What is happening in Pompano Beach this week
There is a lot to look forward to in Pompano Beach this week, and the headline is a big one. The city’s brand-new skatepark is about to open its gates, and the summer calendar is full of music, sun, and coastal fun to go with it. Here is your quick guide to the days ahead.
The main event: skatepark grand opening
The countdown is nearly over. On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the new 20,000-square-foot, $1.8 million skatepark opens to the public at Community Park, 1701 NE 8th Street. The grand opening begins at 10 a.m. with a ribbon cutting, and the free celebration includes pro skate demos, competitions, giveaways, food trucks, and music.
Professional skateboarders are expected to headline the demos, so it is worth arriving early with your board, a helmet, and plenty of water. Whether you skate or just want to watch, it will be a fun morning for the whole family.
Live music and the arts
The music does not stop after the skatepark. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater continues its summer concert series, so check the schedule for touring acts on the outdoor stage. Downtown, the Cultural Center and galleries like Bailey Contemporary Arts keep the arts scene active with exhibits and events all week.
Beach and water fun
- Swim and fish along the Fisher Family Pier.
- Snorkel or dive the nearby reef line.
- Rent a paddleboard or book a sunset cruise.
Remember that sea turtle nesting season continues, so keep the beach clean, fill in holes, and dim beachfront lights after dark.
Plan your week
