The "Ninth Annual Southwest Florida Music Festival", previously known as "The Southwest Florida Folk-n-Blues Festival",  is a Matlacha Mariners production.  The Mariners are a Community Oriented 501c3 Non Profit  Organization, based in Matlacha Florida, ( yes,,,you've got to go through Matlacha, to get to Pine Island and this year's festival, but don't blink) pronounced by locals as "Mat-La-Shay."  You'll find Matlacha a quaint barrier island that hosts a wide variety of colorful, art galleries, gift shops, restaurants and lodging accommodations, as well as "the fishin'est bridge in the world." 
This event has been Organized to Benefit Elementary School Music Education.  So please try to make it to the festival, it promises to showcase a full day of Fantastic Music, Great Food & Ice Cold Beverages.  It all takes place near beautiful St. James City, which is located along the Sunny Coast of Southwest Florida, what more could anyone ask for, a warm breeze, good food, cold beverages and great entertainment.  We doubt if there's any better way to help the kids with their music education and enjoy yourself at the same time.  Entrance - Adults $15.00 donation at the gate. Advance passes are just a $10.00 donation click here.
