Rock hits, runs, date night. Pembroke Pines events to add to your weekend fun
Welcome to the weekend, Pembroke Pines. We won’t waste your time. Here’s how you can maximize those precious few hours outside your 9-to-5.
This Friday through Sunday, several options are at your dipsosal.
Consider several creative workshops, one with a romantic twist, or two community-centered sweat sessions.
If neither is calling your name, maybe it’s moshing to classic rock cover tunes or feasting on a chef-curated menu.
