Find fright and delight at Fort Myers’ Calusa Nature Center with the annual Haunted Walk, which starts up again this weekend. Take a spooky tour along the center’s trails where scares lurk around each darkened corner. Parents, be warned, some this may be too scary for younger kids.

The momentous exhibit marks the artists’ half-century of preserving local lore and history through plein air paintings and tile mosaics.

Back for its eighth year, this weekend festival highlights local German food vendors and house-brewed, German-style beers like the Märzen, DTF Festbier and Miami Vice Weissbier.
