On the first Sunday of each month, there's Jazz in the Park at this beautiful park on the water just on the other side of the bridge from us. Even though it's called "Jazz in the Park," the genres differ with multiple stages guaranteeing something for everyone. There are also local vendors selling art, soaps, jewelry, accessories, honey, etc. In the same area, there's the local history museum if you're a history buff and want to know more about Ft. Lauderdale as a city. It's a kid and pet friendly event so if you're interested, just let us know! We have park blankets and/or chairs you can take with you to really partake like a local!
