Big Band Concerts in SW Florida
Free live music. Real horns, real swing, real community — and every show helps a local kid get an instrument.
With performances in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, and more.
Naples Big Band has been playing the swing era’s music live for 20 years, directed by trumpeter James Castaldi.
From free public concerts at Cambier Park and Veterans Community Park to ticketed shows at the Bonita Arts Center, the band brings the golden age of swing to audiences across Collier and Lee counties — year after year, always live, always free where it can be.
Beyond the bandstand, the Naples Big Band’s mission is to place instruments in the hands of Collier and Lee County students, partnering with schools and educators to make sure the next generation can pick up an instrument and play music.
