Trick or Treat at City Center

All applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis based on event needs. Completion of this application does not guarantee acceptance into the event. The City reserves the right to select the categories/type of vendor to be sold to minimize duplication and will determine needs based on anticipated attendance, duration of event and previous demand.

You will be contacted by one of our Parks & Recreation staff members within 72-business hours after receiving your application. If you have any questions about the application process, please call 941-429-PARK (7275).

Help spread kindness this season with Cans for Candy!

City of North Port staff volunteers will be on hand to collect canned goods in support of a community-wide food drive. In return for your donation, you’ll receive a sweet treat, because giving back deserves a little reward!

All canned goods collected will directly benefit a local food pantry, helping to stock shelves and bring comfort to families in need right here in our community.

How it works:

• Bring a canned good donation.
• Receive a piece of candy as a thank-you.
• Make a difference in someone's life.

Together, we can make this season brighter for everyone. Thank you for giving generously!
