Fort Lauderdale, FL — March 19, 2026 – Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale has again been nominated for USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Award for Best Riverwalk. Voting is open now and runs through Monday, April 6 at 12:00 p.m. ET. Community members are encouraged to vote once per day to help Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale secure the top spot. In 2025, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale’s first time being nominated, the park placed #7. Fort Lauderdale’s Riverwalk has it all – amazing residential buildings, businesses large and small, the Arts and Entertainment District and the Las Olas shopping and dining corridor. The downtown Riverwalk District is a livable, walk-able neighborhood, and one of the premier places to live, work and play in South Florida, with continued relocation of businesses and residents from within the region and throughout the United States. Centered in a growing district buoyed by expanding residential, nightlife and dining options, including two Fort Lauderdale restaurants to make the Michelin Guide in it’s inaugural year in Broward County, and in 2026 by the opening of the reimagined Huizenga Park, Fort Lauderdale’s Riverwalk is the place to be for residents and visitors alike. “We’re thrilled for Fort Lauderdale’s Riverwalk Park to be recognized again for its value as a critical part of our vibrant and growing community,” says Riverwalk president and CEO Genia Duncan Ellis. “Riverwalk is at the heart of Fort Lauderdale – geographically, culturally and from residential, business and civic perspectives. Let’s bring the award for Best Riverwalk home where it belongs.” How to Vote: Visit GoRiverwalk.com/vote to be redirected to the official 10Best voting page.
