Fort Lauderdale Arts and Culture

We take tremendous pride in the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, The Concert Association of Florida, and more than 20 local theatre companies.  The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood also brings some remarkable exhibits and performances to our area.  

Just minutes from the beach is the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.  This is a Fort Lauderdale treasure.  The most beautiful mile of riverfront lined with extravagant yachts, it is full of cultural attractions, shops and restaurants, street vendors and musicians.  

Riverwalk is adjacent to Esplanade Park and other downtown attractions like the Performing Art s Center The Broward County Library, The Museum of Science and Discovery, the  Museum of Art, chic Las Olas Boulevard and so much more.  

The downtown area also includes the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, and historic Stranahan House.

Fort Lauderdale Boating and First Quality Used Yachts

There are more yachts per capita in Fort Lauderdale than anyplace else in the world.  With so many homes along our gorgeous Intracoastal Waterway and other inland canals, it is only natural that local residents have made this the Yachting Capital of the World.   

If your South Florida lifestyle includes a yacht, you can't live without The Boating News.

Fort Lauderdale Hotels and Accommodation

The number of hotels and motels is almost as staggering as the number of restaurants. Our area offers everything from little mom & pop motels and beach guesthouses near the lavish Marriot Harbor Beach Resort and Spa and the Hyatt at Pier 66, right next to Bahia Mar.  

Otherwise your best bet for a list that's kept up to date is our Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. Their page is full of graphics and will take a minute to load but it's easy to navigate and full of useful information on sports, shopping, arts, entertainment, and lots more.
