The Fort Myers Seafood Festival is an annual event. We went last year and went Saturday afternoon this year (it is a 3-day festival). The food is great, but overpriced. The music is terrific and free. We go for the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of our favorite groups – Memphis Lightning<\/a> and Deb and the Dynamics<\/a> – played back-to-back on Saturday. We danced, of course, and kept warm by keeping active (the high temp was about 65 degrees). The venue was the Caloosahatchee Sound Amphitheater<\/a> which is on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers. A beautiful venue and we were treated to a beautiful sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
