Fort Lauderdale's events scene stretches from black-tie to barefoot. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is one of the busiest theaters in the country, hosting Broadway tours, concerts, and comedy on the New River. Revolution Live anchors the club circuit downtown with touring rock, hip-hop, and electronic acts. On the sand, the Tortuga Music Festival brings country music's biggest stars to Fort Lauderdale Beach each spring, with conservation programming built into the party. Las Olas Boulevard supplies the restaurant-and-gallery stroll, and the year-round boating culture means waterfront bars with live music are never more than a bridge away.
