National Dog Day

On Friday from 5 to 10 p.m., the World Famous Parrot Lounge on Fort Lauderdale beach throws its monthly Dogs, Beaches and Brews party, a canine-friendly happy-hour benefit for those doing the after-work gambol on the dog beach across the street (north of A1A and Sunrise Boulevard). There will be food and drink specials, raffles, live music from Glenn Govot, and a $5 donation to Everglades Angels Dog Rescue gets you a drink. Info: Facebook.com/Dogs-Beaches-and-Brews.
