Las Olas Outdoor Gourmet Market returns
for 2007!
The extraordinary success of the Las Olas Outdoor Gourmet Market exceeded the most optimistic hopes of organizers last
year. In fact, the outdoor market, located initially in the parking lot of The Las Olas Chemist at 1201 E. Las Olas, grew more
popular each month.
Braving the winter cold of South Florida (or maybe not!)
the Outdoor Gourmet Market returns in February with an expanded schedule of twice a month, the
2nd and 4th Sundays. The 2nd Sunday’s location (February
11th, March 11th, April 8th) will be at the Las Olas Chemist
Shop and the 4th Sunday’s (February 25th, March
25th, April 22nd) will take place in the parking lot between
Mediterranean Market and Rino’s Tuscan Grill, at 1101 East Las Olas.
"The Outdoor Gourmet Market is an example of the pro-active efforts of the Las Olas Association and its members in
enhancing the "Las Olas Experience" with new events to complement the many events that have become cherished Fort Lauderdale
traditions," enthused Tony Beall, Executive Director of the Las Olas Association. Some of those cherished events include
Christmas on Las Olas, the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival, Clueless on Las Olas and the Las Olas Art Fairs. Tony also noted
that the monthly Market is made possible in part through the generous support of the Las Olas Company.
Visitors to the Outdoor Urban Market, taking place between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., will find farm fresh fruits and
vegetables, culinary herbs, tropical plants and orchids, fresh baked breads and pastries. Local honey, handmade soaps and
wonderful market baskets to carry your selection of goodies home will also be part of the experience.
