Fort Lauderdale Red White and Brew 4th of July Pub Crawl

Fort Lauderdale, Florida is the Venice of America, named for the network of canals that lace through its neighborhoods and connect to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, Las Olas Boulevard and Himmarshee Village become the center of the official Red, White and Brew bar crawl, with drink specials at 10 of the city’s best bars, live DJs, and a crowd celebrating Independence Day in a city that does waterfront nightlife better than almost anywhere in Florida.

Las Olas Boulevard is one of the most celebrated dining and nightlife streets in South Florida. The tree-lined boulevard runs from downtown Fort Lauderdale east toward the beach through a corridor of upscale restaurants, cocktail bars, and boutique retail that serves the city’s considerable affluent population. On July 4th, with the pub crawl running through Las Olas, the boulevard delivers the polished and social atmosphere that Fort Lauderdale does better than its more famous Miami neighbors.

Himmarshee Village, a few blocks north of Las Olas along SW 2nd Street, is Fort Lauderdale’s most established bar and live music corridor. The neighborhood’s converted warehouse buildings house some of the city’s most beloved local bars and music venues, serving a crowd that is more neighborhood-focused and less tourist-driven than the Las Olas strip. Together, the two areas give the pub crawl route the full range of what Fort Lauderdale’s nightlife has built.

In 2026, the Semiquincentennial marks 250 years of American independence. Fort Lauderdale’s history is tied directly to the American settlement of South Florida, which was one of the last regions of the continental United States to be colonized. Fort Lauderdale was established as a military fort during the Second Seminole War in 1838 and the battles fought in the Everglades just west of the city were some of the most difficult military engagements in American history. The city that grew from that fort into one of the most prosperous in Florida is a genuine American success story.
