Be aware of road and marine closures
“The stage for the Fort Lauderdale Air Show is two miles wide and 500 feet high,” Fort Lauderdale City Manager Chris Lagerbloom said when the rescheduled event was announced last month. “Spectators can watch from their backyard, balcony, boat or the beach, making it the ideal event for our community to host in the era of social distancing.”
