When is Mother's Day 2026?
When it's time to let the moms and maternal figures in your life know how much they’re appreciated, treat them to a long Mother's Day weekend in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach for a wide array of fun activities and events, scrumptious meals, and quality time together.
Here's a taste of what typically pops up around Mother's Day to help you start planning:
Mother’s Day Brunch
The following restaurants have been known to offer Mother's Day Brunches and often, weekend-long specials, so keep an eye on them.
Reservations are usually required so please contact the individual restaurants for details:
Ken & Barb's Grove City Kitchen
K's Family Pizzeria and Restaurant
Spinnaker Bar and Patio Dining (at the Four Points by Sheraton Punta Gorda Harborside)
Sunseeker Resort Florida Gulf Coast, Curio by Hilton
It's also great to just enjoy a drink and a nice conversation in a beautiful setting. You'll find the perfect atmosphere for a wind-down at unWined Wine & Beer Bar, Punta Gorda Chocolate & Wine, Downtown Kava, or Perch 360 atop the Wyvern Hotel.
Adventures Mom Will Love
As events are planned and confirmed, we'll update this space. In the meantime, here's a taste of what Mother's Day has looked like in past years:
Founders Square at Babcock Ranch has hosted a Mother's Day Delight market, where mom could browse and choose her own gift from a variety of unique vendors in a beautiful outdoor setting. The Yoga Sanctuary and Loving Light Yoga have each offered special Mother's Day wellness events. And Laishley Park in Punta Gorda has been home to a Mother's Day Arts and Crafts Fair.
Anytime Fun
If mom or anyone else in the party is a pickleball player, they’ll be very happy with the options in the area, from our crown jewel, the Pickleplex® of Punta Gorda, to easy drop-in courts from one end of our area to the other. Or, if someone wants to golf, they’ll find over 15 beautiful courses to enjoy.
Beach time is always great, no matter if you’re lazing in the sun, swimming, or collecting shells and fossilized shark teeth. Bonus: there are great restaurants within walking distance of Englewood Beach, our main sand-and-surf spot.
Theater & Entertainment
Nothing beats the energy of a live stage performance!
Comedian Maryellen Hooper returns to Visani Italian Steakhouse and Comedy Theater for a special Mother's Day Show. The Grill at 1951 has been known to present a special Mother's Day lunch with live music, so it's worth keeping an eye on their calendar too.
You'll also find live music at many of our restaurants throughout the weekend, so keep an eye out for special events as Mother's Day approaches.
However you celebrate, we think mom is going to love it here.
