This no-cost, family-friendly gathering will excite local soccer enthusiasts as they savor flavorful BBQ, explore a refreshing beer garden, and purchase new team merchandise.

3rd Annual 9/11 Naples Memorial Stair Climb
As the sun rises on Sunday, September 8th, 2024, the community unites for a poignant tribute: the 3rd Annual 9/11 Naples Memorial Stair Climb. This tribute honors those who died on September 11, 2001. It starts at 7 AM, with an opening ceremony at 8 AM. At 8:46 AM – when the first plane hit the World Trade Center – participants begin climbing. Participants attempt to climb as many of the 110 stories as possible, emulating the brave first responders, and those who register early may receive a commemorative coin. The $50 entry fee helps the Brotherhood Ride group, which supports families of fallen first responders.
Downtown Fort Myers Artwalk
Prepare to immerse yourself in creativity on Friday, September 6th, 2024, as art aficionados gather for a visual feast. The monthly Downtown Fort Myers Artwalk happens from 6-10 PM, turning city streets into an expansive outdoor exhibition. This no-cost showcase highlights our flourishing local art scene, featuring both established and emerging artists, with a unique twist this month. What’s special this month? Creators from the SWFL Council for the Blind will have their own exhibit, giving a new view on visual art. You can smell fragrant flowers at a flower bar, get your hair done, or drink tea from a moving trolley. Prepare to be captivated by mesmerizing illusions and sleight of hand performances. With live music playing, you can really enjoy this creative world.
