Fort Lauderdale, a city in Southern Florida is known for many different things. The seaside city of Fort Lauderdale is noted for its 165 miles of inland waterways, giving the city the sobriquet of being “The Venice of America.” With close to 4 million cruise ship passengers sailing through Port Everglades at the Southern tip of Fort Lauderdale, the city is the third largest cruise port in the world. In addition, Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the world with more 100 marinas housing more than 50,000 registered yachts.
The city of Fort Lauderdale is also an intensely popular tourist destination and up unto the mid 1980s, Fort Lauderdale was also the Spring Break Capital of the nation for college students from across the country. Up to this, it’s estimated that 350,000 college students annually visited Fort Lauderdale during the Spring season. After legislation was passed discouraging this, only 20,000 to 40,000 college students now visit Fort Lauderdale for Spring Break.
Nevertheless, the city of Fort Lauderdale now has other annual events which draw thousands of tourists from the across the country. The Fort Lauderdale Beach area from Sunrise Boulevard to Las Olas Boulevard is the place to be every late spring for the Annual Fort Lauderdale Air and Sea Show. While major metropolitan cities such as New York and Chicago also host similar “Fleet Week” air and sea events, there’s nothing quite like watching the show from the sandy shores of the Fort Lauderdale beach. It’s estimated that approximately 20,000 individuals attended the annual weekend long event.
Fort Lauderdale Beach is also the home the Annual Tortuga Music Festival, which has taken place on Fort Lauderdale Beach for the past decade. Performers Shania Twain, Eric Church and Kenny Chesney are scheduled to headline the Tortuga Music Fest this April. Previous entertainers at the Fort Lauderdale festival include Wiz Khalifa, Flo Rida and Sheryl Crow.
Each December, the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal Waterway is the place to be for the Annual Hard Rock Seminole Winterfest Boat Parade, a Fort Lauderdale holiday tradition for more than 50 years.
