There is plenty to do in South Florida as we step out of summer. Below you will find a list of some of the top, most talked about outdoor event and activities happening now and coming soon.

Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival

One of the most exciting festivals of the year in South Florida, the Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival takes place at the intersection of Atlantic Ave and SE 4th Ave. With a location as strategic as that, this festival showcases the best of the diverse-yet-complimentary cultures of the two sides of Atlantic Avenue.

The festival is almost-entirely the product of the efforts of the local community – consisting of some of the most prolific store owners, artists, and restauranteurs. It is therefore not a surprise that it is so well-organized and highly managed. Make no mistake, though, while the organizers may be local, people from all over the country (and sometimes even beyond!) come over to the heart of downtown Florida to see the show in action!

Takes place: Sept. 11-12
Address: 330 E Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483

Upper Keys Lionfish Derby & Festival

Organized by the REEF Environmental Education Foundation, the 12th Annual Upper Keys Lionfish Derby & festival is a two-day-long fishing adventure at the gorgeous Postcard Inn Resort and Marina. As the name itself suggests, the theme of this festival is lionfish, and just about every activity here revolves around them.

Open to the public (provided they have bought the tickets), this festival has a plethora of events and activities, which includes (but is not limited to) lionfish tasting sessions, lionfish dissection, fillet and cooking demos, fish-themed arts and crafts, raffle games and prizes, and tons of products on display and available to purchase from over 30 eco-friendly vendors. Last but not the least, South Florida’s famous Soulgrass Band – The Copper Tones will be headlining the live music scene at the venue.

Annual Underwater Music Festival

If you love underwater activities and music, this is the destination for you. Organized and hosted by the combined efforts of local Floridian radio station US1 104.1 FM and the Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce, the festival is a nod to people enjoying diving while also being mindful of the environment and specifically the rapidly dwindling coral reefs. The festival will be held at Looe Key Reef, located around 6 miles south of the Big Pine Key in the larger Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Suitable for both snorkelers and divers, the festival is dedicated to environmentally mindful diving and reef protection. But that doesn’t make it fall short on its entertainment quotient. The Annual Underwater Music Festival has a good number of elements that give its visitors the ultimate bucket-list underwater experience. From the one-of-a-kind conservation concert to the “mermaids” and other characters popping up between waves, this is a place where the level of visual excitement is high and unique.

Takes place: Sept. 18
Address: 27340 Overseas Hwy, Ramrod Key, FL 33042
Phone: 305-872-2215

34th Annual Las Olas Art Fair

Located in the jewel of Fort Lauderdale on Las Olas Boulevard, 34th Annual Las Olas Art Fair basically boils down the best artists in the city to showcase them on a single platform. The venue boasts an eclectic collection of boutiques, art galleries and dining spaces that reflect the multicultural system – from fusion food to Cuban American cuisine and more.

The festival holds its position as one of America’s 100 top art festivals, and there is a valid reason why. For one, it does not just display the art – it also has a meet and greet with the artists who created the work, and learn more about their experience and perspectives, bringing in an extraordinary level of authenticity and involvement. Add to that the ability to window shop as you walk the streets and dine at sidewalk cafes, and you are all set for an amazing trip you will always remember.

Broward’s Best BBQ Spot is Booming

If you live in South Florida, you have surely heard about Juliette Johnson. She is a veteran in the restaurant scene, and in the recent years has transformed the BBQ scene with her one-of-a-kind pop-up stand.

Lickie Stickie BBQ at the Sunday Farmers Market. Feb 14, 2016.

 

Known to her family, friends, and fans as a relentless pit master, Juliette is known to be seen with her Lickie Stickie BBQ pop-up stand set up every Saturday and Sunday – a pursuit that has happily kept her waking before sunrise on days that are ordinarily used for resting. In her own words, neither rain nor sun could stop her from pursuing her passion, as she knows that her customers (who are happy to be known as her fans) too wait for her to show up.

The stand, which primarily offers Caribbean and Southern-style barbecue, gets set up at Volunteer Park in Plantation every Saturday, and at the Veterans’ Park in Tamarac every Sunday. While her pop-up remains open from 9:30am to 3:30pm, be warned – if you are among the many looking for her uber-popular brisket – they get sold out in the first few hours. And while the barbecue is the highlight of her menu, Lickie Stickie also offers other common American delicacies such as fish, ribs, lamb and chicken, along with tasty sides such as baked beans, collard greens, mac and cheese, and of course, grits.

It is probably no surprise that the pop-up has over 300 to 600 visits each day it is open.
As the stand is all set to move to a brand-new brick-and-mortar location, Juliette hopes that her fans too will follow her there.

Chef Juliette has an interesting career. The South Florida resident, who has always been passionate about cooking, and especially barbecues – credits much of her knowledge and expertise to her father, who was a crucial part of family-owned Art’s BBQ back in the 1960s and 1970s. Her first experience came from learning to cook for her brothers, and it only went forward from there. She eventually quit her job 12 years ago to pursue the stand, which now enjoys immense popularity in the region.

Juliette’s main focus are the Caribbean and Southern cuisine, a love she developed from her travels in the US and Caribbean’s. She also happens to have an interesting collection of sauces, most of which are a family secret recipe.

At Leads Online Marketing, we have been long-time fans of Lickie Stickies BBQ, having got our first taste back when it used to be a tiny pop-up operating only on Friday and Saturday nights in the Tubby’s Liquors & Drive-Thru parking lot. It was instant love! The operation moved and expanded to the Tamarac Farmers Market every Saturday, and we were happy to be there when we could be. And the best thing is – even though it is now a massive BBQ pop-up AND restaurant, the good old taste is still the same. Enjoy!

Last March I had an appointment with Lead Online Marketing. Thinking this was just another advertiser promising me the moon I still decided to sit down and talk with Ricky. To my pleasant surprise he was very up front about what he could and could not do. Many other marketers are disingenuous. Once deciding to go with Ricky and his team my website was on the first page of Google organically within 4 months and is now a mainstay there thanks to the great communication and effort from the 'tech' side of Leads online marketing Chris. Chris is great to work with and has done a fantastic job for us. In fact they have done so well for us last year I had them take over my PPC campaign. Last February we had 3 leads total for the month. Today is the 5th of February and I have 16 on schedule. We are coming up on 1 year with Leads Online Marketing and very pleased with my investment and how they are very responsive and courteous to us. Bottom line We are being found online by our customers and business is good Highly recommend

Ricky and his staff at Leads Online Marketing are some of the best people you will ever come across. I am so glad that I got introduced to Ricky almost a year ago. I was looking to do a website and just did not know who , where or what to trust. Luckily, I came across Ricky. His staff is always looking for ideas to help my business. Their web pages are A in design, simplicity, and getting the necessary traffic to your site. They are always on top of things. Whether it is info for your blog or just helpful reminders of social networking ideas. I would highly recommend Leads Online Marketing for all of your online needs.

Any business owner who experienced the startup process of launching a website knows how difficult the job is. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended Leads Online Marketing in Charlotte. I hired them to handle the website design of our company. We had an ambitious design concept for our website, but I was very happy with the outcome. It was even more impressive that they managed to get the website working efficiently within the time frame we gave them. Most of the web designers we've worked with in the past always never completed the project on time, even the most skilled designers. Thus, it is definitely a bonus for us I would gladly recommend this company
