1. 🏛️ The Florida Land Boom That Built Hollywood — Free Lecture This Month

The Hollywood Historical Society's 2026 Lecture Series presents "The Florida Land Boom, a Century Later" — a free talk by Dr. Evan P. Bennett, historian and Florida Atlantic University professor, at the Marta-Beth Friedman Stirling Road Library. The lecture dives into the 1920s real estate frenzy that literally created the City of Hollywood from scratch — when visionary developer Joseph Young purchased thousands of acres of South Florida land and built an entire city from the ground up. With a $2 billion development wave reshaping Hollywood right now, the parallels to today are impossible to ignore.

Free to attend — check hollywoodfl.org for the exact date and time.

2. 🌊 Everything You Can Do on the Hollywood Broadwalk This Summer — The Ultimate Guide

Hollywood Beach's legendary 2.5-mile Broadwalk is one of America's great free experiences — and there's so much more to it than most people know. This summer: carry a cocktail the entire way (perfectly legal!), rent a surrey bike for the family, snorkel the artificial reef just 300 feet offshore, catch free concerts Wed–Sun at the Hollywood Beach Theatre, watch sea turtle tracks in the early morning, get a massage at Massage from Heaven mid-walk, and eat your way through dozens of beachside restaurants.

All free or very affordable. All right here. No plane ticket required.
