The Naples Pulse Weekly
Curated local events for Naples, by interest
Good morning, Naples.
June is asking us to be strategic. Do the bright, outdoor things early, save the chilled arena and theater seats for evening, and keep a few easy brunch and water-view plans in your pocket.
The Everblades bring the Kelly Cup Finals back to Hertz Arena tonight and Friday, Oliver! takes its final bow at TheatreZone this weekend, and the rest of the week has enough rooftop music, champagne brunch, food tours, farm time, and Bayfront water plans to make a slower summer calendar feel alive.
This week's big picture: hockey brings the noise, Oliver! brings the polish, and the best daytime moves are short, shaded, delicious, or on the water.
If you only make one plan, make it the Everblades tonight or Oliver! before it closes Sunday. If you are hosting family, build around brunch, a short tour, and one easy water-view outing.
Best Bets at a Glance
• Best big-night energy: Everblades vs. Kansas City tonight at Hertz Arena
• Best theater plan: Oliver! before it closes Sunday
• Best polished brunch: Sails on Saturday or Sunday
• Best easy visitor move: Naples Princess or Pure Florida from the waterfront
• Best early family stop: Second Saturdays Open Farm
This Week's Headliner
Florida Everblades vs. Kansas City Mavericks
Wednesday, June 10 | 7:30 PM | Hertz Arena
The Kelly Cup Finals are back in Southwest Florida tonight, which gives the week a real local pulse. Hertz Arena is the place to be if you want cold air, crowd noise, playoff stakes, and a night that feels bigger than the usual June calendar.
The series is scheduled for Wednesday and Friday at Hertz Arena, with Saturday possible if needed. Check the official schedule before you go, especially for the weekend game.

Music & Live Entertainment
Motown Ross Brown at Rooftop
Thursday, June 11 | 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM | Rooftop at Riverside
An easy early-evening music stop before dinner, with enough groove to feel like a plan and early enough to keep the night comfortable. It is north of Naples, but it works if you want casual, social, and not too late.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/motown-ross-brown-at-rooftop/2026/06/11
Live Music at Compass Margaritaville
Thursday, June 11 through Saturday, June 13 | Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Naples
Compass gives you a flexible music backup across the weekend, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday listings. Treat it as the breezy add-on after dinner, not the whole production.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/events
Live Entertainment Every Sunday at Compass
Sunday, June 14 | 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM | Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Naples
A low-commitment Sunday option if you want music in the afternoon instead of building the whole day around a show. Good for readers who want a little movement before the workweek returns.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/live-dj-every-sunday-at-compass-margaritaville/2026/06/14
Theater & Performing Arts
Oliver!
Wednesday, June 10 through Sunday, June 14 | TheatreZone
Oliver! is the strongest theater pick of the week and closes Sunday. It is familiar, polished, and easy to recommend for couples, visiting family, or anyone who wants a classic musical with heart, not homework.
Info: https://theatre.zone/shows/
Oliver! Talkback Night
Thursday, June 11 | 7:30 PM | TheatreZone
Thursday has the added talkback note, which makes it the best choice for theater readers who like a little more context after the curtain comes down.
