The Pompano Catch

Memorial Day weekend in Pompano Beach. Here's what's happening:
🎤 Sam Barber at The Amp Friday night
🎉 Free Emancipation Day block party at the Ali on Saturday
🎨 Free acrylic painting for kids at BaCA
🎶 Happy Together Tour (60+ Billboard hits) Wednesday at The Amp
🎖️ Memorial Day Parade Monday at 9 AM — Atlantic Blvd to the cemetery
Plus a hidden teahouse in Old Town that has a Himalayan salt cave inside it. Yes, really.
Turtle nesting season is in full swing. The babies find the ocean by following moonlight. Without Pompano's beach lighting rules, they'd walk toward a parking lot instead. We've all been there.
