It's also great to just enjoy a drink and a nice conversation in a beautiful setting. You'll find the perfect atmosphere for a wind-down at unWined Wine & Beer Bar, Punta Gorda Chocolate & Wine, Downtown Kava, or Perch 360 atop the Wyvern Hotel.
Adventures Mom Will Love
Mom can choose her own gift from a variety of unique vendors in a beautiful setting at the Mother's Day Delight event at Founder's Square at Babcock Ranch.
It's stressful being a mom or a maternal figure, so give the gift of chill with Calm & Connected: A Special Mother's Day Event by The Yoga Sanctuary or with an outdoor Mother's Day Celebration yoga experience in a beautiful park with Loving Light Yoga.
Head over to Laishley Park in Punta Gorda for a Mother's Day Arts and Crafts Fair, happening from 9 am until 4 pm.
Take mom shopping in beautiful and historic downtown Punta Gorda for some special drinks, snacks, and sales at HipNotique Boutique. Close by, you'll find Sugar Chic Boutique's Mamas & Mimosas event, featuring a mimosa bar, sales, cosmetic services, raffles, and more.
If mom or anyone else in the party is a pickleball player, they’ll be very happy with the options in the area, from our crown jewel, the Pickleplex® of Punta Gorda, to easy drop-in courts from one end of our area to the other. Or, if someone wants to golf, they’ll find over 15 beautiful courses to enjoy.
Beach time is always great, no matter if you’re lazing in the sun, swimming, or collecting shells and fossilized shark teeth. Bonus: there are great restaurants within walking distance of Englewood Beach, our main sand-and-surf spot.
Theater & Entertainment
Nothing beats the energy of a live stage performance! Treat mom to live music at many of our restaurants and keep an eye out for special events like these:
The Grill at 1951 is presenting Mother's Day Lunch with Pianist Fred Schuchert. Reservations are required for this special event.
Visani Italian Steakhouse and Comedy Theater is proud to present Mother's Day with Comedian Maryellen Hooper.
