Summer in Naples: Sun, Soul & Sips by the Sea

When summer rolls into Naples, it brings more than sunshine—it brings culture, connection, and a calendar packed with things to do, see, and savor. Whether you're staying local or showing clients what Florida living really looks like, this season is bursting with experiences worth sharing.

Spotlight on the Arts

This July, catch the gripping production of Sweeney Todd at The Naples Players, or bring the kids (or grandkids) to Matilda Jr. at Gulfshore Playhouse from July 25–27. For a more relaxed evening, don’t miss Art After Hours at The Baker Museum, where contemporary masterpieces meet casual elegance.

Live Music & Nightlife

Live performances heat up at Artis—Naples, including Shades of Bublé on July 24, a Bob Dylan Tribute on August 7, and the powerhouse vocals of Diva Soul August 19. Mercato is also the place to be with nightly live music at 9110 Strada Place and the Mercato Nights Music Series kicking off August 7. Feeling bold? Try Open Mic Mondays at Giuseppe & the Lion or belt it out during Wednesday Karaoke at Rooftop in Bonita Springs.

Outdoor Fun Under the Sun

Start your Sunday with beach yoga at Vanderbilt Beach—perfect for stretching and resetting your week. On Saturdays, stroll the Third Street South Farmers Market for local produce, baked goods, and artisan treasures. And don’t miss the Adopt-a-Sea-Turtle Nest Party on July 31 at Ankrolab Brewing Company—it's a fun evening for a great cause supporting Rookery Bay’s conservation work.

Explore by Sea

Naples is at its best from the water. Sunset and day cruises leave daily from Tin City, perfect for dolphin sightings and golden hour views. Want something wilder? Explore the Ten Thousand Islands on a Manatee & Wildlife Boat Tour for an unforgettable look at Florida’s untamed beauty.

Culture & Curiosity

Beat the heat and stay inspired with indoor adventures. Visit The Baker Museum for modern art, roam the Naples Botanical Garden’s lush landscapes, or enjoy daily animal encounters at Naples Zoo. For something unique, the Revs Institute offers a deep dive into vintage auto innovation and design.

Local Culinary Spotlight: Bicyclette Cookshop

Located at 819 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Bicyclette Cookshop has quickly become a culinary hotspot since opening in late 2023. With standout dishes like zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and nduja, it was named one of USA Today’s 2025 Restaurants of the Year. Perfect for post-yoga brunch or a stylish dinner.
