Looking for some entertainment in Southwest Florida?
Here are five fun things to do this weekend and beyond, including the touring “Voices and Votes” exhibit in Cape Coral and Fort Myers Beach’s Revive the Vibe Fest.
Plus we look at what’s ahead in the coming weeks: Vintage Market Days at Lee Civic Center, the 10th-annual Island Hopper Songwriter Fest and more.
1. ‘Voices and Votes: Democracy in America’ exhibit in Cape Coral
The touring exhibit comes to one of Cape Coral’s biggest polling places, the Cape Coral-Lee County Public Library. The show explores the nearly 250-year-old history of American democracy. It features historical and contemporary photos and video, campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia and protest material, plus local history and artifacts provided by various Lee County groups. The Museum on Main Street show is based on an exhibit from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. It opens with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 13, and continues through Nov. 8. Free.
