Today
🐚 Beach And Estuary Walk @ Lovers Key State Park | Friday (9/5) at 9:00am – Wade into a ranger-led stroll over the estuary and along the shoreline to meet the park’s tiniest locals—seashells, crabs, and starfish included. You’ll learn how to spot coastal critters and the stories the tides leave behind. Pro tip: wear water shoes and pack sunscreen—you’ll likely get your feet wet.
👭 Friendship Group for Girls @ BEEing Social | Friday (9/5) at 3:30pm – This workshop is teaching your 3rd to 5th grader how to dodge playground drama like a pro. They’ll master communication, leadership through problem solving, and peer-pressure resistance, so you can finally hear a break from ‘But everyone else is doing it.’
This weekend
✋ Bully Prevention Event @ The Grounds MMA Academy | Saturday (9/6) at 10:00am – Think your kid’s tougher than the neighborhood squirrels? Swing by The Grounds MMA Academy this Saturday for a free, no-nonsense bully prevention workshop packed with confidence-boosting drills, hands-on self-defense tips, and a few laughs with the coaches, so RSVP before we hit capacity.
👵 Grandparents Day @ Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park | Saturday (9/6) at 10:30am – Nothing says quality family time like squinting over Sorry and battling it out in Uno at the community center. All materials are provided, so bring your grandkid (or grandparent) for puzzles, card games, and light refreshments. No screens, just old-school fun, stories, and belly laughs.
🎸 School of Rock Fort Myers x Side Show Bob @ Sugarshack Downtown | Saturday (9/6) at 1:00pm – School of Rock Fort Myers and Side Show Bob are crashing Sugarshack Downtown for a family fun day with Bob Tabarrini’s signature grooves, local rockers, and a fundraising drive for the Tabarrini Foundation. Expect catchy riffs, laid-back vibes, and honest attempts at crowd karaoke.
🏃 EVRR Monthly Handicap Race @ Lee Health Coconut Point | Sunday (9/7) at 7:00am – Who’s up for a friendly 5K in a T-shirt collection contest? Slip into your favorite band tee for our monthly handicap race, where you sprint against your own predicted time, not Bob from accounting. Stick around for a tailgate potluck and bonus points for newbies.
🏎️ Formula 1 Watch Party @ The Courtyard Bar at Ridgway | Sunday (9/7) at 9:00am – Whether you’ve been glued to F1 since Senna’s heyday or you only learned what DRS stands for last week, Ridgway’s Courtyard Bar is the spot. All races and Saturday qualifiers air, engines roar on-screen, drinks flow, and everyone’s suddenly qualified to fix a pit stop.
🔔 Sound Bath with Natalie of Harmonic Alignment @ Love Yoga Center | Sunday (9/7) at 4:30pm – Bliss out with Natalie’s Sound Bath, where seven crystal bowls, a Native American flute, and drumming coax your shoulders down from around your ears. Thirty-five bucks buys more zen than your overpriced latte, though it fills up faster than summer patios.
Next week
🖼️ Rookery Bay Art Gallery Exhibit @ Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center | Tuesday (9/9) at 9:00am – If indoor excitement to you means more than reruns, swing by Rookery Bay gallery for a nature-inspired art fix. Collective 5’s mixed-media showcase from Curreri, Nesdale, Futteman, Keigley, and Lloren pairs pond lilies with paint splatters, cultural nods, and zero plastic flamingos.
👧 Girl Scouts Information and Troop Building Night @ Palmetto Elementary School | Tuesday (9/9) at 6:15pm – If your kiddo is more mud pies than macaroni art, or already like Bear Grylls, bring her to the Girl Scouts info night. Discover where she can earn badges, roast s’mores, help the community, and make friends who use sunscreen.
