Plan the weekend

Visit Lauderdale (official tourism board) lists smaller community events we don't track; most arena and stadium tickets are on Ticketmaster; the National Weather Service Miami – South Florida forecast decides beach plans; Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi avoids event parking; venue bag and parking policies are on the Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs (Amphitheater, Bailey Contemporary Arts) site. Dates and times are America/New_York and come straight from organizers' listings; we prune anything that disappears from its source.
