Events in Fort Lauderdale | A Prelude to Halloween The “cooler” weather has finally arrived in South Florida.

Last week, I posed several must attend events in Fort Lauderdale. This week I am heading further afield into Broward County to present more events in Fort Lauderdale and beyond this Labor Day Weekend 2015. First I will head over to Davie. Flamingo Gardens, located on wait for it…. Flamingo Road is offering half-price entry this Labor Day 2015. Included in this adventure are a Native Bird Festival and a narrated tram tour of the grounds. Of course attendees can all enjoy many botanical attractions on offer including the famous Flamingo in all their glory. One word comes to mind when I visit Flamingo Gardens…Zen. If you have never ventured over to Flamingo Gardens, I have no hesitation in recommending this attraction to you. It is well worth the money and effort in getting there, I promise.

Do you remember as a child the thrill of the big top? The red and white topped tent that meandered into town? The circus, mainly presented by Barnum and Bailey infused the air with a palatable thrill each and every time they came to our area? Over the years, there have been many of these events in Broward County.  I am sure many of my generation recall the clowns, acrobats, trapeze acts, musicians, tightrope walkers, unicycles and my absolute favorite, the tightrope walkers.

Arriving at our doors is the world  famous Cirque Du Soleil, the largest theatrical production company in the world. This company’s productions, in my opinion, are the continuation and development of the old time circus.
