Mother Eve Event For All That Showcases The Women That Cultivate Our Community!

What could have been a rainy washout turned into a fun, exciting, and memorable day at the Town of Naples’ MOTHER·EVE event this past weekend!

From Hamilton House to Causeway Commons and all the wonderful businesses and shops in between, the community came together to celebrate the people who make Naples so special. With over 50 local artists, makers, professionals, and vendors, the event was filled with creativity, connections, delicious food, shopping, demos, music, and smiles all day long.

A huge highlight was the live music from the incredibly talented Julia Chisholm and Thomas Charles V, who helped keep the energy alive despite the weather. The fun continued into the evening with a packed and lively After Party at Freedom Cafe, where Julia Chisholm entertained the crowd and brought the perfect ending to a great community celebration.

Many thanks to the amazing 50+ vendors who worked so hard setting up for the day, the attendees who braved the weather to attend and special thanks to Chelsea McKamy and her committee for organizing such a unique and uplifting event for our community.

Pay it Forward in Our Lakes Region

One of the things that makes our community so special is how we look out for one another.

As you know, some businesses are thriving… while others may be quietly navigating a tougher season. And sometimes, a small gesture can make a meaningful difference.

If you’re in a position where your business is doing well, here’s a simple idea to consider…

What if you “paid it forward” by sponsoring a local small business and covering the cost of their placement in the Lakes Region Area Guide?

For $300, that business would receive a full year of visibility—shared regularly through the Guide, our newsletter, and across our local Facebook groups. It’s a chance to help them get seen, supported, and maybe even gain the momentum they need.

No pressure at all—just an idea rooted in community.

If it feels like something you’d enjoy being part of, feel free to reach out to Sue Reach out anytime: lakesregionmarketing@gmail.com and we’ll take care of the rest.

Because when one local business is lifted up… we all rise together.
