Fort Pierce residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a day of family‑friendly fun at the Beach Jam festival on Saturday, November 14, 2026. The free event will be held at the scenic Causeway Cove Marina, offering a blend of recreation, community service and local culture.

Attendees can expect a variety of activities, including:
- Pick, Paddle and Play – guided paddle sessions for all skill levels.
- Live music from local bands and performers.
- Family‑oriented games and contests.
- Food trucks featuring regional favorites.
- Opportunities to volunteer in a beach clean‑up effort.
All activities are free, and the event is designed to be accessible to families, seniors and anyone who loves the outdoors.
Community Leaders Support the Festival
Roger Templeman, executive director of Stabilize Revitalize Fort Pierce, highlighted the festival’s role in fostering community pride. “Beach Jam shows how we can come together to protect our shoreline while enjoying the gifts God gave us,” Templeman said.
Roxy Brown, CEO and founder of CareBag, added that the event aligns with her organization’s mission to serve families in need. “By providing a safe, joyful space for families, we strengthen the fabric of our neighborhoods,” Brown noted.

Why It Matters
Beyond entertainment, Beach Jam reinforces the Treasure Coast’s tradition of caring for God‑created natural resources and supporting strong families. The festival offers a wholesome alternative to commercial entertainment, encouraging residents to enjoy the outdoors, build relationships and serve their community.
Local businesses also benefit from increased foot traffic, and volunteers gain a sense of purpose by contributing to a cleaner, more beautiful shoreline.
Fort Pierce’s city leaders have expressed continued support for the festival, seeing it as a model for future community‑driven events that blend faith, family and civic responsibility.
