Some Fun Summer Weekend Events In Southwest Florida

It's Christmas in July for many businesses and shopping centers. It's a the halfway point to the holiday and a time when the weather finally starts to cool down a bit. It's a great way to at least mentally escape the heat that July brings.

4th of July may be behind us. However, the patriotic theme gets carried over a little longer. One example can be found in a monthly car show in Naples. Find the details below.

Finally, if you have any upcoming events that you would like to share, please send them here. Here are your Weekend Vibes for July 19th through the 21st. Enjoy these 5 summer weekend events in Southwest Florida.

If you can, get out and support local events and businesses during this traditionally slow time of year. Especially local restaurants. It's nice not to need reservations for a change.

*Please note, events are subject to change. Especially considering the weather. It never hurts to confirm with a phone call or a quick check of social media and event websites.
