From the Coral Springs City Commission:
May marks the return of one of our most popular events, Bites-N-Sips! The fun-filled food truck event takes place Friday, May 12, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the Great Lawn of City Hall (9500 W Sample Rd.)
At this year’s event, guests will be invited to view the Art of Data, an exhibit that showcases original artwork from local artists who have taken city data and translated it into unique pieces of art. The Art of Data will be on display in the City Hall Lobby through May.
In partnership with the Veterans Coalition of Coral Springs, the city welcomes “The Moving Wall” Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Sportsplex Park (2575 Sportsplex Dr.) from Friday, May 5, through Sunday, May 7.
