Of course, Fort Lauderdale is known for its beaches and relaxed vacation spots, but it also has a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, which is why the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District is a good option to visit while on a vacation in Broward County.

It is a society to promote all spaces related to the art scene, entertainment, culture alongside New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Riverwalk Arts Entertainment District Fort Lauderdale

This area holds over a thousand yearly events and cultural activities and over a million visitors enjoy those activities.
The Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District consists on:

  • Broward Center for the Performing Arts
  • NSU Art Museum
  • Florida Grand Opera: The 7th oldest in the United States, and tenth in the biggest operas top ten. During 2017 celebrated its 75th anniversary.
  • Fort Lauderdale Historical Society.
  • Stranahan House-Museum: A building built in 1901 as a market for trading between natives and settlers. In time, it evolved into a hotel and restaurant; now listed as a historic building and slated as the gathering point for many tours and activities of the area.
  • Bonnet House Museum and Gardens.

There are also other interesting activities in the area that, even though are not formally a part of the District society, you could very well enjoy while you are there:

You can also follow the links of all the attractions and activities of the district we were able to enjoy; and of course, the rest are going to be on our bucket list for our next visit to Fort Lauderdale, as it seems every vacation is a short vacation when there´s so much to see and a great place to be in.
