🌴 What's Happening in Naples July 20 - 26

This one closes out July with a bang. Saturday is stacked: the Naples End of Summer Bash takes over Anthony Park while the LowBrow Block Party shuts down Tamiami Trail East for a full street bash. Les Miserables sets up midweek on 5th Avenue, there is live music running up and down Tamiami Trail from Thursday through Saturday, and Monday hands you a trivia-and-bingo trifecta from Marco to Estero. Add a Chamber networking night, a couple of free kids programs, retro games at the Depot, and a belly dance class if you are feeling brave. Here is everything worth getting off the couch for this week.
