Food, music and plenty of fun are on tap for the inaugural Backyard Family Bash, presented by Rotary Club of Fort Myers, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22 at Alliance for the Arts. The Backyard Family Bash will have a variety of local foods and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. Proceeds benefit local nonprofits through the Fort Myers Rotary Trust Fund.
Donations will be accepted at the gate, and parking is free. Great local bands such as Strange Arrangement, The Juice, MFYF and more will take the stage throughout the day as families enjoy dishes from a variety of area eateries.
Beer from some of Fort Myers’ best craft breweries will be served for the adults, along with wine. Everyone will get to enjoy pie eating contests, face painting, corn hole, snag golf and more.
Racing fans will get a thrill as they get behind the wheel of racing legend Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Nationwide Insurance stock car simulator. Find out what it’s like to drive at nearly 200 mph in the same machine Earnhardt, Jr. uses to train for his races. Then, get an up-close look and photos with the No. 88 Nationwide Insurance show car.
