Discover 7 things to do in Flagler Village, from the monthly Artwalk to Sistrunk Marketplace and the street murals of FAT Village.
Saturday afternoon: you grab a craft beer at Sistrunk Marketplace, walk past a freshly painted mural of a giant octopus, and catch a live band in a converted warehouse. That is a normal weekend in Flagler Village, Fort Lauderdale's creative center just north of downtown. The FAT Village arts district, MASS District, and walkable Brightline station are all here. These are seven ways to spend your Flagler Village weekend.
1. Explore the FAT Village Arts District in Flagler Village
NW 1st Avenue between 4th and 6th Streets | Free
FAT Village (Flagler, Arts, Technology) is the creative heart of Fort Lauderdale. Warehouses converted into galleries, studios, and creative spaces line the streets. The monthly Artwalk on the last Saturday of each month fills the district with open studios, live music, food trucks, and thousands of visitors. Between Artwalks, the galleries keep regular hours and are worth browsing any weekend.
2. Eat Your Way Through Sistrunk Marketplace & Brewery
115 NW 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale
This food hall and craft brewery in the MASS District brings together multiple vendors under one roof. Korean BBQ, artisan pizza, poke bowls, and craft ice cream are just the start. The on-site brewery produces rotating taps, and the communal tables make it easy to strike up conversations with neighbors. Live music and pop-up events happen regularly.
3. Walk the Mural Trail
Throughout Flagler Village
Flagler Village's streets double as an outdoor gallery. Colorful murals cover building walls throughout the neighborhood, with new pieces appearing regularly. Start on NE 2nd Avenue and work your way through the side streets. The murals range from abstract art to detailed portraits, and each one tells a story about the neighborhood's creative spirit.
4. Visit Peter Feldman Park
NE 4th Avenue and 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale | Free
This neighborhood park serves as Flagler Village's community gathering spot. Green space, shade trees, and a playground make it perfect for families. Weekend mornings see joggers, dog walkers, and parents with kids enjoying the open space. The park also hosts seasonal community events and farmers markets.
5. Grab Drinks at a Craft Brewery
Multiple locations in Flagler Village and MASS District
The craft beer scene in Flagler Village is thriving. Sistrunk Marketplace brews on-site, and several taprooms and bars in the MASS District pour local and regional craft beers. Saturday afternoons are the perfect time to hop between spots, sample flights, and meet other residents exploring the neighborhood.
6. Take the Brightline to Miami or West Palm Beach
Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station, NW 2nd Avenue
One of Flagler Village's biggest perks is walkable access to the Brightline station. A 30-minute train ride gets you to Miami's MiamiCentral station, and 35 minutes north puts you in West Palm Beach. Weekend day trips for dining, shopping, or beach exploration are effortless. Trains run frequently on weekends.
7. Browse the NE 2nd Avenue Corridor
NE 2nd Avenue from 4th to 13th Street
This stretch of NE 2nd Avenue is Flagler Village's main commercial spine. Coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants, and fitness studios line the sidewalk.
