Marine Industry Day is a free family-oriented event organized by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida that includes fun, interactive experiences with numerous marine-related activities, live music, children’s areas, educational games and several popular food trucks. Its goal is to celebrate and raise awareness the region’s vibrant marine industry.
This year’s event takes place on Saturday, June 17, from noon-5 p.m. at Esplanade Park in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The festivities, which include a pirate show, propeller races, water taxi rides, face painting, antique motors, boat displays and much more, were attended by more than 2,500 people last year.
