Weekend things to do: Duda Beat, Riley Green, Ziggy Stardust and wings galore in Lake Worth Beach

We know how to do big events in South Florida — we can throw a boat show and an air show, and we know how to Basel and Ultra and Tortuga and SunFest. But this is the time of year when summer-tested locals get together in smaller, organic ways to celebrate what’s here year-round.

We’re thinking of the Smoke & Sunset Neighborhood Cookout co-hosted by Tropical Smokehouse and Celis Juice Bar in West Palm Beach on Saturday, an event that is symbolic of an outgoing neighborly vibe, but also acknowledges the hip community of like-minded food and drink purveyors up and down Dixie Highway.

The Old Town Untapped series in Pompano Beach on Friday will include the high-intensity jams of locals Spred the Dub, a metaphor for the energy pulsing through the city these days.

Indie Craft Bazaar, which put founders Amanda Weiner and Chris Gaidry at the vanguard of the local curated flea-market trend nearly 15 years ago, returns to downtown Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, the inaugural South Florida Wing Bash in Lake Worth Beach looks promising and will include as one of its judges the personable and perspicacious Jeffrey Lemmerman, better known as Cheffrey Eats, a very South Florida invention.

Bottom line, it’s a good weekend to get out in South Florida to remind yourself what this place is really all about.
