Along with sun and sand, Greater Fort Lauderdale offers a wealth of events and attractions this spring that include thoroughbred racing, baseball spring training, performing arts, a seafood festival and an impressive air and sea show. With the popularity of golf today, there will be a mad dash to buy tickets to catch a glimpse of Phil Mickelson and the competition. This race is just one of many that take place throughout the season. Look to the skies during one of the biggest spectator events in the country, May 5-6. By day, military and civilian air and sea acts amaze the crowds with stunts and acrobatics and by night, musical performers and fireworks entertain.
All events are free.
The new wing will provide a permanent home for the remarkable collection of art by renowned American Impressionist William Glackens, one of the most influential American painters of the first decades of the twentieth century. Games held in March are open to the public. Once Spring training is over, the Marlin's season begins in April.
