As summer gives way to a new season, the calendar begins filling with returning favorites, new performances, outdoor adventures, and experiences worth planning a trip around. From community events and live entertainment to a one-of-a-kind attraction, there are plenty of reasons to visit this fall and beyond.
Welcome Back, Old Favorites
The arrival of fall brings the return of many favorite recurring events. Enjoy live music near the beach at Music Under the Stars, explore art, food, and entertainment during Old Town Untapped, or spend a Saturday morning browsing the Green Market.
These events offer an easy way to experience the community, meet local makers, and add something special to a weekend getaway.
Halloween also brings family activities, costume contests, seasonal treats, and evening celebrations. Explore our guide to Halloween fun in Pompano Beach to see what’s planned.
A New Season of Arts and Entertainment
The curtain is rising on another full season of arts and entertainment. The Pompano Players return to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center with a new lineup of professional theater, while The AMP welcomes nationally known performers and touring acts to its covered, open-air stage.
Exit 36 Slam Poetry Festival brings poets from across the country together for several days of performances, workshops, and competition. The Cultural Center, Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA), the Ali Cultural Arts Center, and The Hive Black Box Theater add even more theater, concerts, exhibitions, comedy, film, and spoken word to the calendar.

Add Something New to Your Beach Day
Just across the street from the Fishing Village, the Jellyfish Museum offers an indoor experience unlike anything else in the country. Visitors can step into the fascinating world of jellyfish through illuminated exhibits showcasing their movement, beauty, and remarkable biology.
Its location makes it easy to pair a museum visit with a beach day, a walk along the Fisher Family Pier, and waterfront dining. It’s an unexpected addition to a classic beach day and an excellent option when you’re ready for a break from the sun.
Make the Most of the Outdoors
The return of milder weather makes fall an ideal time to enjoy the outdoors. Spend the day relaxing on the beach, go snorkeling at Wahoo Bay, explore the waterways by kayak or paddleboard, or take a scenic ride aboard the Pompano Beach Water Taxi.
Visitors can also fish from the pier, head beneath the surface on a diving excursion, or simply enjoy a meal overlooking the water. With sunshine, ocean breezes, and warm temperatures continuing through the season, there’s no need to leave the outdoors behind when summer ends.
