Hi, I’m Elli 👋
I’m a local singer and performer with Puerto Rican roots, and Cape Coral has been my stage in more ways than one. For years, I’ve been part of the rhythms, flavors, and gatherings that make this city feel so alive. Whether it’s belting out a song under the Florida sun, dancing to salsa in the street, or just sitting with friends over good food, I’ve always believed life is meant to be celebrated.
This blog is my way of carrying that spirit into everyday life. It’s not just about big events or stages—it’s about the little celebrations that happen all around us. A perfect plate of arroz con pollo. A neighbor teaching you a new dance step. Kids climbing rock walls at a street fair. Music spilling out from a downtown corner. The joy in those moments is what inspires me to write.
What You’ll Find Here
- Food & Flavor – from Latin classics to local favorites, and sometimes even a twist on both.
- Music & Culture – the sounds and stories that keep our community moving.
- Everyday Adventures – small slices of life in Cape Coral, where the fun is often hiding in plain sight.
Why “Viva Cape Coral”
For me, “Viva” isn’t just a word—it’s a way of living. It means to celebrate, to savor, to embrace what makes life colorful. That’s what I hope this blog feels like: a celebration of community, culture, and all the little joys that make Cape Coral feel like home.
So welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Grab a coffee, a piña colada, or maybe a pineapple drink served in an actual pineapple (trust me, it’s worth it 😉), and join me in celebrating life, one story at a time.
