The resident Naples Philharmonic Orchestra is surely one of the finest regional orchestras in the US. Employing 49 full time musicians, the NPO has accompanied singers of the caliber of Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. An integral part of the community, The Phil runs regular educational programs and lectures, which vacationers are always welcome to book. The Dale Chihuly glass Persian Ceiling of the Museum of Art is worth the visit on its own.

Aside from having some of the best golf in the US, the Naples and Fort Myers area plays host to spectator sports as one of the key venues for MLB Spring Training in the Florida Grapefruit League. The Swamp Buggy Races are a Naples local tradition that has to be experienced . Invented here, it's fantastic fun for kids and the young at heart.
