Weekend Vibes, What’s Happening In Southwest Florida Feb 10-12

Here are your Weekend Vibes, what’s happening in Southwest Florida Feb 10-12. It's the precursor to Valentines Day. In addition, it's the biggest football weekend of the year for those who love pro sports. The "Big Game" is Sunday. If you are not that into football, this might be the perfect time to attend festivals and events where there are typically big crowds. Attendees are likely to leave early to make their football parties.

It's not all about football and romance, this weekend. If you love motorcycles, it's Bike Night in Cape Coral. If you love art there is a festival in Bonita Springs. You'll find another Bonita event for seafood lovers. It's also a big weekend for Edison Festival of Light devotees.  As festivities ramp up for the big finale, it's time for the kids to shine.
