  • Go on a full-moon kayak tour at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
  • Bring your kids to Funky Fish Ocean Camp
  • On June 17, take part in the Stonewall Pride Parade and Street Festival in Wilton Manors to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community
  • Celebrate the Fourth of July with games, arts and crafts, big-name bands and more at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Fourth of July Spectacular, ending with fireworks at 8:45 p.m.

All the Ways Carnival Cruise Line Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday

This year, Carnival Cruise Line celebrates America’s 250th anniversary with special patriotic programming, and passengers are invited to take part in the festivities.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
