Free ‘Untapped’ festivities in Pompano with fire fountain

For a fun evening out that's friendly for your wallet, direct yourself to downtown Pompano Beach, where you'll delight in entertainment, food trucks, and art displays indoors and outdoors as part of Old Town Untapped events. The events are usually 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. the first Fridays of the month, except for summer. Entry is free.

While Untapped is on break, Backyard Jam events are featured.

Untapped events often include a display of a fire fountain with water spouts, lights and flames, weather permitting.
