World Cup final, farmers market and collectorfest: Your weekend in Coral Springs
Between the FIFA World Cup final and kids being out of school for the summer, Coral Springs will be busy this weekend.
For programming centered around mind and body wellness ranging from crafting to Pilates, check out Eagles’ Haven. Those looking for live music can find it at Lefty’s, Sharkey’s or the Coconut Creek Casino.
If you’re looking to beat the heat with the kids, you can also visit Cypress Water Park, or brave the heat and visit any of the city’s 49 parks during Parks and Recreation Month.
Here are some activities and ideas you can check out this weekend on Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19:
Saturday
