3. Pompano Beach Seafood Festival

In case you hadn't noticed, Florida is surrounded by water. And with water comes some major seafood.

The three-day fest includes plenty of live music, arts and crafts, food, drinks, and, of course, South Florida seafood.

The festival is located on the beach just one block north of Atlantic Boulevard, at the Pompano Beach Pier.

2. Grow Downtown

Well, summer is here--meaning your just going to sweat for the next 6 months. To help you get over it, Flagler Gardens is hosting its "Grow Downtown" event sponsored by Whole Foods. Being held on its future site, the event will feature live music, local green market vendors, and sangria--tons of sangria. Proceeds of the tasty summer beverage will go directly to the garden. The even takes place Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm.
