Freeport, Florida News

Winter is over, the azaleas are blooming, and Freeport is ready to celebrate spring the way any good Southern town should — with an egg hunt, games, and enough sugar to keep the kids bouncing until bedtime.

The Spring Festival & Eggstravaganza

The City of Freeport’s annual Spring Festival is a family-friendly event that typically takes place in March or April, timed around the Easter season. The city hasn’t announced the 2027 dates yet, but based on past events, expect it to land on a Saturday morning at a local park or community space.

Trunk or Treat: Freeport's Favorite Halloween Tradition

Freeport, Florida News

Halloween in a small town hits different. And in Freeport, the main event isn’t knocking on strangers’ doors — it’s Trunk or Treat.

What is Trunk or Treat?

Trunk or Treat is exactly what it sounds like: local businesses, churches, clubs, and residents decorate the trunks of their cars and hand out candy to kids in a safe, central location. No walking dark neighborhoods, no wondering which houses are participating — just one big parking lot full of creativity, candy, and community spirit.
