There is never a shortage of fun and exciting things to do in sunny Fort Lauderdale. Whether your style is active and on the go, or you prefer to be more laid-back and casual, our community is always host to a myriad of events and activities from which to choose.

Art enthusiasts will no doubt enjoy the Viva Florida 500 "Best in Show" Series sponsored by the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens. The exhibit features fine art by various artists and will be shown in Fort Lauderdale's Gallery 928 (928 NE 20th Avenue). The art showcased in the gallery will rotate, and several openings are scheduled for each new round of pieces. The remaining opening receptions are scheduled for this week on August 29th and again on October 3rd, both from 6 to 8 pm. There will be wine and cheese, along with raffles for fine prizes, all in a free, open-to-the-public venue.
