If you’re searching for things to do in Flagler Beach this October, here are 10 events and recurring local favorites to know about for 2026. A few are in nearby Palm Coast, just a short drive away, while several are right in Flagler Beach itself.
Event details can change. Always verify dates, times, locations, registration requirements, and weather policies with the official organizer before attending.
1. Flagler Beach Farmers Market
Saturdays in October, generally 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
In front of Flagler Beach City Hall
Start your Saturday with fresh produce, prepared foods, handmade goods, and local art at the Flagler Beach Farmers Market.
The market typically brings together more than 30 local vendors, making it an easy way to taste, browse, and shop like a local. Pick up breakfast, stock the kitchen for a beach-day lunch, or find a few gifts to tuck into your suitcase.
The current listing places the market in front of City Hall. October dates are expected to include October 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31, but check the Flagler Events calendar before heading out.
2. The 2026 Ocean Cardboard Regatta
Saturday, October 10, 2026
Flagler Beach
Cardboard boats. Ocean air. A little friendly competition.
The Ocean Cardboard Regatta is one of those wonderfully offbeat local events that captures Flagler Beach’s classic, laid-back personality. The City of Flagler Beach has listed the 2026 regatta as a free community event on October 10.
Expect creative homemade vessels, plenty of cheering, and a fun morning by the shoreline. It’s a good pick for families, groups, and anyone who enjoys seeing a beach town do something delightfully unexpected.
3. Witches and Warlocks of Flagler Beach Bike Ride
October date to verify; local listings indicate October 23–25
Flagler Beach Municipal Pier area
For a little Halloween-season color, keep an eye out for the annual Witches and Warlocks of Flagler Beach Bike Ride.
Visit Flagler lists this costumed bicycle tradition among the area’s recurring October events. A local calendar listing has shown activities connected with the Flagler Beach Municipal Pier from October 23 through 25, 2026, but the complete schedule should be confirmed before you make plans.
It’s a fun way to see the town dressed up in its spooky-season best, and a reminder that Flagler Beach is full of hidden gems that don’t always appear on the big tourist itineraries.
4. Create Beautiful Micro Mosaic Jewelry
Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 1 p.m.
Gallery of Local Art, Flagler Beach
Looking for a quieter afternoon activity? The Create Beautiful Micro Mosaic Jewelry workshop is currently listed for 1 p.m. on October 25 at the Gallery of Local Art in Flagler Beach.
This kind of small-scale art experience is perfect for a rainy-day plan, a creative date, or an afternoon away from the beach without giving up the local flavor. Check the Eventbrite listing for availability, pricing, materials, and the confirmed venue details before attending.
5. Gyotaku Fish Printing Fun Workshop
Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 1 p.m.
208 S. Central Avenue, Flagler Beach
Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese fish-printing technique, and it makes for a memorable coastal art project.
The Gyotaku Fish Printing Fun Workshop is currently listed for Halloween afternoon at 1 p.m. in Flagler Beach. It could be a nice option when you want something hands-on and creative between a cinnamon-sand stroll and an early dinner.
Because workshop details and registration requirements may change, verify the listing before you go.
6. Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Walk
Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 7:45 a.m.
Palm Coast Community Center
The Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Walk is scheduled for the morning of October 4 at the Palm Coast Community Center.
The event supports early-detection screenings, cancer-related education, and diagnostic testing. It’s a meaningful way to begin an October morning, especially if you’re visiting with friends or family who enjoy community races and local fundraisers.
Registration details, route information, and arrival instructions are available through the event listing.
7. Beats & Eats
Thursday, October 22, 2026, 6–8 p.m.
The Stage at Town Center, Palm Coast
A little food, a little music, and a breezy evening outdoors, sounds like a solid Florida fall plan, right?
Beats & Eats combines food trucks, vendors, yard games, beer and wine, and live entertainment from the Palm Coast Concert Series. It’s in Palm Coast rather than Flagler Beach, but it makes an easy evening outing from an oceanfront suite.
Go early, enjoy dinner outside, and then head back toward the coast for a salty night breeze.
8. The Hall of Terror
Friday, October 30, 2026, 7–10 p.m.
Palm Coast Fire Station 21
For Halloween-weekend thrills, the City of Palm Coast’s Hall of Terror is scheduled for October 30.
The 2026 theme is listed as Universal Monsters, so expect classic spooky-season atmosphere rather than a quiet night with a book. It’s a good choice for older children, teens, and grown-ups who enjoy a little theatrical fright.
Check the official listing for admission information, age guidance, and any schedule updates.
9. Taste of the Fun Coast
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
Location and schedule to verify
Food lovers should watch for Taste of the Fun Coast, listed by Flagler Broadcasting for October 27.
The event is promoted as a regional food-focused experience, making it a tempting addition to a fall getaway itinerary. Exact location, start time, participating restaurants, and ticket information should be confirmed closer to the date.
This is where having a full kitchen comes in handy, too. Enjoy a tasting event one evening, then pick up local ingredients and make a relaxed breakfast the next morning, no rushing, no reservations, no problem.
10. The President’s Own United States Marine Band
Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Location and ticket details to verify
For something beyond the beach, local listings include a performance by The President’s Own United States Marine Band on October 13.
The event is part of the wider Flagler-area calendar and may require a short drive from Flagler Beach. Confirm the venue, start time, ticketing details, and parking information before making plans.
It’s a lovely option for visitors who want to pair a relaxed daytime on the coast with an evening of live music.
Why Bombora Makes a Great October Home Base
October is an especially good time to choose a place that keeps the beach within easy reach. At Bombora Oceanfront Suites, the dune walk-over is directly in front of the property, so you’re just steps from the sand, just steps from a sunrise walk, just steps from a quick afternoon swim, just steps from the Atlantic.
Every suite offers an unobstructed 180-degree ocean view, along with a full kitchen and sleeper sofa. The four modern suites range from one-bedroom options to a three-bedroom Penthouse, giving couples, families, and groups room to settle in comfortably.
Did I mention the free on-site laundry? After a day of Surf, Sun, and salty towels, it’s one of those little conveniences that feels very big.
There’s also a shared ocean-side patio for morning Coffee or evening Cocktails, plus walkability to Flagler Pier, restaurants, bars, cafés, and classic beach-town treats. Leave the car parked. Wander. Come back when you’re hungry.
That’s the charm of Flagler Beach, and why Bombora works so well for Florida beach getaways.
A Few October Planning Tips
- Verify every event: Schedules, venues, and weather policies can change. Check the City of Flagler Beach calendar, Flagler Events, Visit Flagler, and the individual event pages before attending.
- Plan for warm days and cooler evenings: October is still beach weather, but bring a light layer for nighttime events.
- Book dining early: Local restaurants can fill quickly during festivals and weekend events.
- Use the kitchen: Pick up breakfast supplies or local ingredients and enjoy a cozy meal with the Atlantic in view.
- Stay close to the action: Being just steps from the beach and within walking distance of the pier means more time enjoying Flagler, and less time driving around looking for parking.
