Organizers are inviting the public to take part in the third annual Naples Women’s Weekend, a three-day celebration of Women’s History Month, set for March 6 through March 8 in Naples.
The multi-day event will feature workshops, speakers, live entertainment, pop-up shops, wellness activities, and hands-on classes hosted by women-led businesses and community organizations throughout Naples and surrounding areas.
Events will take place at more than two dozen locations, with a central hub located at 121 North Main Street, serving as an information center, pop-up boutique, and prize headquarters. Visitors can pick up event schedules, purchase merchandise, and participate in a traveling punch card program for a chance to win prize baskets.
