The Galleria Fort Lauderdale Wants To "Celebrate You"

“’Celebrate You’ is designed to inspire people to explore their passions while discovering new ways to look and feel their best,” said Shaneika Haskins, Marketing Director at Galleria Fort Lauderdale. “From fashion and beauty to fitness, well-being and dining, the event offers something for everyone and is the perfect complement to our family Halloween event and coat drive which are also in October.”

The day will include a special What’s Cooking event at Seasons 52 featuring Executive Chef Partner Wally Toro, who will lead guests through a seasonal culinary demonstration and tasting of the latest fall seasonal dishes on the menu at 1:30 p.m. The three-course menu will feature Roasted Meatballs with Polenta, an Avocado Stack and Cauliflower au Gratin. Each course will be paired with California wines, including Emmolo by Caymus, Sauvignon Blanc from Napa and Solano counties, Sea Sun Pinot Noir from Monterey County, and Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

The cost to attend the What’s Cooking demonstration and tasting is $30 per person, and seating is limited. Registration is required and tickets are available at: https://app.betterunite.com/kidsindistress-whatscookingatseasons52. All proceeds will benefit Kids In Distress and Family Central.

Fitness enthusiasts and beginners, alike, can enjoy three complimentary morning classes presented by Powerhouse Gym, including Mobility & Balance (9:00 a.m.), Classic Pilates (10:30 a.m.), and a Hybrid Workout (11:30 a.m.). Advance registration is required through https://forms.gle/dR5s33vmhK2seD5S8. Guests will also be invited to tour Powerhouse Gym and learn about special membership offers.

Fashion will take center stage with special activations from Macy’s and Banana Republic, highlighting the latest seasonal styles and trends. Banana Republic will offer a personalized styling experience with the new fall collection plus light refreshments. Beauty enthusiasts can visit Sephora for an interactive activation featuring products, inspiration and beauty demonstrations.

Gia's Chocolatier, located near Macy’s, will offer a live demonstration at 2:00 p.m. of their signature Italian tiramisu. Guests can watch the process to see how this decadent dessert comes together with Gia’s signature Chocolate Pearls plus enjoy a tasting and share in the experience as Gia brings a taste of Italy to Galleria Fort Lauderdale. Limited tastings are available.

“Celebrate You” is one of three events planned during October. Galleria Fort Lauderdale will also launch the “Share the Warmth” campaign starting on Tuesday, October 20th, 2026 to collect gently worn and used coats, sweaters, and blankets for local partner The Salvation Army of Broward County plus host its annual Boo Bash Halloween event for children and families on Thursday, October 29th, 2026.
