Things to Know Before You Go
- Parking: For events at the Great Lawn and Oceanic, the Pier Parking Garage (located at 3460 NE 3rd Street) offers convenient, covered parking just steps from the beach.
- Beat the Heat: Even in November, the South Florida sun can be strong. Remember to bring sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and plenty of hydration for outdoor daytime events like the Green Market.
- Boat Show Transit: If you are heading to FLIBS in Fort Lauderdale, consider taking the Water Taxi or using a rideshare service, as local parking near the marinas fills up very quickly.
