By Gina Birch

Starbucks may’ve released their fall menu full of pumpkin spice and apple crisp items this week, but we are still in the so-called dog days of summer in Southwest Florida. Here are 5 things to do in Lee County this weekend.

While kids are settling into the classroom for the new school year, there are still places where you can feed them for free. Details here.

The Florida Python Challenge officially wrapped up for another year and some giant snakes were wrangled up. You can still hunt them this weekend, you just wont get any prize money.

Happening In Lee County This Weekend

This time of year is hit or miss for many local farmer’s markets and for many reasons. It’s too hot for some produce as well as people. In addition, less people are in town so setting up tents on the weekend is not as appealing to vendors. But the Saturday market in Cape Coral is thriving. Details below.

There are a couple of events for music lovers. One is also a fundraiser for veterans. The other features some of your favorite, iconic Broadway tunes.

Finally, if you have any upcoming events that you would like to share, please send them here. Here are your Weekend Vibes for August 23rd through the 25th. 5 things to do in Lee County this weekend.
