  Delray Beach Bus Loop
  Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square

  Only two things can improve a night out drinking with your friends — a designated driver and doing so for a good cause. The Delray Beach Bus Loop provides you with both. You get to get your booze on while those in need benefit and a friendly bus driver tours you around downtown Delray Beach. In this case, it’s the Delray Center for the Arts and the Delray Beach Co-Op Marketing... Read more about this event >>

  Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers
  Kravis Center for the Performing Arts

  Steve Martin is a multi-talented legend, in a way that shames even Justin Timberlake. The comic icon has proven himself as a king of the funnies and master of the banjo. His music prowess is so that when talking to friends about his performance at Kravis Center on May 24, the main question is "to be funny or to play music?" Followed of course by "How much are tickets?" I've heard stories of... Read more about this event >>

  Benoit & Sergio
  Electric Pickle

  Washington, D.C.- and Berlin-based production duo Benoit & Sergio ruled EDM charts and dance floors throughout 2011. And it wasn't just because of the hype afforded by releases on hot labels like DFA and Visionquest. No, the pair's mass appeal is directly connected to their music's pop sensibility. A Benoit & Sergio song is raw and edgy enough for the underground house and techno heads while... Read more about this event >>

  Los Bastardos Magnificos
  Dada Restaurant & Lounge

  Don't know local outlaw Americana crew Los Bastardos Magnificos? Well, there were about 100 years between the Civil War and the Mariel Boatlift when Miami was more characterized by its Southern heritage than any worldliness. Those were the days when a cheek full of chewing tobacco, a banjo, and a jug of moonshine were the perfect remedy to a long day machete-hacking through the rocky... Read more about this event >>

  Great American Beach Party
  Fort Lauderdale Beach Park

  In South Florida, we are lucky enough to experience summer weather throughout the year. So it’s a good thing the City of Fort Lauderdale is providing us with a truly epic reminder that the king of all seasons is finally on its way. It is doing it bigger than big with seven bands, a sand-castle-building competition, face-painting, chalk artists, and even more awesome stuff at the Great... Read more about this event >>

  Gold Coast Derby Grrls versus the Vets
  War Memorial Auditorium

  For the past three years, one of the most popular nights in roller-derby action has been the game between local bruisers the Gold Coast Derby Grrls versus the “Vets” — a team composed of the best roller-derby girls from around the world. Our local brawlers on wheels made the big leagues in 2011, joining the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. Since then, the Derby... Read more about this event >>

• 
  Tiempo Libre
  Arts Garage

  In the ’80s, while most American teens were watching “Thriller” on MTV on color TVs in the comfort of their living rooms, a group of young boys in Cuba, forbidden to listen to American music, were crowded around a homemade radio listening to the King of Pop, Chaka Khan, and Earth, Wind & Fire. Years later, these same seven boys immigrated to America and got the chance to... Read more about this event >>

  Sixth-Annual Pimp & Ho Party!!!
  Original Fat Cat's

  While making the bar scene in downtown Fort Lauderdale is usually quite enough fun all on its own, every once in a while, it’s nice to spice things up. And as in the bedroom, sometimes a little costumed role-playing is just the ticket. In England, it’s known as Vicars and Tarts, but here in America, we’re a bit less prim and proper: We go straight for Pimps and Hos. But to... Read more about this event >>

  Memorial Day Round Up

• 
  Yoga in the Park
  Secret Woods Nature Center

  People take their yoga as differently as they take their coffee. Some like it outdoors, some indoors. Some hot, some cold, some room temp (actually, scratch that -- no one likes coffee at room temp). But unlike the frantic cravings and caffeine highs of coffee, yoga stimulates its practitioners through specific motions, a serene state of mind, and a goal of inner and spiritual growth. And...

• 
  Beyond the Invisible
  Arts Park

  We learn pretty quickly after those intense elementary-school finger-painting sessions that the real-world definition of “art” is as expansive and varied as those who partake in creating it. The good artists, the ones who always get us thinking, focus on the fact that art is not something that can be caged or restrained. Carla Fache, a native of Santiago, Chile, is putting this...

  "The Radical Camera: New York's Photo Leagues, 1936-1951." Exhibit
