Whether its a big outdoor music extravaganza, like Ultra music festival in downtown Miami, or a quiet lawn chair at Jaco Pastoraious park in Oakland Park, music is meant to be heard, outside! Many parks, such as C.B. Smith in Sunrise, have an great array and mixture of outdoor music events throughout the year! CB smith was known for its Concert Green: A five-acre island is home to this 5,000-capacity open-air amphitheater with a 32-foot-by-48-foot stage. A nearby special event field has been the location for the 99.9 KISS Country Chili Cookoff, which includes a concert featuring some of the top acts in country music. The capacity of the special event field is up to 22,500.

A favorite place of mine to see outdoor and free concerts is at Holiday Park in East Fort Lauderdale.The historic War Memorial Auditorium is a multi-purpose facility that is owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale. The recently renovated facility is conveniently located in Holiday Park, at the intersection of Federal Highway and Sunrise Boulevard. During the summer months they have free concerts on the first weekend of the month.

Cruzan Amphitheatre is the music venue in West Palm Beach, Florida. This open air music venue can seat 19,000 people. Many national and brand name acts and legends have played at this venue on tour!
