By Gina Birch

Here are your Weekend Vibes, what’s happening in Southwest Florida March 17-19. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and weekend which means lots of green and lots of parties. If you are throwing one and need some DIY décor ideas, here are a few that might work. In the meantime, we have a few of the dozens of St Paddy’s Day events taking place across Southwest Florida listed below.

Spring Training games offer lots of opportunities to get up close and personal with the players. Plus, they are just a lot of fun.

Also this weekend in Southwest Florida

Baseball Spring Training games continue. There are three teams in Lee and Charlotte Counties. In Fort Myers you can see the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins. In Port Charlotte it is the Tampa Bay Rays. Buy your tickets now through the links that are included above. The games run through the end of the month. March 30th is the opening day of the regular, major league baseball season.

Finally, there is still a lot of hurricane recovery under way. Many businesses in Southwest Florida are still closed and many people still without a place to live. However, more places are opening and more residents are finding relief. If you feel like getting out and about, we have a few ideas here. But then again, if you are not feeling so great mentally, that’s OK too. We want to offer some resources that might help. Click here to find a few.
