Island Hopper Songwriter Fest is a 10-day music festival in Southwest Florida featuring performances by the greatest BMI singer-songwriters from Nashville and nationwide. The festival is broken up into four locations with the first weekend kicking off on Captiva Island, then moving to Cape Coral and downtown Fort Myers during the week, and ends with a weekend on Fort Myers Beach. Most shows are free with the exception of some ticketed experiences like our headliner show, songwriter cruise, and dinner.
