City of Sanford Events

The City of Sanford keeps the main calendar for its historic downtown and riverfront, so this is where you find the monthly Alive After 5 street party, the holiday Christmas parade and Parade of Lights, craft beer festivals, and events in Magnolia Square and Fort Mellon Park. Many listings are free and walkable from First Street.
