Mother’s Day Events

Galleria Fort Lauderdale presents The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. This public art initiative is designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. Shoppers can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.).

Summoning all friendly spirits…get ready to gather round for an afternoon of tricks, treats and Halloween fun as Galleria Fort Lauderdale welcomes families to its annual Halloween Boo Bash on Thursday, October 29, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Taking place near the Food Court in front of Dillard’s, the free spooktacular celebration will feature an exciting lineup of family-friendly activities and entertainment.

Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their most creative Halloween costumes and enjoy trick-or-treating at participating retailers throughout the mall, cookie decorating, a sticker station, Halloween ring toss with prizes and photos with costumed characters including Stitch and Spider-Man. The festivities will also include a children’s costume contest for ages 12 and under, giving younger guests a chance to show off their most imaginative Halloween looks. Costume contest winners will receive gift card prizes of $150 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place.

As part of this special event, Galleria Fort Lauderdale will collect new or gently used coats, sweaters and blankets as part of the “Share The Warmth” campaign in partnership with the national nonprofit One Warm Coat and local partner The Salvation Army of Broward County. Designed to help keep children and adults in need warm this winter, “Share the Warmth” launches on October 20, National Share the Warmth Day, and will continue through November 27, 2026. All items collected will be distributed locally by The Salvation Army of Broward County, ensuring donations directly benefit local individuals and families. The initiative is credited to Centennial, the management company of Galleria Fort Lauderdale.
