Fairs, Festivals and Block Parties
Every year Cape Coral hosts a variety of fairs, festivals and block parties. One of
which is Red, White and Boom – a traditional event held on the Fourth of July.
Families and friends come together to celebrate this day of independence by
watching performances of local and national music acts, enjoying delicious food
and beverages, and, of course, gazing at the incredible fireworks show at the end
of the night. The event shuts down traffic to-and-from the Cape Coral Bridge and
makes room for the biggest fireworks show in Southwest Florida.
Cape Coral welcomes people from all walks of life. In fact, residents often gather
together to celebrate the diversity of different cultures within the city itself. In May,
residents pay tribute to the Mexican culture by coming together for a Cinco de Mayo
party downtown. Residents and visitors can sing along with traditional mariachi
bands, dance with folkloric dancers, or sample different Mexican dishes.
For the past 25 years the German American Social Club has brought Munich to Cape
Coral. The six-day long event is full of singing, dancing, laughter, delicious food and
beverages, games and entertainment. Oktoberfest is fun for the entire family and a
genuine tribute to the German culture.
If parties aren’t your thing, take a stroll through the streets at the
annual Festival of the Arts. Each January artists and craftsmen
line the streets of downtown Cape Coral showcasing their latest
creations. Typically more than 100,000 people attend the festival,
proving the popularity and success of the event. Everything from
paintings and sculptures to jewelry and clothes are available for
purchase. Enjoy the great art, weather, and food!
Why not spend a day exploring the weekly Farmer’s Market?
Every Saturday, October through May, Cape Coral welcomes more
than 100 vendors from across the state to share their latest
harvest with the residents of the city. Whether indulging in a
delectable baked good or cutting into a freshly-caught grouper
right out of the Gulf, you are guaranteed some of the freshest
food in Southwest Florida. Held in Club Square, the market also
boasts the eclectic sounds of local musicians, crafts, and
specially-made, hand-crafted jewelry. The Surfside Farmers'
Market offers a year-round indoor shopping experience to Cape
Coral, from May to November.
Perhaps one of the most anticipated events in the Cape is the annual Boat Parade. It’s
Christmas done Florida style! Each December, a procession of about 100 boats decorated
in a festive holiday fashion with lights, costumes, music – and whatever else their
captains can think of – sail along the canals of Cape Coral. People gather on the banks of
the water to enjoy the parade and keep an eye out for Santa. Four Freedoms Park also
provides an ideal setting to watch the illuminated vessels. The park features live holiday
music, decorated trees, Christmas crafts, food and beverages. Whether you’re in the
parade or just watching, you’re sure to have a blast.
Are you a motorcyclist enthusiast? Then you won’t want to miss Cape Coral’s Bike Night! Complete with live bands,
food, drink and an amazing collection of bikes and great people, you’re sure to enjoy this popular street festival. Check out
