With a huge opportunity to bring culture to the South Florida community, it was largely missed. Checking in seemed disorganized but once in you walk through a tunnel of dolphins. Spitting you out to the craft section. Prices were as low as 2.00 all the way up to 500.00 with oriental rug stitching. The craft section also serves as the they're for the puppet show. This I thought was charming especially since the team of actors have been putting on shadow puppet shows for over 50 years. Than there's a small beer and wine stall along with an off brand food vendor ran by event staff and Chan's restaurant. All vendors were serving generic Chinese food. Which is a shame for such a rich culinary culture. The loop than puts you to small playgrounds and the King Fu theatre and over to a dinosaur ride section that has nothing to do with the Chinese Lantern Festival. Than it's to the light displays that wraps around the lake. All displays were cute but no where near the displays that could be accomplished. At 20.00 a person the Kung Fu show and Shadow Puppet Show ended up being the two small options worth any time or resources spent at this event.

Sidewalks are out because of a decorative paver sidewalk going in. There's plenty of vendors with something for everyone. Artwork, jewelry, yard art and other craft and gift ideas. All of the artists are in their booths and most are happy to tell you about their craft or handmade works. Don't forget to pay the meters. You can either use the pay by phone app or use one of the nearby meter stations. I got 2hrs for $1.05, not bad. Bring a hat and stay hydrated, it's hot out there folks. Tip for the day- be careful walking, there are sidewalks out, loose pavers and deep crevices along the street, one of which my foot found it's way into and was cut badly, to the point of needing paramedics...

This is my first time attending this annual event and I loved it! The free Dania Beach Arts &…read moreSeafood Celebration is held annually in Frost Park. Since parking there is limited, there is additional parking next door at the Dania Beach Casino. Put on by the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency the festival melds food, art, and entertainment. Entertainment included live musicians performing on the stage and sand sculpting. There were food tents and trucks set up selling all kinds of seafood but also fair food. The art side of the festival featured artists selling works in drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, acrylic, oil, watercolor, and photography. There were also arts and crafts, artisan food, and plant vendors. Local community groups and businesses also had booths passing out information, swag, and samples. I won a free hat from the casino! Many people brought chairs and set up for the day on the field or under the shade of the trees. On the last night of the festival there was a concert featuring a Queen cover band. Held over the entire weekend there was more than enough to keep you occupied for several hours. This is a great family and dog friendly event.

There were many local artisans selling jewelry, crafts, and artwork at reasonable prices. All of the tents provided some shade which was so necessary because it was extremely warm! There were plenty of incredible options for food as well. Of course, a great variety of seafood was available but there were also options for Greek food and other varieties. The music stage was so much bigger than I thought it was going to be and had incredible talent on it throughout the day. The Foreigner cover band was excellent! My favorite part of the event was the chef showcase! Local chefs from the area prepped a few dishes live for the audience. They shared their cooking techniques, tips, and tricks and once the dishes were done they shared tastes of each dish with the crowd. It was so entertaining and everything was delicious!

For the…read moresecond year in a row, we enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of this delightfully decorated home. Over 170,000 lights framed the house and the decorations all over the yard. Many of them were mobile decorations, my favorite being the Christmas gift conveyor out of the Santa's workshop hut. Just ingenious and delightful. The family is very patient and very good with all people on their property. Some want to touch the moving train, the displays, the lights, and they politely say, please do not touch the displays. A great place to get into the Christmas spirit ! It's tough to find parking since this is a private residential neighborhood, but if you are willing to walk a few blocks, you should be able to find a parking space.

I won't go to a rodeo because I don't find abusing animals entertaining but a craft show on the other hand is right up my alley. This is an annual event sponsored by the town of Davie. The event was advertised as having 100 vendors. I don't think there were quite that many but they had a lot. Admission and parking were free. The tents filled the rodeo arena and outside it as well. People were selling plants, floral arrangements, zombie soup mix, jewelry, lights in alcohol bottles, soap, dream catchers, a tiny fairy garden, woodwork, stained glass, baked goods, clothes, bags, and a myriad of other hand made goods. They also had food and drink vendors and bounce houses and kids corner activities for children . The grounds were perfect for the craft show. There were plenty of clean bathrooms. The weather was gorgeous, the vendors were varied, and with the upcoming holidays it was the perfect time to shop. It is good to support the local arts community. This is a nice hometown event perfect for kids and adults.

Once we parked our car, we walked up to a booth; for a fee, you can buy a bucket of mixed veggies to feed the animals. There were free roaming chickens, pigs, tortoise, cows, ponies, and goats. They had picnic tables throughout. There was a BBQ pit; I saw them grilling up ribs. I wouldn't eat there because I saw a couple of chickens pecking at the ribs in the grill when the attendant stepped away. I saw many birthday parties there; a great spot to book a birthday party for the little ones. They also have tractor rides for a fee; they drove us by the cows and we were able to feed and pet them. Pony rides are available for a fee too. They hosts a ton of events; just check their website. We went during Halloween and Christmas. Depending on the season, you can pick fruits and sunflowers. Overall, a fun place to take your little ones.

Parking was $10 for the day in a nearby lot. There was a great variety of booths from gorgeous orchids (one came home with me) to puzzle pins of all descriptions which promoted autism awareness. We were with a friend who is speech pathologist and they even had several choices done specifically for that profession! There were booths of all kinds of fun, handcrafted jewelry, from karat gold rings to funky ear cuffs and jewelry made from bottle glass, booths of cool beachwear and others with fine arts. There was pretty much something for everyone. Frozen lemonade and hotdog vendors were on hand for snack attacks, but the festival was situated in an area full of great restaurants, so you could eat and cool off. Although it's not a huge festival, the variety and quality of goods offered was very nice. I'll definitely plan on going next year.

Lots of food and alcohol tents as well as home improvement, cell phone, and mortgage companies too. Dogs are welcome and the people are friendly. A perfect alternative to the over crowded and priced coconut grove arts festival that has become more corporate and less small town creative over the years. The only negatives (why I'm giving it 4 stars, not 5) about the Weston festival, is that parking was tough, and many of the tables closed down early. Some around 4 after running out of food or products. Still a beautiful outing for a first experience.
