ALL WEEKEND
Known for its regular blowout block parties, Downtown Fort Myers transforms once again for a weekend of live music, local bites and waterfront views at Fort Myers River Fest, held from March 21 to 23. Fresh seafood dominates the menu—though there are plenty of options for the ocean fare averse—and musical acts include regional favorites like the bluesy Deb & The Dynamics, as well as out-of-town talent. While you’re there, pop around to some local vendor stalls for a taste of what Fort Myers makers have to offer.
