Weekend Vibes, What’s Happening In Southwest Florida Jan 13

Here are your Here are your Weekend Vibes, what's happening in Southwest Florida Jan 13-15. It's another beautiful weekend in the 239 and we are not short of things to do outdoors.

The biggest art show in Southwest Florida this season's in Cape Coral along Del Prado Blvd

It is art show season. Pick a community this month and there is not a weekend where there isn't an art show in one of them. Perhaps the biggest of the year takes place this Saturday and Sunday in Cape Coral. Police actually shut down Cape Coral Parkway starting at Del Prado, quite a feat. It's done to accommodate the hundreds of artists and tens of thousands of people who show up for the annual Cape Coral Art Festival and Marketplace.

When it comes to music, art shows may be more of a jazz theme. However, if you’re more into rock and roll, there is a really fun cover band event taking place at The Alliance of the Arts in Fort Myers. You’ll find all the details below. Something for everyone. Finally, for you sports fans, Spring Training tickets are on sale. You will be able to purchase them at the box offices of the Twins and Red Sox stadiums this weekend, as well as online.

We understand that just because it is a new year does not mean some of the old challenges disappear. Many businesses in Southwest Florida are still closed and many people still without a place to live due to Hurricane Ian. However, more and more are opening. More residents are finding relief as well. If you feel like getting out and about, we have a few ideas here. Finally, if you are still not feeling so great mentally, and need some support, here are some resources for you.

The Naples Art Crafter's show takes place this Saturday in Cambier Park. It's downtown, just one block south of Fifth Avenue South. This event features the works of all local artists and we have a lot of talent in Southwest Florida. It's a free show and so is the parking. Bonus. Show runs 10-4 Saturday.
