November 2026 Events in Southwest Florida
Cape Coral Veterans Day Parade
A free, hometown parade honoring local veterans rolls west along the south side of Cape Coral Parkway, from Cape Coral Street to Chester Street. It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning with family and neighbors and say thank you to those who served.
Arrive early for a good spot along the route, and plan to grab lunch at one of the Parkway restaurants afterward.

View Event Details & Tickets →Holiday Nights on the Lawn
Cape Coral's Thanksgiving-weekend kickoff to the holiday season brings the city hall lawn to life with a tree and menorah lighting, skating, a trackless train, food trucks, and visits with Santa. A holiday movie plays each night, and Saturday adds a drone show.
It's a great first outing of the season, especially if you have family in town for Thanksgiving.
