The Weekend Compass 🧭🤍

November 6–8, 2026 | A Little Sunshine, A Lot of Helping Hands

Good evening, Compass friends!

Well, goodness gracious.

Usually, Thursday evening means we’re rounding up farmers markets, festivals, music, art, and all the wonderful little reasons to get out and explore our Treasure Coast.

And we’re still going to do that.

But this week? Our compass is pointing toward our neighbors first.

Between the relentless rain, rising water, flooded homes, struggling farms, and roads that have become something resembling canals, it’s been quite a week.

And for some families, the hard part isn’t over.

While a few of us might be thinking about finding a farmers market or grabbing something delicious from a food truck, others are figuring out where to move their animals, how to protect their homes, and what can possibly be salvaged.

Both realities exist right here in our community.

So this week’s Weekend Compass comes with a little extra care.

We’re sharing events that are still listed for the weekend, noting known cancellations, and encouraging everyone to check directly with organizers before heading out.

Because sunshine in the forecast doesn’t necessarily mean the water has gone away.

And nobody needs to discover a closed road halfway to the kettle corn.

🧭 Friday, November 6 — A Little Music and Community

First Friday Art Walk & Kids Art Fest | Stuart

5–9 PM for the Art Walk; 5–8 PM for the children’s activities.

The Creek District and Kiwanis Park are scheduled to welcome art lovers and young creatives. A lovely opportunity to support local artists and see what our talented neighbors have been making.

Friday Fest | Downtown Fort Pierce

5:30–8:30 PM at Marina Square.

Live music, food vendors, crafts, and a little waterfront community spirit. Admission is free.

Food Trucks & Tributes | Tradition

5–9 PM at Tradition Square, with a Fleetwood Mac tribute performance scheduled.

Because of flooding in the Tradition area, this is one I’d absolutely verify before leaving home.

🧭 Saturday, November 7 — Markets, Makers & More

Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers Market

8 AM–noon at Marina Square.

Fresh produce, local makers, plants, food, and all those things I can convince myself are necessities.

I’m looking at you, fresh herbs.

Shopapalooza Fall Sidewalk Sale | Downtown Stuart

10 AM–5 PM along Osceola Street, with shopping scheduled again Sunday.

A chance to support our local shops as we head toward the holidays.

Navy SEAL Museum Muster | Fort Pierce

Activities are scheduled throughout the day at the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum.

Please check the museum’s parking and shuttle instructions before heading out.

Sebastian Clambake | Riverview Park

11 AM–9 PM Saturday, continuing Sunday.

Seafood, live music, and community festivities. Admission is free, with food available for purchase.

This is the Compass pick for the weekend! We love ChaChing! 

Treasure Coast Brew Fest | Stuart

1–5 PM at Memorial Park.

This is a ticketed tasting event, although non-sampling admission is listed as free.

🧭 Sunday, November 8 — Slow Down and Wander

Market on Main | Downtown Stuart

9 AM–2 PM at Flagler Park.

Local vendors, handmade finds, and a beautiful reason to stroll downtown.

Art in the Park | Vero Beach

10 AM–4 PM at Humiston Park.

An outdoor art show with local creativity on display. Free admission.

Sebastian Clambake | Riverview Park

11 AM–5 

One more opportunity to enjoy the weekend festivities if conditions allow.

Shopapalooza | Downtown Stuart

10 AM–5 PM.

A second day to browse local businesses and perhaps get a little Christmas shopping started.

⚠️ Before You Grab Your Keys

Canceled: The St. Lucie County 4-H Fall Festival scheduled for Saturday, November 7, will not take place because of flooding at the farm.

Use extra caution: Some parks, trails, and roads throughout the Treasure Coast remain affected by flooding. Other events may change plans at short notice.

Please check the organizer’s latest updates, confirm the venue and parking, and never drive through standing water.

A pretty Saturday afternoon is not worth putting yourself or someone coming to rescue you in danger.

🤍 A Different Kind of Weekend Adventure

And here’s another idea for this weekend.

Maybe your outing doesn’t involve a festival at all.

Maybe it involves taking a meal to someone who’s been cleaning up floodwater.

Checking on a neighbor.

Helping move supplies.

Offering a trailer, a truck, a pair of work gloves, or a few hours of your time.

Maybe it means supporting a local business that’s had a terribly difficult week.

Or simply calling someone and asking, “What do you need?”

Sometimes the best places our compass takes us aren’t destinations.

They’re people.

🧭 Compass Thought

I’ve been reminded this week that community isn’t just about gathering when everything is beautiful.

It’s about showing up when things are muddy, inconvenient, exhausting, and uncertain.

It’s easy to love our little corner of Florida when the sun is shining and the river is sparkling.

But love gets its work boots on when the water rises.

And that’s when we find out just how much our neighbors mean to us.

🧭 Compass Verse

Galatians 6:2 (NASB)

“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”

🧭 Compass Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We lift up our Treasure Coast neighbors who are still dealing with flooding, loss, and uncertainty.

Protect families, first responders, farmers, animals, and everyone working to bring relief.

Give strength to those who are exhausted, wisdom to those making difficult decisions, and helping hands to those who need them.

Remind us to notice the needs around us and love our neighbors in practical ways.

May this weekend bring safety, a little rest, and hope for the days ahead.

Amen. 🤍

Compass friends, what have we missed?

Has an event been canceled, moved, or rescheduled? Is there a local business, family, or organization that could use a little extra community support this weekend?

Please share in the comments so we can help one another.

Notice More. Love Well. Gather Often.

Find Your Way Home.
