By Gina Birch

We made it through another work week. Time to put your feet up, or put on your dancing shoes, and have some fun in Lee, Charlotte and Collier Counties. Enjoy a music fest, vintage market and more this weekend in SWFL. Here are your Weekend Vibes for September 15-17. We’ve put together quite a diverse list of local events, including some that are good for the entire family to experience together.

If you like music and food, this weekend has your name written all over it. Not only is it time for the monthly Music Walk in downtown Fort Myers, there is a new music festival. This one celebrates the many genres within the Latin Music category. In addition, there is a celebration of Latin culture at the Lee County Alliance for the Arts. You’ll find more on both of these below. And yes. They both have lots of food as well as music.
