Hottest Business Day in Paradise is Coming

July 19, 2021

Save the date and put it on your calendar. Our 10th Annual Business Expo will be Aug. 11 at the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center located at 75 Taylor St., Punta Gorda.

The expo doors are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The first 500 attendees will receive a complimentary goodie bag and an Expo Passport to get signed by exhibitors to qualify for an entry to win a grand prize.

This would be a phenomenal opportunity to stroll through the expo hall and meet more than 90 local businesses throughout Charlotte County showcasing their products and services.  For our noon entertainment, the Peace River Wildlife Center will be on-hand with their two-legged and four-legged friends to present about their mission to contribute to the survival of native Florida wildlife through rescue, rehabilitation and education. Our 3 p.m. afternoon entertainment will be from Florida Dance Workshop. You will be dazzled by their dance routines that will bring high energy for all to enjoy.
