Naples has a full slate lined up Friday through Sunday, September 25 through 27, and a lot of it won’t cost you anything. Friday at 7 p.m., the Naples Philharmonic performs chamber music at Artis—Naples with free admission, though reserved tickets are required, so plan ahead. Saturday morning, Vineyards Community Park hosts a yard sale from 8 a.m. to noon with free entry, while Naples Botanical Garden runs its W.O.N.D.E.R. family programs alongside a Florida-Puerto Rico exhibition on view through October 25.
Saturday night belongs to soccer. FC Naples hosts Chattanooga Red Wolves SC at 7 p.m. at Paradise Coast Sports Complex, a lively and affordable option for families looking for something beyond the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine. Sunday offers a quieter pace with garden tours, a stroll through downtown Naples, and one final shot at the weekend’s dining specials.
That brings us to Sizzle Dining Month, which ends September 30. This is the last weekend to take advantage of participating restaurants’ prix-fixe menus, and every meal sold donates one dollar to Blessings in a Backpack SWFL, which provides food for local elementary students. Organizers remind everyone that event times and details can change, so it’s worth a quick call or check online before heading out. Which of these is making your weekend list?
