Palm Coast Citizens Academy alumni ambassadors announce free community expo

PALM COAST, Fla. — The Palm Coast Citizens Academy Alumni Ambassadors will host the Connecting to Palm Coast Expo on Sept. 17, 2026. The free community event will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Flagler County Nexus Center in Bunnell.

The upcoming expo marks the first time the event will be held at the Nexus Center as part of a new initiative to improve accessibility for residents throughout Flagler County. Organizers intend to rotate the expo annually between the Nexus Center and the Palm Coast Community Center to serve residents on both the north and south sides of the community.

The Flagler County Nexus Center, located at 2199 Commerce Parkway, offers expanded parking and convenient access for attendees.

Attendees can meet representatives from various city departments, social services, civic organizations, and nonprofit groups. The event is designed for residents who are new to the area, those who have recently relocated, or individuals seeking to become more involved in community activities.

Brittany Kershaw, director of communications and marketing for the City of Palm Coast, said the event focuses on resident engagement. “The Connecting to Palm Coast Expo is all about helping residents feel informed, connected, and engaged in their community,” Kershaw said. “By rotating locations throughout the year, we hope to make it even easier for residents across Palm Coast and Flagler County to access important resources and information.”

Participation for organizations is limited to government agencies, civic groups, social services, and nonprofit organizations. All vendor spaces for the September expo are already filled.

Additional event details and a list of participating organizations will be announced closer to the expo date.