Info: https://theatre.zone/shows/
Oliver! Sunday Matinee
Sunday, June 14 | 2:00 PM | TheatreZone
If evening plans are harder in June, the Sunday matinee is the practical closing-weekend route. Same show, easier timing, and a better fit for multigenerational plans.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/oliver-matinee/2026/06/14
Food & Dining
Feast on 5th: Naples Food Tour
Wednesday, June 10, Sunday, June 14, and Wednesday, June 17 | 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM | Paradise Food Tours
A structured Fifth Avenue outing for visitors, newer residents, or locals who want downtown handled for them. It gives you the walk, the tastings, and the story without having to negotiate the plan over lunch.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/feast-on-5th-naples-food-tour/2026/06/10
Saturday Champagne Brunch
Saturday, June 13 | 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM | Sails Restaurant
This is the polished brunch lane. Use it when the weekend needs a little ceremony, especially with visitors, a birthday, or a table that should feel like an occasion.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/saturday-champagne-brunch/2026/06/13
Sunday Champagne Brunch
Sunday, June 14 | 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM | Sails Restaurant
The Sunday version gives you the same elevated brunch plan without competing with Saturday errands, family arrivals, or evening hockey.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/sunday-champagne-brunch/2026/06/14
Weekend Brunch at Taberna
Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14 | 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM | Taberna Burntwood
A practical weekend brunch option if you want something easier to schedule before a matinee, a waterfront outing, or a relaxed afternoon.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/events
Brunch with a Roar
Sunday, June 14 | 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM | Tigress Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
Use this as the more playful Sunday brunch pick. It is a better fit when you want the meal to feel like the plan, not just the stop before the plan.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/brunch-with-a-roar-at-tigress-restaurant-rooftop-bar/2026/06/14
Arts & Culture
Downtown Bonita Springs Walking History Tour
Wednesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 11 | Historic McSwain Home Museum and Gardens
A simple history-and-walking option for readers willing to go a little north. The Thursday morning time is the better summer-friendly version, with less heat and more room to linger.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/events
Flamingo Island Flea Market
Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14 | 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM | Bonita Springs
This is casual weekend browsing rather than a marquee cultural event, but it can scratch the treasure-hunt itch if you go early and keep it light.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/flamingo-island-flea-market/2026/06/12
Twisted Bingo at Rooftop
Wednesday, June 10 | 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM | Rooftop at Riverside
Light, social, and easy to pair with an early drink or dinner. Best for readers already comfortable heading toward Bonita Springs.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/twisted-bingo-at-rooftop/2026/06/10
Art After Hours at The Baker Museum
Coming up Wednesday, June 24 | Artis-Naples
This one is outside the main seven-day window, but worth marking now. Art After Hours is the stronger late-June arts note and should be a bigger item in a later issue.
Info: https://artisnaples.org/events/visual-arts-events/art-after-hours
Boating & Water
Naples Princess Sightseeing Cruises
Daily | 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM | Port-O-Call Way
Still one of the easiest ways to make a quieter week feel like Naples. Good for visiting family, low-planning afternoons, and a water-view outing that does not require towels, chairs, or a full beach operation.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/naples-princess-cruises/2026/06/10
Pure Florida Sightseeing Excursions
Daily | 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM | Tin City
A flexible Tin City-adjacent option when you want the water without overbuilding the day. Pair it with lunch nearby and keep the rest of the schedule simple.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/pure-florida-daily-sightseeing-excursions/2026/06/10
Naples Bay Water Shuttle
Daily | Naples waterfront
Good as a lunch add-on, visitor activity, or casual waterfront loop when the forecast cooperates.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/events
Golf & Sports
Florida Everblades vs. Kansas City Mavericks
Wednesday, June 10 | 7:30 PM | Hertz Arena
This is the strongest sports pick in the issue window. The Everblades are back home for Game 3 of the Kelly Cup Finals, and it is the rare June event with real urgency.
Info: https://www.floridaeverblades.com/schedule
Florida Everblades vs. Kansas City Mavericks
Friday, June 12 | 7:30 PM | Hertz Arena
Friday gives hockey readers a second home finals night. If Wednesday does not work, this is the next clean option and a strong start to the weekend.
Info: https://www.floridaeverblades.com/schedule
Florida Everblades vs. Kansas City Mavericks, if necessary
Saturday, June 13 | 7:00 PM | Hertz Arena
Saturday is listed as an if-necessary finals game. Check the official schedule before making the drive.
Info: https://www.floridaeverblades.com/schedule
FC Naples on the Road
Saturday, June 13 | 7:00 PM | at Charlotte Independence
FC Naples is away this weekend, so this is more of a follow-from-home note than a local outing. The next home-match check belongs in the following issue.
Info: https://www.fcnaples.com/schedule/
Outdoor & Nature
Second Saturdays Open Farm
Saturday, June 13 | 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM | Empowerment Farm
This is the gentlest family-friendly outdoor pick of the weekend. Go early, keep it short, and it can work nicely with grandkids or visiting family before the day gets heavy.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/event/second-saturdays-open-farm/2026/06/13
Naples Botanical Garden
Daily | Bayshore Drive
June is a morning-first garden season. Go earlier if you want the most comfortable version of the outing, especially with guests or grandkids.
Info: https://www.naplesgarden.org/
Waterfront Sightseeing
Daily | Naples Bay, Tin City, and Port-O-Call Way
Naples Princess, Pure Florida, and the Naples Bay Water Shuttle all work for a low-friction outdoor plan when the forecast cooperates.
Info: https://www.visitnaplesfl.com/events
Tuesday Night Tuck-In on the Farm
Tuesday, June 16 | 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM | Empowerment Farm
A gentle outdoor note for readers planning next Tuesday afternoon.
