What’s on this weekend?
Looking for things to do in Naples this weekend? For November 13–15, the available calendars list a Saturday Mud Run and several fall-play entries in nearby Ave Maria—but they do not establish any dated events in Naples itself. Below, you’ll find flexible Naples outing ideas alongside those scheduled options, with locations clearly labeled.
That distinction matters: a Naples dinner and an Ave Maria performance are different outings. Choose the one that suits your group rather than squeezing both into an already-full day.
Staying in Naples? Keep the plan simple
Without a verified Naples event listing, a self-guided day is the more dependable recommendation. These are outing ideas, not announcements of special events or confirmed venue availability.
Make dinner the main event
Pick a restaurant that suits your group, confirm its hours and reservation availability directly, and leave room for a walk or browsing nearby. Keeping your plans in one area means less time coordinating between stops.
For a date night, one good reservation can be enough. For a group, agree on the meal first, then treat anything before or afterward as optional. Our Naples guide is a starting point for broader trip planning.
Leave space for an outdoor afternoon
A beach outing or an unhurried outdoor walk can work as the centerpiece of a relaxed day. Check current weather, public access and any posted restrictions for your chosen location before leaving.
Bring water and sun protection, and keep an indoor alternative in mind. There’s no need to build your whole weekend around conditions you haven’t checked yet.
Nearby Saturday option: Ave Maria Mud Run
The Town of Ave Maria events calendar lists the Mud Run on Saturday, November 14, from 10:00 a.m. to noon, at Ave Maria North Park, 4010 Anthem Parkway. The race is listed as kicking off at 10:00 a.m.
The town’s description welcomes families and four-legged friends, presenting the morning as an option for both competitive runners and people joining for fun.
This event is in Ave Maria, not Naples. It’s worth considering if your group wants an active outing and is happy to make it a separate destination. You can get oriented with our Ave Maria guide.
Before committing, confirm with the organizer:
- Whether registration is required and whether places remain available.
- Any participation fees, age requirements or course rules.
- Check-in instructions and guidance for bringing a dog.
- Any weather-related updates.
Those details are not included in the supplied event listing, so don’t assume entry is free or that walk-up participation is available.
AVE RIDES PRO TIP Bring clean clothes, spare shoes and a bag for muddy gear if you’re joining the Mud Run. Changing before your next stop helps keep the rest of the day—and your ride—comfortable.
Nearby theater option: AMU’s fall play
The Ave Maria University events calendar lists fall-play entries throughout the weekend at O’Bryan Performance Hall in Ave Maria.
| Day | Calendar-listed time window |
|---|---|
| Friday, November 13 | 4:00–10:00 p.m. |
| Saturday, November 14 | 1:00–4:00 p.m. |
| Saturday, November 14 | 7:30–10:30 p.m. |
| Sunday, November 15 | 3:00–6:00 p.m. |
Treat these as published calendar windows, not independently confirmed curtain times or performance lengths. In particular, the broad Friday entry needs clarification before you plan dinner or transportation around it.
The supplied calendar does not identify the play, ticket prices, remaining seats, age suitability or public-admission arrangements. Contact the university or follow its event details before heading over.
For a theater-focused outing, choose one listing and plan the rest of your day around the confirmed performance time. If you’re considering Saturday’s Mud Run as well, allow time to clean up and eat rather than counting on a seamless transition.
Another university listing to check
AMU also lists a Booster Club Tailgate on Saturday, November 14, from 7:00–10:00 p.m., at its Football Field.
The calendar alone does not establish public eligibility, admission requirements or a related game schedule. Treat this as something to investigate if you’re interested in university activities—not a confirmed drop-in recommendation.
Put your weekend together
Choose one main activity, then add a meal or a flexible stop. For Naples-only plans, keep it local and verify individual venue details. For an Ave Maria event, confirm participation or admission before arranging the trip.
Once your destination and timing are settled, book a ride with Ave Rides. Share the actual venue and your preferred return plan rather than relying on a broad calendar window.
