HAMILTON

What’s to say about Hamilton that hasn’t been said already? This hit musical from genius composer, actor, producer, playwright Lin Manuel Miranda (Moana, Mary Poppins Returns), has smashed every record it can, completely changing the face of musical theatre forever. Combining the incredible story of the American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton with powerful hip hop beats and narratives, Hamilton sells out every performance everywhere it goes. Fort Myers is the next stop for this already legendary touring show, playing at the Barbara B Mann Theater from January 17 to the 26, so make sure to check out this Broadway Darling while you have the opportunity!

EDISON FESTIVAL OF LIGHT

Thomas Alva Edison is universally praised as America's greatest inventor. While he hailed from New England, for many years he spent his winters here in Fort Myers! We celebrate the connection to this great and prolific inventor every year with the Edison Festival in February. Festival highlights include the Grand Parade, a Junior Parade, arts and crafts, a 5K run and a Junior Fun Run, food trucks, craft beer and many more entertaining events for the whole family. Of course there will be dazzling lights brilliantly illuminating our beloved city and the many floats along the parade routes. This annual celebration of Thomas Edison is the largest and longest-running festival in Southwest Florida. Join this fun, educational and uniquely American event. It kicks off on February 15 – don't miss it!
