We Are Better Together

Gulf Coast is excited to bring our annual Better Together Block Party to Venice. Join us on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 2:00–6:00 p.m. at West Blalock Park as we celebrate the positive impact we can have on our region when we work together.

We invite our partners, supporters, and community members to come together to connect, celebrate our shared impact, and enjoy an afternoon filled with music, activities, and fun. This free event is open to all ages.

The event will feature hands-on activities inspired by Gulf Coast’s focus areas—Arts & Culture, Education, the Environment, and Health & Human Services—along with live music and family-friendly experiences. Together, we’ll also celebrate Venice’s Centennial and Gulf Coast Community Foundation’s 30 years of service to our region. Food and drinks will be available for purchase from local food trucks.

Don't miss out on BT.26!

Registration is strongly encouraged
