Friends and neighbors,
Ready to dance back to the ’90s, channel your inner artist, or enjoy string quartet renditions of Adele by candlelight? Step into a vibrant September. There’s something meaningful on the calendar for everyone this week.
I’ll remind you that the Naples Philharmonic’s free concerts are still occurring through September 11th, and Disney on Ice is lighting up Hertz Arena now through Sunday.
I’m also excited to share that tickets go on sale tomorrow for the Nash to Naples January Songwriters Fest—a special evening that raises money for veterans and children’s charities.
Read on to make the most of your week!
See you around,
