LOA Update

Eat, Shop, Enjoy, Live & Stay on Las Olas

Well, I don’t even know where to start as there have been and will be so many more
fantastic events on Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale this year...

I hope you all had the opportunity to go to the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival,
which was held on Friday, April 19th. The boulevard was packed with foodies
and spirits connoisseurs all of whom enjoyed a perfectly delectable evening. The
proceeds went to the American Lung Association which helps change lives through
education, advocacy & research. This is one of the Las Olas Association’s biggest
events of the year!
