach City Hall.

Expect prepared food, fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade goods, local art, and plenty of friendly small-town conversation from more than 30 local vendors. Pick up something tasty for breakfast, browse for a beach-trip souvenir, then wander toward the water.

Fresh produce. Local crafts. Coffee. A little salty air.

The market is listed as a weekly Saturday event, but October dates and hours should be confirmed with the organizers.

2. Ocean Cardboard Regatta, October 10

Ready for a little wonderfully wobbly waterfront excitement?

The Ocean Cardboard Regatta is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026, at noon, across from Veterans Park in Flagler Beach. Teams build boats from corrugated cardboard, then attempt to race them through the surf.

It’s free, family-friendly, and exactly the kind of wonderfully quirky event that makes Flagler Beach feel like Flagler Beach. Look for creative designs, dramatic sinkings, and awards for speed, originality, and the infamous “Titanic” moments.

Bring a camera, and maybe a towel.

3. Witches and Warlocks of Flagler Beach Bike Ride

Costumes, decorated bikes, broomstick-inspired rides, and a cheerful dash of Halloween spirit? Yes, please.

The annual Witches and Warlocks of Flagler Beach Bike Ride is expected to return toward the end of October. The 2026 date and registration details are still listed as to be announced, so check with Flagler Beach Creates before you go.

Past rides have included costume contests, decorated-bike awards, and a relaxed route around Flagler Beach. It’s part parade, part bike ride, and entirely photogenic.

Best costume wins extra bragging rights. Best broomstick? Even better.

4. Create Beautiful Micro Mosaic Jewelry: October 25

Looking for a creative break from the beach?

The Create Beautiful Micro Mosaic Jewelry workshop is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at 1 p.m. at the Gallery of Local Art in Flagler Beach, according to current local listings.

This hands-on workshop gives you the chance to design a tiny mosaic piece and turn it into wearable art. A colorful little reminder of your October by the ocean. It’s a lovely option for couples, friends, and anyone who prefers a cozy indoor activity when the afternoon clouds roll in.

Workshop space may be limited, so confirm the event details and registration requirements with the Gallery of Local Art before attending.

5. Gyotaku Fish-Printing Workshop

Ever tried making art with a fish impression?

Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese fish-printing technique that creates detailed images from an actual fish form. It’s a natural fit for Flagler Beach, especially for ocean lovers, curious kids, and creative travelers looking for something beyond the usual beach day.

A Gyotaku workshop has appeared in local Flagler Beach listings, but a clearly confirmed October 2026 date, time, and venue were not available when this post was prepared. Check local Flagler events, area galleries, and state-park listings for updates.

It could be the perfect rainy-day plan: hands-on, coastal, and wonderfully unexpected.

6. Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Walk: October 4

The Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Walk is scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Palm Coast Community Center. The event runs from 7:45 to 11 a.m.

Participants help support early detection screenings, cancer education, informational materials, and diagnostic testing. Whether you run, walk, cheer from the sidelines, or simply want to support an important local cause, it’s a meaningful way to begin the month.

Registration is required, and pricing should be confirmed through the organizer.

Afterward? A slow breakfast and a restorative walk by the Atlantic sound pretty good.

7. Beats & Eats, October 22

Food trucks, live entertainment, vendors, yard games, beer, and wine: what’s not to like?

Beats & Eats is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Stage at Town Center in Palm Coast. The free monthly event combines local bites with music from the Palm Coast Concert Series.

It’s an easygoing evening for groups, couples, and families who want to sample a little of everything without committing to one restaurant. Grab dinner, listen to live music, and let the evening stretch out.

Did I mention there are food trucks?

Check the event listing before heading out in case the schedule changes.

8. Hall of Terror, October 30–31

For classic Halloween chills, Palm Coast’s Hall of Terror returns Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, at Palm Coast Fire Station 21.

The 2026 theme is Universal Monsters, so expect a walk-through experience inspired by legendary horror figures. The event is scheduled for 7 to 10 p.m. and is free to attend. A low-sensory hour may also be offered before the main event, confirm details with the City of Palm Coast.

Parents should review the scare level before bringing younger children. For everyone else, it’s a fun way to add a little spooky energy to a coastal weekend.

Classic monsters. Dark corridors. Maybe a quick Ice Cream afterward to recover?

9. Taste of the Fun Coast: October 27

Bring your appetite to Taste of the Fun Coast, currently scheduled for October 27, 2026, in the Flagler/Palm Coast area.

This culinary fundraiser is expected to feature tastings from local restaurants, along with wine and spirits, and will benefit the Sea Turtle Hospital at Whitney Laboratory. The 2026 venue and exact schedule should be verified with the organizer; previous editions have been associated with Hammock Beach Resort.

It’s a delicious opportunity to sample the local food scene in one evening, and support marine life while you do it.

Small plates. Big flavors. A very good reason to leave room for dessert.

10. The President’s Own United States Marine Band: October 13

For a more polished night out, The President’s Own United States Marine Band is scheduled to perform Tuesday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center, also known as Flagler Auditorium, in Palm Coast.

The performance is part of the band’s 2026 national tour and is listed for the auditorium at 5500 Florida-100. Ticket availability and entry requirements should be confirmed through the Flagler Auditorium event listing or the official Marine Band tour calendar.

It’s a memorable way to spend an October evening, especially if you enjoy live music, historic performances, and a little dressed-up culture between Beach days.
