🌴 What's Happening in Naples: June 8 - 14
Weekly arts & music schedule
The whole week leans toward the weekend. Sunday is the big one in town: the Naples Pride Pool Party at the Inn of Naples pulls the biggest interested list of the week by a mile, and the F1 Canadian Grand Prix watch parties roll out across town the same afternoon. Saturday is right behind it, with the God Girl Walk filling North Collier Regional Park at sunrise and the Island Vibes Party taking over Bayshore in the afternoon. The World Cup tune-up matches bring soccer crowds to Felipe's and the Gulf Shore patios midweek, Warren pours its World's Best Bourbon flight on Wednesday, and the 4805 Tamiami patio runs live music four nights straight. Summer camps kick off Monday at the Naples Art Institute, the beach berm project is wrapping up just as sea turtle nests hit a record high on Keewaydin, and hurricane season is officially on. Here is what is worth getting off the couch for.
We recommend confirming with event hosts for complete details and current schedules.

The Last Time Stocks Were This Expensive Was December 1999.
"Right now, it's good. But it was in '72, '86, 2000, and 2007." - Jamie Dimon, May 2026.
The Shiller CAPE ratio just hit 42.3. The only time in 140 years it's been higher? December 1999.
Stocks can stay expensive for a long time...
It’s one metric to consider, but when your portfolio is built around the most expensive equities in modern history, what else you diversify with could really matter.
Blue-chip contemporary and post war art has shown near-zero correlation with the S&P since 1995.* Prices are largely driven by private collectors competing for a fixed supply of artwork by artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
Masterworks lets you invest in shares of that market.
$1.3B deployed across 500+ artworks
29 exits to date
Net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, not including those unsold

📰 What's Happening in Naples
🔗 Collier Sea Turtle Nests Hit a Record High as Hatching Begins
Collier beaches are sitting at 1,926 nests, up from 1,606 this time last year, with Keewaydin Island alone holding nearly 500. Vanderbilt Beach even logged a rare leatherback nest. The first hatchlings start emerging this month, so the rule stands all summer: lights off the sand by 9 PM and beach furniture cleared by 9:30.
🔗 Emergency Beach Berm Project Wraps as Hurricane Season Opens
Crews rebuilding the dune berm along Naples, Barefoot, Vanderbilt, Pelican Bay, and South Marco beaches aimed to finish by early June, lining up with the official June 1 start of hurricane season. The county worked the timing around nesting turtles, so expect some roped-off stretches as the last sand is pushed into place.
🔗 Naples Business Owner Fined $100K in County Permit Fraud Scheme
A Naples business owner agreed to a six-figure fine for his role in a scheme that submitted hundreds of plans to Collier, Naples, and Marco Island using an engineer's seal without permission. A tip from a resident triggered an investigation pulling in local, state, and federal agencies, including the FBI.
🔗 Hurricane-Damaged Naples Pier Finds New Life as an Underwater Reef
Pieces of the old storm-wrecked pier are being sunk offshore to seed an artificial reef, turning a loss into new habitat for fish and a future dive spot. The new pier itself keeps moving toward its 2027 reopening on higher pilings.
🔗 Imperial Lakes Development Clears Collier Commissioners in North Naples
A planned community first approved back in 1982 finally moved forward, with commissioners signing off on amendments tied to the Veterans Memorial Boulevard expansion west of Livingston Road. The developer can now mix single-family, two-family, and multifamily homes, or still build the original 430 units in five-story buildings.
🔗 Marco Island Weighs Replacing Its Police With the Collier Sheriff
Marco's City Council is exploring whether to hand law enforcement to the Collier County Sheriff's Office as cities across Florida brace for revenue losses from a potential property tax cut. No decision yet, but the conversation alone is a big one for the island.
🔗 Tiny Kitchen Brings Argentinian Street Food Off Fifth Avenue
A 680-square-foot spot at 524 Park Street is opening with empanadas, choripan, and the rest of the Argentinian street-food lineup, steps from Fifth Avenue South. Small space, big flavors, the kind of place that becomes a regular fast.
🔗 Avenue 31 Approved for Fifth Avenue South
A three-story mixed-use building with a new restaurant and condos got the green light for 472 Fifth Avenue South, slotting in between Del Mar and Osteria Tulia from restaurateur Stefano Frittella. It is one more sign Fifth Avenue keeps building up rather than out.
🔗 Olde Naples Hotel Opens Off Third Street South
The 109-room boutique hotel from the Opal Collection has opened on the corner of Third Street South, with Annie's Bistro, Bar & Bakery already serving. The historic property pairs legacy touches with a rooftop pool, spa, and retail as the full launch rolls out this summer.
🔗 Costco's East Naples Warehouse Targets a Fall Opening
Costco's second Collier warehouse is rising on 25 acres at Rattlesnake Hammock Road and Collier Boulevard. The 162,671-square-foot store includes a 24-pump gas station and a liquor store, with an early-fall opening in play.
🔗 Collier Schools Offer Free Summer Meals for Kids 18 and Under
The district's summer meal program is running again, with free breakfast and lunch for anyone 18 and younger at sites around the county. No paperwork, no income check, just show up during serving hours.
🔗 Naples Home Sales Keep Climbing as Inventory Loosens
NABOR's latest report shows closed sales up double digits year over year and showings per listing rising, while homes above $3 million still leave real room to negotiate. The market keeps grinding higher even as buyers gain a little leverage at the top.
