Welcome to the Wilton Manors Gazette where we cover all things Wilton Manors and Oakland Park.
After two brutal legislative sessions in Tallahassee, South Florida’s LGBT community is still trying to understand what happened and figure out what’s next. State Rep. Daryl Campbell serves District 99, covering Wilton Manors and surrounding areas. He came to Hagen Park to give constituents a post-session briefing.
Wilton Manors’ Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) will be making big decisions soon regarding the city’s future. After making several new appointments in April, two more were made during the city commission meeting on June 13.
While political storm clouds gathered around the Stonewall Pride Parade and Street Festival for months, literal storm clouds gathered over Wilton Manors on June 17. Neither were able to stop the party and protest from happening.
There have been lots of starts and stops in the quest to bring new development to Wilton Manors. The highest profile and controversial project remains in “stop” mode.
Recognizing struggles and celebrating success. Wilton Manors has officially recognized Pride Month ahead of this weekend’s Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival.

The quirky-yet-mouthwatering Ice Pops sculpture at Rachel Richardson park will not be melting away, thanks to the work of the local community. The art installation at NE 21st Ct. and Andrews Ave. was vandalized in late May.
