Cirque De Soleil Headlines Southwest Florida Weekend Events
The avant-garde circus brings their show "Corteo" to Hertz Arena in Estero for a four day run. It combines stunning acrobatics and visuals with moving music and artistry. If you have not seen a cirque show, it is quite a production. More information is below.
If the circus is not on your radar, there are other things to entertain you and the family. The Pineapple Fest is taking place in Punta Gorda at the Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens. There are baking contests, food, pineapple experts and more.
The sculpture gardens are one of those hidden treasures of Southwest Florida. This is a great way to explore them and have some family fun at the same time.
One of the best weekend activities I can think of is dining out. Restaurants are typically dreadfully slow this time of year. In addition, many have great incentives to get you through the door. Especially if you like early dining.
Finally, if you have any upcoming events that you would like to share, please send them here. Here are your Weekend Vibes for July 26th through 28. Enjoy these 5 summer weekend events in Southwest Florida.
