Olas, the city’s beach mascot, is back on Fort Lauderdale Beach for the holiday season, and the city wants residents to come out and get a photo with him. He is wearing a red, white and blue, star-spangled outfit for the grand finale of the city’s America’s 250 Celebration.

The event is Light Up the Beach, set for Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Las Olas Oceanside Park, 3000 E. Las Olas Blvd. The city’s social media post invites people to say in the comments when they plan to stop by.

The post did not list any other activities or details about the event. For families and visitors planning a beach evening this month, it offers a free, scheduled stop along the Las Olas oceanfront.
