Join us for Old Town Untapped, Pompano Beach’s monthly Craft Brew & Arts Festival! Old Town Untapped was originally created to highlight Pompano’s various craft breweries but has since grown to feature many other local vendors, live music by local bands, a DJ, craft beer, food trucks, local artists and much more! On the first Friday of every month, “Old Town” in Pompano Beach becomes the epicenter for art, food, and music!
Each event features live music, a DJ, craft beer, food trucks, arts & crafts vendors, and gallery tours at Bailey Contemporary Arts (BaCA). Old Town Untapped takes place at NE 1st Street and N. Flagler Avenue at 6 – 10 pm and is free for all ages to attend. Learn more at www.pompanobeacharts.org
