Coral Springs City Commission. {City of Coral Springs}
From the Coral Springs City Commission:
Six years after the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, we remember the victims and their families who continue to grieve such profound loss.
To honor the memory of those we lost on February 14, 2018, we continue to advocate for better, safer schools. We also extend our full support to the Parkland17 Memorial Foundation, which exists to honor the 17 lives that were lost and to raise critical funds for a meaningful memorial that will be located within the land between Parkland and Coral Springs. Those interested in supporting the foundation may contribute at Parkland17.org.
Celebrating our accomplishments and coming together as a community is why, each year, we host a Community Concert Celebration! On Saturday, February 10, enjoy the best hits from Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, and more featuring former members of Chicago. Attendees may also enjoy food trucks, adult beverages, and lawn games. The concert is free and takes place on the City Hall Lawn. More information can be found at CoralSprings.gov/Concert.
Beads, bling, bites, and beverages will create an immersive experience as a little bit of New Orleans comes to Coral Springs for the city’s first-ever Mardi Party on Saturday, February 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts Courtyard (2855 Coral Springs Drive.)
