Fort Myers River District

The Fort Myers River District is the historic heart of Fort Myers, featuring a mix of preserved 19th-century buildings and modern storefronts along the Caloosahatchee River. Its vibrant streets host a variety of art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, making it a focal point for both locals and visitors alike. Visit on a Thursday evening when the weekly Farmers Market takes over, creating a lively atmosphere filled with fresh produce and live music. Nearby, the Edison and Ford Winter Estates provide insight into the lives of two of America's inventors, just a short walk from the riverfront. Look out for local art installations that reflect the community's creative spirit.
