A RIVERBOAT CRUISE TO AN ISLAND ADVENTURE

JungleQueen.com | (954) 462-5596

Since 1935 FORT LAUDERDALE


Many years ago, the City of Hollywood was dubbed a “City of the Future” because its diversity most resembled what experts predicted all of America would look like in 2025. Hollywood was proud of this distinction back then, and as we approach 2025, the City celebrates its rich diversity and reputation as a welcoming community where people of all backgrounds and beliefs feel comfortable. Hollywood has emerged as a municipal leader for LGBTQ+ equality. Each year, the City partners with the Hollywood LGBTQ+ Council on the “My Hollywood Pride” event that includes a Progressive Pride Flag Raising Ceremony at City Hall. Hollywood was the first in the state to fly the Progress Pride flag and display a Pride Youth Tapestry created by local youth on the theme of what Pride means to them. The City continues to demonstrate its commitment toward progress and equity for everyone. Again this year, the City earned a perfect score of 100 points on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index (MEI). The MEI evaluates how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ+ residents and employees. The ratings are based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement, and leadership on LGBTQ+ equality. Hollywood is a great place to live, work, and play, offering easy access to the best of South Florida, while preserving its unique hometown charm. With more than six miles of blue wave beaches, a historic oceanfront Broadwalk, and an eclectic downtown with one-of-a-kind restaurants, entertainment, shops and art galleries, Hollywood truly has something for everyone. Hollywood and its Community Redevelopment Agency recognize that small businesses are the foundation for strong communities. As such, we are proud to partner with the GFLGLCC to promote the success and growth of business enterprises that share the values of inclusivity and equality of opportunity for all. Hollywood was founded in 1925 by a visionary leader who wanted to create a dream city by the sea for everyone. The future is bright in Hollywood as it strives to be that dream destination for visitors, residents, and business owners who support efforts to end prejudice, respect the rights of all people, and celebrate the diversity and richness that is Hollywood, Florida. Sincerely,

Josh Levy Mayor of Hollywood | 32 |

CITY OF

100 North Andrews Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 (954) 828-5314 dtrantalis@fortlauderdale.gov

Dear Friends, On behalf of my fellow members of the Fort Lauderdale City Commission and the citizens of our great city, I am pleased to welcome you to the shores of greater Fort Lauderdale! In this region of South Florida, you’ll find one of the highest concentrations of same-sex households in the country, and we welcome in an average of over 1.3 million LGBTQ+ visitors each year. We also pride ourselves as an intersection to the world where 120 different languages are spoken, and African American, Caribbean, Afro-Latino, Native American, Central American, and South American-influenced culture and diversity abound. In Fort Lauderdale, you can be who you are without fear of reproach. The city boasts a stalwart human rights ordinance that bans discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in areas of employment, housing, and public accommodations. This critical legal protection is now stronger than the countywide human rights ordinance. Fort Lauderdale also continues to receive back-to-back perfect scores on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index that rates cities’ performance on key LGBTQ+ issues. Fort Lauderdale is also firmly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Along with the many LGBTQ+-owned businesses that you will find in this guide, greater Fort Lauderdale is the proud home to the Sunshine Cathedral, “the world’s largest progressive queer church.” We’re also honored to have the Stonewall National Museum and Archives, which is the largest LGBTQ+ circulating library in the United States, and the World AIDS Museum, the only museum dedicated to telling the story of the disease and those affected by it. I hope you have an enjoyable and memorable time with us in greater Fort Lauderdale. Welcome home! Yours,

Dean J. Trantalis Mayor

FROM WATERFRONT MUSIC FESTIVALS TO BOAT SHOWS, FOOD AND WINE FAIRS, NEIGHBORHOOD ART WALKS, SPORTS AND LGBTQ+ SPECIFIC EVENTS.


GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE EVENTS Greater Fort Lauderdale plays host to a number of events worth traveling for. From waterfront music festivals to boat shows, food and wine fairs, neighborhood art walks, and pro sports games, the Greater Fort Lauderdale events calendar is constantly full.

LGBTQ-Specific Events

Throughout the year, you’ll find spectacular annual events like Pride Fort Lauderdale, the state’s oldest Pride celebration, takes place February 8th-10th 2024. Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival takes place on June 15th, 2024. Flotarama has its 5th Annual Flotilla on June 8th, 2024. FlockFest is planning their annual beach party with over 800 floats! The annual OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival takes place in October. These are just a few of the many events we’ll host in 2024.

All Welcoming Events

On April 5th-7th 2024, Tortuga Music Festival puts on a threeday concert in the sand at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park to raise money for ocean conservation and research by bringing big-name

acts like Tim McGraw and Luke Bryan. Fort Lauderdale beach is also the locale of the annual Fort Lauderdale Air Show, starring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels May 11th & 12th,2024, and October 30thNovember 2nd 2024, the largest in-water boat show in the world, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, brings more than 1,500 boats (including pretty swanky superyachts) to marinas and waterways around the city. Greater Fort Lauderdale also knows how to turn up the dial and throw memory-making holiday events, like the 4th of July Spectacular on Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Oceanside Park (complete with bands, a kids zone, and a 23-minute firework show). Perhaps the most anticipated event of the year is a Christmas favorite, the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade, dubbed the “Best Show on H2O.” More than a million viewers tune in to watch decorated boats of all sizes, from mega-yachts to barges and paddle boards, parade along the 12-mile route. Catch the spectacle in person if you can. In early January, the week-

long Visit Lauderdale Food & Wine Festival places the county’s top and emerging chefs and restaurateurs on prime display through poolside BBQs, bar competitions, and grand tastings at the beach. And if you’re visiting in the spring, downtown Fort Lauderdale turns into a fourblock street fair helmed by the city’s best chefs and restaurants during the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival. In addition to eating your way around town, you can also sample a selection of more than 100 wines from international wineries while dancing to live music and DJs. In summer, post up on the sand in Oakland Park for free, familyfriendly concerts and food trucks, or enjoy weekend live music along the Broadwalk in Hollywood, where movie night takes place on Fridays at ArtsPark at Young Circle. Friday Night Sound Waves brings free music, a makers market, and food vendors to Fort Lauderdale Beach every Friday, while the in Hollywood attracts some of the hottest events in town year-round, including big-name acts like standup comedian Amy Schumer, Alicia Keys, Green Day, and Bruce Springsteen. Sports are just as much a fabric of Greater Fort Lauderdale as the beaches. Snag front-row seats to both Division 1 college teams as well as the pros like the Florida Panthers ice hockey team, who

play from October through April at the FLA Live Arena, which doubles as a concert venue for some of the biggest shows in South Florida.

From Caribbean cuisine and South American steakhouses to Southern comfort food and locally caught fish, visitors to the area have ample opportunities for culinary adventures.
