November 14, 2011 - Music Walk Moves to 3rd Fridays in 2012

Fort Myers, Fl (November 14, 2011) - MUSIC WALK MOVES TO 3RD FRIDAYS IN 2012. Starting in January of 2012, Fort Myers Music Walk will happen each month on 3rd Fridays! The move is due to event conflicts throughout the year that caused date changes in 2011. The River District Alliance, which hosts the event, decided the event would need to change dates in order to better benefit the downtown business community and create the least amount of conflicts with annual and seasonal Saturday events. The event was moved to 4th saturday several times in 2011 to accomdate events such as Edision Festival of Lights, Surf and Song Festival and Zombicon.

Along with the move to Fridays in 2012 the River District Alliance plans on launching a "buy local" Saturday marketing campaign to capitalize on Southwest Floridas largest group of independent locally owned businesses in one area, downtown Fort Myers River District. The marketing campaign will promote the wealth of great events and happenings each and every Saturday of the month downtown, including outdoor markets, classic car shows, block parties, bike nights and more. Street performers will also still be welcome on Saturdays. The River District Alliance alone has over 60 events planned in downtown Fort Myers in 2012, including the 4th of July Freedom Fest and the monthly Fort Myers Art Walk.
