Free in Davie: Tree Tops Park's boardwalk, the county's highest point, town trails, Movies in the Park, free concerts and town festivals.

Last checked Oct. 8, 2026. “Free” here means the organizer says free. Sources: the Town of Davie’s park pages and event announcements, the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail and Young At Art Museum, linked below. Town events: 954-797-1181.

A lot of what Davie does best costs nothing: oak-shaded trails, a boardwalk through a restored marsh, the highest natural ground in Broward County, and a town events calendar where most of the big days, from Movies in the Park to the Halloween trunk-or-treat, are free.
