Art Hollywood’s return in January 2026 is more than a date on the calendar. It is a statement about where Hollywood is headed and who gets to shape that future.

It is the foundation. The festival creates a rare and powerful opportunity for local artists to be seen, supported, and celebrat

On any given night in South Florida, you can find a comedy show. But every now and then, one comes along that feels less like a lineup and more like a ritual.

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. Music hums in the background. Neighbors greet one another by name. Local farmers unload produce harvested days earlier. Small business owners set up booths that represent not just products, but livelihoods. This is the Deerfield Beach Farmers Market, and it has become far more than a place to

Kick off the New Year with AXEN Club, a free monthly accountability and mastermind community in Pompano Beach helping creatives and entrepreneurs turn goals into action. Since launching in Broward, AXEN Club has transformed the lives of 100s of participants, providing the structure and support that so many need to break through barriers and achieve their goals. Whether it's securing a new job, launching a business, completing a passion project, or simply developing better ha

In Broward County, fitness culture is strong. Gyms are full, studios are packed, and people are constantly pushing themselves to do more. What has been missing is a place that focuses just as intentionally on recovery. The Plunge Recovery Station in Deerfield Beach is helping fill that gap, offering a science-backed approach to cold plunging and sauna that supports not only individual health, but the long-term wellness of the community as a whole.

A new improv theater is quietly carving out space for play, connection, and creative risk in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. New River Theater did not open to chase laughs or headlines. It opened to give people somewhere to exhale. Launched in the summer of 2025 by Josh Molina, the theater fills a long-standing gap in Fort Lauderdale’s cultural landscape by offering something deceptively rare: a place for adults to show up after work, drop the script, and be human

On Saturday, January 10, something special unfolds at the Southwest Regional Library in Pembroke Pines. Shelves of books become a backdrop. Courtyards and meeting rooms fill with movement, color, and sound. Families gather. Artists create in real time. Stories move off the page and into shared experience. This is ArtLit 2026, Broward County Library’s free, all-ages festival celebrating art, culture, and the stories that connect us. Running from 10AM to 3PM

If you are craving a holiday experience that feels immersive, creative, and unmistakably local, Revelry in Pompano Beach is setting the bar this season. From December 13 through December 28, Revelry transforms into a Nightmare Before Christmas Pop Up Bar that blends festive energy with cinematic flair and community connection. It is bold, playful, and exactly the kind of holiday moment that keeps people coming back.

Live theatre does something that very few experiences can. It brings people into the same room, at the same time, to feel something together. No pause button. No algorithm. No replay. Just human beings sharing breath, silence, laughter, tension, and release. For the past 10 years, New City Players has been quietly and consistently creating those moments in South Florida, and the impact has been profound.

They wanted to create a space where people walked out feeling better than when they walked in. Not just calmer, but more themselves. That intention became the foundation for everything that followed. From the way the space feels at night to how the menu is built, The Soulful Steep is not accidental. It is personal. It is a lived experience turned into a shared offering.

Whole Green Cafe has built its reputation around real food made with care. Beyond the bowls, the menu is full of smoothies, fresh juices, wraps, salads, acai bowls, and rotating specials that all lean toward clean energy without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re stopping in after a class, grabbing a quick lunch between meetings, or resetting your day with something nourishing, there’s always something that hits the mark.

Go Bistro has been a Downtown Hollywood favorite for years, so it made perfect sense for us to stop in for a light dinner before the Downtown Hollywood ArtWalk that takes place every 3rd Saturday. The restaurant blends a laid-back neighborhood feel with one of the most distinctive Asian-inspired menus in Broward County, anchored by ramen that consistently sits at the top of the local conversation.

In a region shaped by growth, cultural ambition and a rising appetite for community connection, Zero Empty Spaces stands as one of Broward County’s most influential homegrown cultural movements. Launched on Las Olas in 2019 by the same creative co-founders behind Choose954 (Evan Snow & Andrew Martineau), the initiative has expanded into the largest reaching and fastest growing affordable artist studio program in the country. Its scale is notable, but its origin story is what

Every great cultural region has a few cornerstone traditions that remind people who they are and what they value. In Broward County, the South Florida Folk and Acoustic Music Festival has long served as one of those anchors. As it returns to the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds in Davie from January 30 through February 1, 2026, the festival enters its 39th year not as a mere event, but as a testament to the endurance of community, creativity and the shared stories that shape the 954.

Every year, one of the most compelling cultural gatherings in South Florida returns to Pompano Beach with a force that is as heartfelt as it is electric. The Exit 36 Slam Poetry Festival has grown into a signature event for the region, bringing together poets, storytellers, and audiences for three days of creative exchange and shared humanity. Now entering its eighth year, the festival continues to expand its reach while staying rooted in the community that shaped it.

For most of her life, Stella Amador kept her poetry private. Even as she built businesses and spoke publicly, the poems she wrote to process heartbreak, hope, and the quiet complexities of life felt too personal to share. About three years ago, something shifted. She made a quiet promise to show up for her creative life in a deeper way. She began attending open mics across South Florida, searching for a space where poetry was the focus. When she could not find one in Fort Lau
