The Scavenger Hunt will give residents, visitors, families and friends an opportunity to uncover clues that will lead them around Downtown Fort Pierce. Participants will have a chance to check out local hot spots by tackling interactive challenges, puzzles, and riddles as a team. At each stop, hunters will interact with city employees who will cheer them on their quest. Registration for the Scavenger Hunt is free and can be done online with three time slots available: 4:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. for your convenience. Please visit: http://www.cityoffortpierce.com/816/Downtown-Scavenger-Hunt Teams will meet outside the double doors of Fort Pierce City Hall located at N. 100 US Highway 1, at the time slot that was selected upon registration. Costumes are not required, but in the spirit of the season, tasteful costumes are welcome. All stops are within walking distance of each other, so lace up those sneakers, park the car and get ready!

On October 23rd and 24th historical figures from Fort Pierce’s past will tell their stories all throughout the downtown area. This annual living history tour is a fun way to learn about the people that settled in this area before the conveniences of air conditioning, mosquito control, and modern transportation. Since there are so many interesting stories to tell, there are FOUR different Ghosts of Fort Pierce Past walking tours. Each tour is approximately 1 hour in length, has between 8-10 stops, and waiting at each stop is an actor portraying a person that has lived here in the past. NEW THIS YEAR - Many of our 2019 actors are descendants of the characters they will portray.
