Looking for things to do around Southwest Florida this November? Save this list. 🌴✨
November is when Southwest Florida really starts coming alive for the season.
From Fort Myers Beach to Naples, the calendar is filling up with local festivals, live music, food events, art shows, car shows and holiday celebrations. There’s the American Sand Sculpting Championship, Florida International Air Show, Florida Panther Festival, Fort Myers Boat Show, Taste of Mercato, Night Lights in the Garden and plenty more happening throughout the month.
A little music. A little local flavor. Plenty of outdoor events. And the start of the holiday season, all without the winter weather. ☀️
One of the best parts of this time of year is having so much to explore throughout Southwest Florida. You can spend one weekend browsing a local market, the next enjoying a festival by the water, and another taking in the holiday lights.
There’s always something new to discover, whether you’re in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers.
Event details may change. Please confirm dates, times, tickets and availability directly with each event organizer.
