The Cove Beer & Wine Bar has three great "theme nights" on it's weekly schedule. In addition to Sunset Saturdays (see featured graphic below), we now have BINGO on Wednesday nights starting at 6pm and on select Friday nights we'll be highlighting a brand new theme "Live @ The Cove" featuring live music from 6-10 pm (see featured graphic below). Check our website calendar for select dates.

We are working on a couple more theme nights that we're hoping to announce soon.  So, check our website and socials often! 

The Paradise Coast Sports Complex is proud to announce the newest act on Friday Nights!  While we have had "theme" nights on Fridays in the past, with it's popularity increasing, we have had numerous requests for a variety of live acts to perform at The Cove, so we have decided to make select Friday nights something special.

Now, "Live @ The Cove" will mean something different each time and you can check our social media and website for the latest details each week to see what's in store for The Cove on Fridays!

Beginning at 6 pm on those select Fridays, The Cove Beer & Wine Bar will not only feature great music but will have cool drink specials like Frozes, Freislings and occasionally, frozen Mojitos — along with delicacies from a variety of food trucks, including our very own award-winning "FUEL" food truck — So, make Friday nights a must-circle night on your calendar.

Check our website calendar for more details.

Every night has the possibility of being special at Paradise Coast Sports Complex, but one night of each week virtually guarantees a fun time — Sunset Saturdays!

Beginning at 6 pm each Saturday, The Cove Beer & Wine Bar transforms into a reggae universe — with the rhythm of the islands swaying through the palms and the sounds of superb local bands like NostalJah, I-Ruption, Hat Trick and Jah Rockaz.

Great music is only one facet of Sunset Saturdays, as cool drink specials like Frozes, Freislings and frozen Mojitos — along with delicacies from Collier County food trucks — make it a must-circle night on your calendar.

So make it a point to structure your Saturdays around Paradise Coast Sports Complex and Sunset Saturdays. You won’t regret it!

Hello Everyone,

Seems just like it was yesterday we were executing our ‘in-season’ events but 2023 is now 50% done.

Whilst the time seems to be flying by, it’s good to take the time to look back and see what has been accomplished.

• 2500+ hours of local programming use to area youth sports clubs
• 50+ birthday parties and corporate events
• 15 community events
• 22 Sporting Tournaments

My personal highlights, amongst many, have been the Kentucky Derby Party on the Great Lawn, that we produced with our partners at Naples Dealers; the Pan Florida Bicycle Challenge and the Memorial Day Ceremony we hosted with the local VFW.  These events really highlight the flexibility and the impact a venue like ours brings to a community.

Many people will have seen that we are to host the July 4^th Fireworks here in what is Collier County’s centennial year. It is a really cool honor to do so, and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone that can make it out. For everyone’s’ enjoyment, I encourage you to car pool and leave plenty of time to get here for the display that will start around 9pm. More details for the event are here.

Straight after the Fireworks we welcome the Football University Top Gun Camp, this is a culmination of months of nationwide Regional Camps selecting the best young football athletes to work with the best coaches here in Paradise. You’ll probably see these athletes and their families around town, in restaurants and enjoying our beaches… maybe in a few years you’ll see them on TV!

As we head in to the rest of the year, we will be as busy as usual, with more and more events coming up!

Happy 4th Everyone!

Adrian
