Friends and neighbors,
Naples is abuzz once more, and my job becomes more difficult since there are so many events to choose from! Artis—Naples is leading the charge this week with a high-energy tribute to Elvis and a program of orchestral favorites next week that’ll have you recognizing every tune.
For those craving glamour, Casino Royale at the Inn on Fifth promises a night of tuxes, tables, and good fun for a great cause. And come Sunday, Cambier Park turns patriotic with a free Veterans Day concert.
Next weekend, Naples hosts the USA Today Food & Wine Experience, so if you plan on attending, grab tickets now. Thank you for being here and supporting all that makes Naples special!
See you out there,

Poll Results: Live theater?

This Week’s Poll:
I’m sure there'll be plenty more galas and “events of the season” so I want to ask our readers: When’s the last time you dressed up for a black-tie event?
Why It Matters
Showing up is how we keep Naples vibrant. When you buy a ticket, clap in the park, or bring a friend to a local fundraiser, you fund the stages, musicians, veterans’ programs, and small businesses that make this place feel like home.
That’s culture compounding—one night out at a time.
See you around town,
