Dania Beach is hosting its Light Up Dania Beach festival with a synthetic ice skating rink, live entertainment and a drone light show. Admission is free.

The 2026 event runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Families can take photos with Santa Claus during the evening, according to the event listing.

The drone display is the centerpiece of the night, and the ice rink gives visitors a winter-style activity in the South Florida heat. The source did not list specific dates or a street location beyond Dania Beach, so check the city’s event information before heading out.

For Broward families looking for a low-cost night out ahead of the holidays, the event offers a mix of skating, music and a fireworks-free sky show that is easy to plan around.
