This week on North Port Now, we’re celebrating big milestones and looking ahead to what’s coming next in our growing community.

Then we dive into the holiday season with everything you need to know about the Poinsettia Parade & Festival on Dec. 6—from craft workshops and live entertainment to shuttle details and parade routes. Get real-time event updates and safety alerts by texting PARADE25 to 888-777.

We also share the latest on the Price Boulevard Widening Project, where the new double-barrel box culvert at the Blueridge Waterway is taking shape. Price remains closed between Main Street and Salford Boulevard during construction.
