What's Happening in Pompano Beach This Weekend, October 9-11

Friday night on the beachfront: Music Under the Stars is free

The weekend kicks off on the Great Lawn, the green space at the beach on the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and Pompano Beach Boulevard, steps from the Fisher Family Pier. The City of Pompano Beach Parks and Recreation calendar has Music Under the Stars, presented by Briny Irish Pub, running Friday, October 9 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM with the Speaker Box Band playing R&B, pop, and classic rock. It is free, it is outdoors, and the setting is the beachfront at dusk: bring a chair or a blanket, and walk the pier before or after. No cooler restrictions are published on the city listing; read the event page for the details.

Also Friday: Beyond The Beatles at the Cultural Center

The Pompano Beach Cultural Center, in the heart of Old Town, hosts "Beyond The Beatles" on Friday, October 9 as part of its 2026-2027 Live Theater and Concerts season. It is a multimedia tribute concert covering the solo careers of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, backed by a live band and a screen of archival footage. The Cultural Center's season page lists the full schedule and ticket links. From the condo it is about a 12-minute drive into Old Town.

Saturday morning: a golf tournament on Palm Aire's own fairways

The most local item on the calendar is a golf tournament, because it happens right here: the TLU769 Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament tees off Saturday, October 10 at 6:30 AM at 3701 Oaks Clubhouse Dr, the Palm Aire Country Club clubhouse less than five minutes from unit 610. It is a scholarship fundraiser run by the local union chapter, and it is listed on the city events calendar. Registration details live on the event listing; if golf on our own fairways sounds like a good weekend, that is the one.

Saturday: watercolor class at Bailey Contemporary Arts

For a quieter Saturday, Bailey Contemporary Arts in Old Town runs its Watercolor Techniques class on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, which puts one on the calendar for October 10. BaCA is the city's small contemporary art space on NE 1st Street; the Cultural Center's events site carries the class listing with time and registration. It is a well-worn Pompano habit: start with a class, then walk Old Town for lunch.

Sunday night under the shell: Postmodern Jukebox at The Amp

The marquee ticket of the weekend is Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, The Amp, at Community Park, 1806 NE 6th St. The city's official event page lists the show for Sunday, October 11 at 8:00 PM. A note from experience: some third-party ticketing aggregators have floated a Saturday time for this one, so confirm the date and time with The Amp's official ticketer, AXS, before you buy. The Amp is the roughly 3,000-seat amphitheater that reopened in 2022 under its tensile fabric canopy, the best outdoor music room in town.

The Pomp, at the edge of the neighborhood: what has actually changed

Since The Pomp sits on the old Pompano Park harness track site, minutes from Palm Aire, the roundup keeps a running tab on what is open, what is building, and what the developer and the city have actually decided. As of this week, sourced to published reporting through late September 2026:

Open: Topgolf Pompano Beach (400 Lucky Lane) grand-opened December 2023 with 102 hitting bays and remains the anchor that draws the crowds, and Harrah's Pompano Beach casino operates on site in its renovated form.
Under construction, no date: the Live! at The Pomp entertainment district, planned to hold venues like Sports & Social and a PBR Cowboy Bar, is building, though the project's plan was scaled back in July 2026 to four buildings and about 170 parking spaces. No opening date has been announced.
Land bought: Millrose Properties, a Lennar affiliate, closed a $50 million land purchase in January 2026 to build 344 condos and 82 townhomes on the site. Construction dates have not been announced.
Decided: a proposed Costco at The Pomp was rejected 4-3 by the city's Planning and Zoning Board in July 2026.
The master plan: roughly 4,000 residential units, about 1.3 million square feet of retail and entertainment, about 1.4 million square feet of office, and two hotels, built out in phases over several years.

That is the honest picture: the district is opening in pieces, and the pieces that are open are the ones doing the work right now. Nothing here is a forecast, and nothing here should be read as one.

Save the dates: what is coming up

A few verified anchors for the weeks ahead. The Drone Show Extravaganza, the city's big beachfront light show, returns Saturday, November 7 for Veterans Day weekend, its fifth year. The Green Market at the Cultural Center does not run in October; its season opens Saturday, November 14. Old Town Untapped, the first-Friday sample-and-social in Old Town Square, held its October edition on October 2, so the next one is the first Friday of November. Later this month the city's Halloween calendar fills in: Boo Bash at Community Park on October 24 and Horse and Hound on October 25, both listed on the city's fall events blog.

The bottom line this weekend.

Friday night is free and on the grass at the beach. Saturday has a scholarship golf tournament on Palm Aire's own fairways and a watercolor class in Old Town. Sunday night belongs to Postmodern Jukebox under The Amp's canopy, if you confirm the date with the venue. And The Pomp keeps building in phases across the street.
