Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center

75 Taylor Street

Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Located on the Charlotte Harbor waterfront in historic downtown Punta Gorda, the venue is approximately 25 miles from Fort Myers, FL, making it an easy drive for regional visitors.

• Parking: On-site parking is available for most events; check your event details for any specifics on availability.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are available at the venue entrance for convenient arrival and departure.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time, especially for larger expos or concerts. Early arrival makes parking, check-in, and wayfinding relaxed, and gives you time to explore the facility’s lobby and event halls before the crowd builds.

While the venue is primarily indoors, its waterfront location can bring breezy conditions if your event includes any outdoor components. Consider a light layer for evening events and expect comfortable, flat walkways with minimal elevation changes — ideal for all mobility levels.

If you’re arriving by rideshare, set your dropoff for the main entrance to streamline entry. Drivers coming from Fort Myers or other nearby areas should allow extra time during peak hours or before major public events, as downtown streets can get busy close to showtime.

Venue Navigation

The center features a mix of exhibit halls, meeting rooms, and ballrooms — all designed for flexible configurations. Event signage and staff support help you find the correct hall or room quickly, while lobbies and pre-function areas provide space to gather before sessions or shows.

You’ll find concessions available at some public events, along with restrooms positioned near main corridors and gathering spaces. Merchandise stands may be set up for select concerts or expos. If you’re attending a trade show or multi-session conference, expect some walking; comfortable footwear is a smart choice when exploring exhibit halls or moving between rooms.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check event-specific guidelines for current bag and security policies.
• Prohibited Items: Restrictions vary by event — review the official event details before you arrive.
• Re-entry Policy: Varies by event.
• Service Animals: Permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early for easier parking and unhurried entry.
• If your event includes outdoor elements, expect waterfront breezes and plan layers accordingly.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving a bit early to enjoy the scenic Charlotte Harbor waterfront. Pre- or post-event, take a short stroll along nearby parks and walkways for sunset views — a perfect complement to an evening concert or special event.

If you’re attending a conference or expo, coordinate a meeting point in the lobby or just inside your exhibit hall to keep your group connected. With multiple rooms and halls in use, shared calendar invites and text updates help everyone stay on schedule.

For full-day events, plan breaks to recharge. Concession offerings are available during some public events, and with downtown Punta Gorda eateries close by, you’ll have plenty of options to step out for a quick meal between sessions.

Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center is ADA-accessible, with on-site ADA parking, accessible seating arrangements available upon request, and ADA-compliant elevators and ramps to support smooth navigation throughout the facility. Flat, wide walkways and thoughtful design make the venue user-friendly for guests with mobility considerations.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
