Our Story

The Festival, a non profit event, was founded in 1984 by the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeo to support local charities in the Pompano Beach Area.  Featuring some of the greatest musicians and artists in South Florida, the annual event has become a staple in the community. 

The proceeds of the annual festival stay in the community benefiting 12 great local charities which are listed below.  At the event, you will notice these charities performing various roles to support the festival from selling tickets, t-shirts, and parking to serving our famous Rum Runners and Margarita’s.
