I am listing the attractions and special events together for November 2020. I am organizing the events and attraction within each place, not of type of place. For instance, all of Naples Botanic Gardens attractions and events will be under one section instead of two. Additionally, if there are any special events that are not at one of the places they will be in a special events section on top.
Some places have re-opened since they closed for coronavirus, but still have some restrictions and limitations. I will provide the most updated info I have at the time of the post, but check the websites of the places for the most current info.
