We sit outside in our shorts and flip flops and watch lighted boats sail past. To quote them it is the "Best show on H2O." The Grand Marshall of this years parade was Mario Lopez. The parade route is 12 miles along and it is viewed by over a million people. This event brings over 50 million dollars to the Broward community. In addition to the parade itself there is many other events all over town associated with the parade, including happy hours, parties, balls, and an auction. All details can be found on the Winterfest Boat parade website. You can pay for seats set up at Birch State Park but I have my parking lot and parade spot that like. My friend I walked up to Las Olas and bought a pizza and some wine coolers and settled in for the spectacle. This year there was over 80 boats and the parade took 2 hours. My favorites were the Ford boat that shot up fireworks, the boat with the giant flamingo and rubber ducky floats, the tiki bar boats, and the grand finale, Santa ridding on his sleigh on top of the world famous Jungle Queen. This parade never fails to delight. This year it was made even more special by its 50 year anniversary. I raise a toast to 50 more!

With a huge opportunity to bring culture to the South Florida community, it was largely missed. Checking in seemed disorganized but once in you walk through a tunnel of dolphins. Spitting you out to the craft section. Prices were as low as 2.00 all the way up to 500.00 with oriental rug stitching. The craft section also serves as the they're for the puppet show. This I thought was charming especially since the team of actors have been putting on shadow puppet shows for over 50 years. Than there's a small beer and wine stall along with an off brand food vendor ran by event staff and Chan's restaurant. All vendors were serving generic Chinese food. Which is a shame for such a rich culinary culture. The loop than puts you to small playgrounds and the King Fu theatre and over to a dinosaur ride section that has nothing to do with the Chinese Lantern Festival. Than it's to the light displays that wraps around the lake. All displays were cute but no where near the displays that could be accomplished. At 20.00 a person the Kung Fu show and Shadow Puppet Show ended up being the two small options worth any time or resources spent at this event.

I am only giving two stars because they do seem to do some charity work in the community. That is admirable. I have had the opportunity to attend games because I won tickets. Well, even sitting in a suite at two different games did not improve my opinion of the Dolpbins. The food in the suite is no good but that is a separate review. I honestly could go on and on and on why I do not like the Dolphins. One reason is they lack spirit. They also don't seem to appreciate their fans. Except the former players who I met. They were very nice and I do wish I remember their names.

I had already walked away to sit down and eat before I realized it. Oh well. Food selection was good but they tend to run out of items by the end of the night. I had a turkey leg, a burger, empanadas and fries. All were good. There isn't much respite from the sun. I would recommend a sun shirt or a towel to cover up or stay in the shade as best as you can. Definitely use sunblock. We saw some severely burned concert goers. The Nashville stage was the only one with shade. It had up and coming artists. It was fun. No VIP area. The Sunset stage was the secondary stage. It had Ice Cube, Dustin Lynch, the Wheeland Brothers, The Fray, and Sons of Legion, among others. The main stage had Russell Dickerson, Colbie Caillat, Kenny Chesney, post Malone, Riley green, uncle cracker etc. As VIP, I had no issues with lines for food, drink or bathrooms. However, getting from one stage to another was a challenge. All the ticket types mix together and there was really only one walkway which made it slow and annoying to go back and forth. There has been mention that they need to have a separate walkway to super vip. I would buy the super vip ticket if they did that. There was one fight that broke out in VIP. I don't notice any other fights. It's crazy- you spend all that money and you still can't get away from the riff raff. I would go to this concert again. Next time I will do the SVIP so I can have a shaded area to view the concert and so that all my food is included that way if I get the wrong burger, ir some too g that I don't really like, I can go again and get something else. They also have an air conditioned tent to get away from the heat a bit. We shared the pool area but that "pool" is more like a bowl of water. I didn't see any filtration system so it's probably full of urine. I never saw them empty or refill it so by Sunday I'm sure it's a cesspool. Yuck. Getting to the concert was easy. We walked from our hotel. At the end of the night they close the Main Street there to let everyone walk out. It was very safe. I don't get any merchandise. Things seemed a bit overpriced and I did not want to hang on to it all day. They have lockers that are expensive. SVIP gets a locker included and they got a concert style insulated mug. I would admit the SVIP isn't much better than the VIP and of course I'd never bet my moneys worth of food and drink, but I would do it for comfort. We shall see about next year. Hopefully I'll be on the early presale list because we went this year. Tickets go up over time so it's cheaper to buy early.

Eight years straight and still one of the best weekends of my year…read more Take a perfect South Florida beach day. Blue water, sand in your shoes, that salty breeze you can't bottle. Now layer in live music from names like Post Malone and Kenny Chesney, plus a crowd that somehow feels massive and tight knit at the same time. That's Tortuga Music Festival. Here's the simplest way to put it If happiness had a ZIP code, it would be the Tortuga beach. Or this one Three days, zero worries, and just enough sunscreen regret to remind you it was real. But what really separates Tortuga is the purpose behind the party. Between sets, you're surrounded by ocean conservation efforts and real education around protecting marine life, especially our sea turtles. You come for the music and leave knowing you accidentally did something good for the planet. Not a bad trade. This year, one honest knock. The main stage sound felt low and at times it was tough to fully catch the performances. You could see the energy, just not always hear it the way you wanted to. A little more volume and this thing goes from very good to elite. Even with that, this is still a five star experience without hesitation. Because it's bigger than just the music. It's friends, family, sun, sand, and moments you end up talking about all year. And the people watching... just WOW! Tortuga isn't just an event. It's a tradition. And I'm already counting down to year nine.
