2026 Pole Vault in the Plaza

Join us on April 11 for the 5th Annual Pole Vault in the Plaza, a FREE community event in the heart of beautiful Naples, Florida. Watch talented pole vaulters soar to incredible heights in an exciting outdoor competition that brings together athletes, families, and sports fans of all ages.

This high‑energy event not only showcases one of track and field’s most thrilling sports—it also supports a meaningful cause. All proceeds benefit St. Matthew’s House, helping fund vital programs that address hunger, homelessness, housing, and addiction recovery in our community.

What began as a way to introduce Naples to the excitement of pole vaulting has grown into a beloved annual tradition. Five years later, Pole Vault in the Plaza has become a can’t‑miss celebration that brings joy to athletes and spectators alike while strengthening the Naples community.

Your participation helps us continue making Naples an even brighter, more supportive place for everyone. Come enjoy an unforgettable day of athleticism, entertainment, and community impact.
