What's Happening in Pompano Beach This Weekend, November 13-15

Friday night: Music Under the Stars, back on the Great Lawn

The weekend opens with the city's free monthly outdoor concert series. Music Under the Stars runs Friday, November 13 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM on the Great Lawn at the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and Pompano Beach Boulevard, the beachfront green just west of the pier, with the November edition sponsored by Briny Irish Pub. The performer is Laura Goodstone, a modern country-rock artist with a touch of rock, soul, and blues, per the city's Parks and Recreation listing. The series is free on the second Friday of each month, so bring a blanket; parking fees may apply at the beachfront lots.

Also Friday: Gutenberg! closing weekend opens, and the Enchanted Fairytale Senior Prom

The Pompano Players' South Florida premiere of Gutenberg! The Musical! enters its final weekend Friday, November 13 at 7:00 PM at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, 50 W Atlantic Boulevard, with the run ending Sunday, November 15. Saturday holds a 2:00 PM matinee and a 7:00 PM show, and the closing matinee lands Sunday afternoon.

Friday evening also hosts the Enchanted Fairytale Senior Prom at the E. Pat Larkins Center, 520 Dr. MLK Jr. Boulevard, at 6:00 PM: a seated dinner, music, dancing, and community connections for adults 40 and older. Tickets are $30 per person, available at the center.

Saturday morning: the Green Market season opens

Saturday is the market morning. The Green Market Pompano Beach opens its 2026-27 season Saturday, November 14 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on the Cultural Center campus, free to attend, with free lawn yoga from 9:00 to 10:00 AM, kids' crafts from 10:00 AM to noon, and a DJ on the lawn. The market then runs the second and fourth Saturdays through April, so this is the first of the season. It is the city's market, listed on the official events calendar, and the Pompano Beach Historical Society promotes the opening too.

Two more free morning markets join it. The Holiday Handcrafts Bazaar runs Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Charlotte Burrie Civic Center, 2669 N Federal Highway, with 25-plus handcrafted vendors for early holiday shopping. And Treasures & Trinkets, the city's outdoor flea market, runs 9:00 AM to noon in the West Parking Lot of the Emma Lou Olson Civic Center, 1801 NE 6th Street.

Saturday afternoon and evening: Smooth Sounds Soiree, Gutenberg! twice, Southern Blood

Saturday afternoon adds the Smooth Sounds Soiree, a live music afternoon at Hunters Manor Park on the parks and recreation events calendar. Gutenberg! The Musical! runs twice at the Cultural Center, 2:00 and 7:00 PM. And Galuppi's books Southern Blood, a southern rock set built on 70s and 80s hits, on the Main Stage at 1103 N Federal Highway, with RSVP seating per the venue's live music schedule.

Sunday: Gutenberg! closes, and two Galuppi's shows

Sunday is the gentle close. Gutenberg! The Musical! plays its final matinee at the Cultural Center, ending the Pompano Players' run. At Galuppi's, Dirty Faced Kid plays hits from the 60s through the 90s and beyond with no entry fee, while the dinner-show room hosts the Linda Ronstadt Tribute with Sylvia Z and The North 40 at $49.95 per person, with an optional three-course dinner. Tickets and seating are through the venue.

Beachfront note: the lot is closed, the shuttle is the answer

One logistics note for the beachgoers. The city's beach parking lot north of Atlantic Boulevard closed permanently Monday, November 9 as construction prep begins for the W Pompano Beach Hotel & Residences. The city's answer is the free Fishing Village Shuttle, the on-demand Circuit service that runs between the designated service area and the Fisher Family Pier and beach, with two Weekend Park & Ride locations at City Hall, 100 W Atlantic Boulevard, and in Old Town. That is the route to Music Under the Stars and the pier this weekend: park downtown, ride free.

The Pomp this week: Costco fires back in court

The Pomp's news this week is a new filing in an old fight. On November 6, 2026, Costco told Broward Circuit Court that the city's defense of blocking its proposed store at The Pomp has, in the retailer's words, "zero merit" and leans on "legal excuses made up after the fact." The timeline so far, sourced: the Planning and Zoning Board rejected the store 4-3 on June 24, the City Commission deadlocked 3-3 on July 28, Costco sued in August, the city filed a 38-page response on October 7, and Costco's reply landed in early November. No ruling has been published as of this writing, so the honest statement is: the case is still moving, and this week it moved on paper.

The rest of the standing picture, unchanged this week:

Leasing: Lumio Pompano Beach, the 423-unit apartment community at The Pomp, remains open and actively leasing, per the developer's project pages.
Open: Topgolf Pompano Beach (400 Lucky Lane) and Harrah's Pompano Beach casino remain the operating anchors on the site.
Industrial phase: the first four buildings at The Pomp, about 620,700 square feet from Rockpoint and Frampton, opened in May 2026.
Housing: the Lennar-affiliated Millrose plan for 344 condos and 82 townhomes remains queued behind the sales-center application process.
Live! district: no new news this week beyond the slimmer four-structure renderings reported in the October 30 design review preview, covered in last week's roundup.
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.

That is the honest picture: the district is opening in pieces, and the biggest unresolved question on the site, the Costco proposal, is now a court case that keeps trading briefs. Nothing here is a forecast.

Save the dates: what is coming up

A few verified anchors for the weeks ahead. The Green Market continues its season on the second and fourth Saturdays, with the next one November 28. Old Town Untapped holds its Holiday Edition Friday, December 4 from 6:00 to 10:00 PM in Old Town at Bailey Contemporary Arts, 41 NE 1st Street, with the Untapped Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6:00 PM and the "Waist to Chest: A Christmas Spectacular" holiday entertainment. And the 64th Annual Greater Pompano Beach Chamber Holiday Boat Parade sails Friday, December 11 starting at 6:00 PM on the Intracoastal, with a "Party in the U.S.A." theme and 50-plus decorated boats. The galleries stay open through the season: "We are pressed into lines" at Bailey Contemporary Arts runs through November 27, and "Everything Esther," honoring the actress Esther Rolle, continues at Ali Cultural Arts Center through February 23, 2027.

The bottom line this weekend.

Mid-November in Pompano is the season turning over: the Green Market comes back Saturday morning, the last free concert on the Great Lawn until the New Year plays Friday, the Cultural Center closes its big musical Sunday, and the holiday calendar already has its December dates on the board. The beach lot is closed and the shuttle is the workaround, and across the street The Pomp's Costco case traded its newest brief.
