Incorporated in 1999, Palm Coast is one of Florida's youngest cities, and we are thrilled to celebrate 25 years of being Florida’s city on the rise. We invite all Palm Coast residents to commemorate this milestone through special events highlighting our community’s vibrant spirit and history.
We will add unique touches to our regular end-of-year events, including the Senior Games, the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, and the much-anticipated Starlight Parade to mark this special occasion. These celebrations lead to the main attraction – the Palm Coast 25th Anniversary Celebration on October 26th in Central Park.
This event promises an evening full of live music, delicious food, and fun activities for the whole family. Best of all, it’s free and open to the public! We encourage all residents to come out and join us in commemorating this special occasion.
“Celebrating our 25th anniversary is not just about looking back at the wonderful progress we’ve made but also about looking forward to a bright future together,” said Mayor David Alfin. “I invite all our residents to join us in these festivities and honor the community spirit that makes Palm Coast such a wonderful place to live, work, learn, and play. Let's celebrate our past achievements and embrace the exciting opportunities ahead.”
