Visit NSB Area Launches “250 Days & Ways” Campaign Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary

The New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau has launched “250 Days & Ways to Enjoy the New Smyrna Beach Area”,  a 250-day celebration highlighting the people, places, and stories that make this coastal destination shine.

Inspired by the nationwide America 250 commemoration, the campaign spotlights the rich culture, history, and natural beauty that define the New Smyrna Beach Area—one of Florida’s oldest towns, where the past and present meet along the shoreline.

Designed to showcase the region’s charm and diversity, “250 Days & Ways” highlights 250 unique experiences across the area, from outdoor adventures and culinary discoveries to art, heritage, and community connections. Each itinerary offers new ways to explore the destination’s five distinct communities—New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, Edgewater, Oak Hill, and Osteen—inviting travelers and residents to uncover hidden gems and revisit local favorites.

“This campaign celebrates who we are as a community—past, present, and future,” said Debbie Meihls, President & CEO of the New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau. “It invites travelers and residents to experience the stories, flavors, and places that make the New Smyrna Beach Area so special, and to rediscover them in new ways throughout the year.”

As the campaign unfolds, visitors will find both signature events and everyday adventures among the 250 featured experiences. From street festivals, art walks, and live-music nights to scenic trails, parks, and nature tours, there’s something for every traveler. Guests can explore the Marine Discovery Center’s boat tours, walk or bike along the Dale Avenue Sun Trail, or spend a day soaking up the sun on New Smyrna Beach’s iconic shoreline.

The itineraries also highlight the area’s museums and historic landmarks, such as the Cruger-dePeyster Plantation Sugar Mill Ruins, as well as boutique shopping districts, local art galleries, and waterfront dining spots that reflect the area’s laid-back charm. Whether enjoying a fresh-catch dinner with sunset views, browsing coastal shops, or discovering outdoor escapes like Reckless Ranch and Spruce Creek Park, visitors can experience the destination’s balance of relaxation, creativity, and natural beauty.

As new itineraries are released each month, travelers are encouraged to follow along and discover more ways to celebrate the spirit of the New Smyrna Beach Area—a timeless coastal community rooted in history and ready for what’s next.
