Events

Christmas Walk, Cats, Carmen and Cars top off the weekend’s events here in Naples and Southwest Florida.
Stroll downtown Naples Friday and Saturday as it transforms into a winter wonderland. Watch them light the tree in Sugden Plaza and take advantage of the skating rink while enjoying all the lights. Sunday’s opening night of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, by the Naples Players, offers a mesmerizing take on the Jellicle Ball and its eccentric world. Featuring iconic choreography and enduring ballad “Memory,” the production delivers a fresh look at one of Broadway’s longest-running musicals.
On Sunday, Coconut Point Mall in Estero, hosts a full day of tropical holiday fun with food, arts and crafts, live entertainment, kids’ activities and a parade with more than 55 performances, all ending with the tree lighting and Santa selfies. And for some culture on Sunday, Gulfshore Opera presents Bizet’s Carmen, a passionate tale of love, jealousy, and obsession, featuring world-class vocalists and the Naples Philharmonic.
If you lean towards fast cars, don’t miss the Festival of Speed Sunday at Mercato Naples. It will showcase the world’s most exotic cars, motorcycles and luxury brands. Vintage and contemporary vehicles of all makes and models. Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Aston-Martin, Bentley, BMW, Mercedes, McLaren will all be onsite.
