LOCAL GUIDE
One of the beauties of living in South Florida is that outdoor gatherings abound year-round. And in Fort Lauderdale, that means weekends are booked with some of the best communityforward farmers and artisan markets. Whether you’re on the lookout for fresh fruits and veggies, in search of an eye-catching accessory, or want to add a piece of artwork to your abode, options are plentiful. Start with the Garage Sale, hosted at the popular beer garden Rhythm & Vine. Its newly expanded yard—inclusive of a cargo container bar—is home

to the pop-up (hosted every second Sunday of the month), featuring a curated selection of 30 local vendors selling everything from trendy bathing suits to vinyl records to dog bandanas. “In ever-growing South Florida, small and local businesses are easily overlooked,” says founder Marina Poupart. “This event shines a light on the ‘support small and support local’ movement.” After shopping, stay for live acoustic music, bottomless cocktails, and rotating food trucks.
