Fort Myers, FL — Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium invites the community to experience nature like never before at Pints in the Pines, an unforgettable evening of craft beer, great food, live music, and stargazing on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 6:00 to 10:00 PM, at its campus located at 3450 Ortiz Avenue, Fort Myers.


Set beneath the night sky and surrounded by the natural beauty of Calusa’s wooded trails, Pints in the Pines is a one-night-only fundraising event benefiting Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium — your nature space in Southwest Florida. Widely anticipated as one of the most exciting community events of the year, the evening promises to be the greatest night on the planet in Fort Myers.


Guests will enjoy a relaxed, festive atmosphere featuring craft beer from local breweries, refreshing beverages, and great food included with the price of admission, highlighted by delicious offerings from Fort Myers–based Gavala Catering. The evening also includes live music, a silent auction, and exclusive access to the Nature Center after dark.


The event will be hosted by Southwest Florida emcees, including Eric Raddatz, Executive Director of Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium, and Shane Spring, President of the Royal Palm Coast Realtor® Association, with special dignitary Councilwoman Diana Giraldo of the Fort Myers City Council joining the celebration.




Headlining Musical Guest

Pints in the Pines is proud to announce acclaimed local musician Sarah Hadeka as the headlining musical guest for this year’s event.


A powerful vocalist, accomplished songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Hadeka is known for her emotional, authentic performances and dynamic stage presence. Classically trained and performing since childhood, she brings a rare blend of technical skill and heartfelt storytelling to every show. Performing with her trio, Hadeka will provide the perfect musical backdrop for an evening of craft beer, community, and celebration under the pines.


A Night Under the Stars

What a fantastic event and a wonderful way to celebrate nature while supporting such an important mission! Bringing together the community for an evening of live music, great food, craft beverages, stargazing, and environmental education is a brilliant white background photo edit way to inspire people to connect with the natural world.

Super

En France, lorsqu’on compare plusieurs plateformes de jeux en ligne, on remarque rapidement que l’expérience varie surtout une fois que l’on commence à explorer différentes sections du site, et pas uniquement lors de la première visite. La navigation initiale peut sembler simple, mais la qualité réelle se révèle dans les actions répétées.


Ce qui devient important dans ce contexte, c’est la logique globale du parcours utilisateur, notamment la manière dont les menus, les jeux et les paramètres s’enchaînent sans créer de rupture dans la Magical Spin peut être utilisé dans cette comparaison pour analyser la cohérence de l’interface et la fluidité générale lors d’une utilisation active.
