FESTIVALS & OUTDOOR EVENTS

Now in its 14th year, Riverwalk Trust will again host Riverwalk Get Downtown, Fort Lauderdale’s largest outdoor cocktail hour, offering the best Flavors of Fort Lauderdale from local restaurants and bars in the Courtyard Plaza at Las Olas, 333 E. Las Olas Blvd. on Friday, April 27, 2012, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Get Downtown will partner with YOLO restaurant, also located in the same plaza. This Spring will be this First Annual THRIVE! Series of Get Downtown, featuring local recreational activities and healthy and organic restaurants. The event will raise funds for the Riverwalk Trust, a non-profit organization that serves as a catalyst in building and nurturing a vibrant community centered along the New River.

For a $20 donation (prepaid online), or $25 at the door, attendees will receive two drink tickets to be redeemed at any YOLO bar, live entertainment and an array of tastes from local restaurants. They will also enjoy various libations including beverages from Budweiser, Wodka Vodka, and Barefoot Wine & Bubbly.
Major supporters include Go Riverwalk magazine, 101.5 Lite FM, YOLO, Premier Beverage, Stephen’s Distributing, Scott Barfield Photography and Stiles Corporation.

Tickets may be purchased in advance online at GoRiverwalk.com or at the door the evening of the event. Admission is complimentary for all Riverwalk Trust members.
