Tamarac invites residents to celebrate the season with free family-friendly events
Tamarac, Florida – With a festive schedule of activities that promises excitement for the entire family, the City of Tamarac is getting ready to embrace the warmth of spring. Starting this March, the community is encouraged to participate in a series of events combining outdoor fun with seasonal celebrations.

The first event is scheduled for Friday, March 7, at Caporella Park, located at 5200 Prospect Road, from 7 to 9 p.m. The band Hotter Than July will pay tribute to Stevie Wonder during this outdoor concert. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets so they may enjoy the musical performances alongside many food vendors and inflatable rides. Though the event is free, guests are recommended to use the overflow lot at 2400 NW 53rd Street since venue parking is limited.

The community may get together Friday, March 14, at 6:30 p.m., to see the Hollywood hit “Despicable Me 4” on a huge inflatable screen. Pre-movie lawn games and local food trucks will also be part of the evening to guarantee a fun experience for moviegoers of all ages.
April brings the much awaited Wet & Wild Egg Splash at the Caporella Aquatic Center, 9300 NW 58th St. Set for Saturday, April 5, at 10 a.m., this unique event encourages youngsters aged 2 to 10 to explore a poolside egg hunt under age-appropriate groupings.
