The Lee County Community Band invites music lovers of all ages to its March 2026 concert, “A Festival of Music!” on Sunday, March 15, 2026 at 3:00 PM at the Mariner High School Auditorium in Cape Coral. Admission is free and open to the public.
This exciting program celebrates the rich traditions of band music with a wide variety of styles, including patriotic selections, classic marches, jazz and swing favorites, Broadway and film music, novelty features, and an audience sing-along.
The concert also pays tribute to the band’s historic roots, tracing its heritage to the original Fort Myers Brass Band of the 1880s, one of the earliest musical ensembles in Southwest Florida.
Under the direction of Gil Peltola, the Lee County Community Band continues its long-standing mission of providing high-quality musical entertainment to the community at no cost.
Founded in 1885 and incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1982, the Lee County Community Band is one of the oldest continuously operating community bands in the United States.
The remaining concert this season will be held April 12, at 3 p.m., at Mariner High School at 701 Chiquita Blvd.
