From the Coral Springs City Commission:
We hope everyone has had a great start to the New Year! There many events taking place throughout February like outdoor concerts, festivals, and fitness opportunities.
Are you looking for a fun way to meet your fitness goals while meeting new friends? Check out Sunset Yoga at the ArtWalk in Downtown Coral Springs every Saturday evening from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Sponsored by the City of Coral Springs CRA, this free Yoga class is taught by Juliana Trejo from Yoga 4 Life Studios West. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, bring a yoga mat and a bottle of water. Registration is not required, but participants must complete a waiver.
This month marks the second anniversary of the tragedy that forever changed the fabric of our community. It is important to reflect, remember, and take time to honor the lives lost to violence at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Regardless of what you plan to do on February 14, we ask that you take a moment out of your day to do something positive to promote hope, encouragement, and healing.
Our final two public art installations from The Power of Art series will be unveiled on February 14. The first is Big Picture: Resilience, by award-winning photojournalist for the Miami Herald, Carl Juste.
The Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency is excited to will host its third annual Innovate Downtown on Friday, February 21, at 6:00 p.m. Local creators will enter a competition to feature products, innovative solutions, and ideas to a panel of judges.

The fun takes place on the Great Lawn of City Hall, starting at 6 p.m. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for this free, acoustic performance (food and spirits will be available for purchase).
