THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
ArtHaus Fall Family Arts Festival

October 17–18, 2026 | Port Orange City Center

This fall, ArtHaus is stepping up to keep some of Port Orange’s most beloved community traditions alive!

With the Port Orange Community Trust taking a one-year pause from Family Days as it regroups for 2027, ArtHaus is proud to bring our community together for the ArtHaus Fall Family Arts Festival, October 17–18 at Port Orange City Center.

At the heart of the weekend is a very special milestone—our 30th Annual ArtHaus Street Painting Festival! For nearly three decades, this colorful tradition has brought incredible chalk artists, families and visitors together to watch City Center transform into an outdoor gallery of amazing works of art.

A Weekend of Art, Family & Community!

Join us for two days featuring:

🎨 30th Annual Street Painting Festival
🛍️ Arts & Crafts Vendors
🤝 Community Organizations
🍴 Food Vendors
🎯 Interactive Games & Family Attractions
🖌️ Arts & Play Zone
🎒 Port Orange Student Parade
🐾 Pet Parade
❤️ And More Family Fun!
Keeping the Tradition Going

ArtHaus has proudly been part of Port Orange's fall celebration since the beginning, and we believe some traditions are simply too special to skip.

While this festival is not intended to replace Family Days, ArtHaus is honored to help bridge the gap in 2026 by preserving as much of the art, family fun and community spirit as we can until Family Days returns.

So bring the kids, bring the family, bring the pets—and come celebrate with us!

Port Orange, the show must go on!

This morning (08/22), at approximately 4:45 a.m., two coyotes were observed within the subdivision. They crossed Country Walk Drive and then entered a nearby yard.

While seeing wildlife is a part of living in our community, residents are encouraged not to feed wild animals or leave food outdoors. Please keep pets leashed when outside and bring them indoors at night.

Residents are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and use caution when walking pets, particularly during early morning and nighttime hours.

Step back in time with us!

These two fire trucks tell part of the story of Port Orange Fire Rescue. On the right is a 1924 LaFrance, and on the left is a 1947 Ford, parked in front of the original City Hall.

Back then, our fire department was made up of volunteers. Today, those early efforts have grown into a full-time professional department dedicated to protecting our community 24 hours a day.
