What's Happening in Pompano Beach This Weekend, October 23-25

Friday night: The Wilburys tribute at the Cultural Center

The weekend's first ticketed show is The Wilburys, A Traveling Tribute at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, 50 W Atlantic Boulevard in Old Town, Friday, October 23 at 7:30 PM. It is a tribute to the Traveling Wilburys, the one-album supergroup of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, covering songs like Handle with Care and End of the Line. Tickets run $45 standard, $55 premium, and $65 platinum through the Cultural Center's box office, Pompano Beach Live. From the condo it is about a 12-minute drive into Old Town.

Also Friday: a free Monster Mash dance in town

The City of Pompano Beach Parks and Recreation Department's Therapeutic Recreation program hosts Monster Mash Dance 2026 on Friday, October 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center, 1801 NE 6th Street. It is free, it is for kids and individuals 13 and up with developmental disabilities, and it includes games, dancing, and a costume contest. Admission is free but registration is required, so grab the parks event page before heading over. It is the same address as the big Saturday event at Community Park, which makes this building the weekend's home base for Halloween energy.

Saturday night: Boo Bash at Community Park, free and family-sized

The marquee event of the weekend is Boo Bash, the city's free family Halloween celebration, Saturday, October 24 from 4:00 to 9:00 PM at Pompano Community Park, 1801 NE 6th Street, the same park that hosts The Amp. Parks and Recreation runs it with the Broward Sheriff's Office and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, and the city describes rides, hayrides, and a costume contest. It is on the same open lawn where the Caribbean Fest landed last weekend, about 10 minutes from Palm Aire.

Saturday daytime: watercolor in Old Town, pumpkins by the pier

For a quieter Saturday, the Watercolor Techniques class runs at Ali Cultural Arts Center on NE 4th Street, every second and fourth Saturday, which puts it on the calendar for October 24; the Arts calendar carries the time and registration. And at the beach, Pier 6 Rooftop in the Fishing Village district hosts Pumpkins & Pilates at 10:00 AM on Saturday, a ticketed rooftop session with a free apple cider spritz, right near the Fisher Family Pier at 222 N Pompano Beach Boulevard. A common Pompano rhythm: watercolor in the morning, Old Town lunch, Boo Bash at the park by late afternoon.

Sunday: the Horse & Hound Costume Event and a Four Seasons tribute

Sunday, October 25 runs on two tracks. Out in the equestrian corner of town, the Horse & Hound Costume Event at Sand & Spurs Equestrian Park, 1600 NE 5th Avenue, runs 3:00 to 7:00 PM with costume contests and a horse show, a free Parks and Recreation event for anyone who wants to meet the horses. Back in Old Town, December '63: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Tribute plays the Cultural Center. A note from experience: the city's official event page lists 7:30 PM, while the box office, Pompano Beach Live, lists a 2:00 PM matinee, so confirm the time when you book.

The Pomp this week: a new filing in the Costco case

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. This week's item is a legal one. On October 11, 2026, the City of Pompano Beach filed its response in the litigation over the proposed Costco at The Pomp, arguing the chain failed to prove traffic safety and zoning compliance for the 18.65-acre site in the development district. That follows the 4-3 rejection of the roughly 163,000-square-foot store by the city's Planning and Zoning Board in July 2026. Sourced to TAPinto Pompano Beach, October 11, 2026.

The rest of the standing picture, unchanged this week:

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.
Opened this year: the first phase of industrial buildings at The Pomp, four buildings totaling about 620,700 square feet from Rockpoint and Frampton, opened in May 2026.
Under construction: the Live! at The Pomp entertainment district is building, though the plan was scaled back in July 2026 to four buildings and about 170 parking spaces. No opening date has been announced.
Apartments: the 423-unit community on the site, now named Lumio Pompano Beach, was slated for completion around July 2026 with leasing underway since early 2026, per the developer's project page.
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.
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 Amp picks back up Monday, October 26 with CAKE at 8:00 PM, and BOYNEXTDOOR plays the same stage Sunday, November 1, a show the city lists as sold out. Halloween weekend itself brings the Pier 6 rooftop's Nightmare on Pier 6 party and a Day of the Dead-themed celebration in the Fishing Village, both on the Pier 6 events calendar. Then the big one: the Drone Show Extravaganza returns Saturday, November 7, its fifth year, with about 500 drones over the ocean just south of the Fisher Family Pier, free and family-friendly. And the Green Market at the Cultural Center opens its season Saturday, November 14, running the second and fourth Saturdays through April.

The bottom line this weekend.

Friday night pairs a tribute concert in Old Town with a free Monster Mash in town. Saturday stacks a free Boo Bash at Community Park with watercolor and pier-side pilates. Sunday is the horse costume event and a Four Seasons tribute. And The Pomp keeps moving, this week in the courtroom across the street.
