The City of Fort Myers and the River District Alliance (RDA) are partnering to host a two-day community celebration in downtown Fort Myers to commemorate America’s 250th birthday, bringing residents and visitors together for free, family-friendly festivities honoring the nation’s historic milestone.
As the nation prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, the City of Fort Myers, local businesses and community leaders have already raised nearly $250,000 to ensure the celebration is free for all attendees. To help offset event costs, the city established the ’76 Reignited Fund at Collaboratory. City of Fort Myers Mayor Kevin Anderson contributed $10,000 from the city’s Neighborhood Improvement Funds to launch the fundraising effort.
