What started as an effort to activate a single street has grown into one of Broward County’s most impactful cultural movements. The AOTA (Avenue of the Arts) Mural Festival began along NW 7th Avenue—now widely recognized as the Avenue of the Arts—with a simple but powerful idea: bring art directly to the community and invite people to experience creativity where they already live.

In Broward County, culture shows up in many forms. Music, visual art, dance, theater, and festivals all play a role in shaping how people connect to place and to one another.

The Live Therapy Show is back, and it is not just another night of stand-up. It is a reminder of why gathering in a room together to laugh still matters.

No two nights are the same because no two audiences show up the same way.

Some Of The Cocktail Lineup At Heyday In a time when many new spaces are designed to make noise, Heyday Miami is doing something far more compelling. It’s building presence. Located at 120 S. 20th Ave in Hollywood, Heyday Miami is a day-to-night neighborhood café and wine bar that feels less like a destination and more like a rhythm. The kind that eases into your routine, then suddenly becomes part of it. Morning coffee turns into an afternoon pause. A juice or smoothie beco

On Saturday mornings in Deerfield Beach, something quietly powerful unfolds at The Cove Shopping Plaza. What might otherwise be a routine stop becomes a shared ritual. Coffee is poured.

In Broward County, fitness culture is strong. Gyms are full, studios are packed, and people are constantly pushing themselves to do more.
