Dear Plantation Residents,

We have many wonderful things happening in our city as we get our kids ready to go back to school this fall. I’m so excited about the new beginnings a new school year has to offer including the fall weather and the many fun events our city has planned. The City of Plantation offers something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are looking for fun and safe sports programs or adventurous activities, we have programs for every member of your family this season. There are numerous events coming up, so be sure to mark your calendar.
