Ignite Broward
The annual Ignite Broward is a free arts festival that transforms four public spaces into a glowing, after-dark art experience with large-scale light installations, live performances, and interactive works. Presented by the Broward County Cultural Division and produced by MAD Arts, the festival will pop up at the immersive Dania Beach museum, ArtsPark in Hollywood, and Reverend Samuel Delevoe Memorial Park in Fort Lauderdale. Special installations will also be on view at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. 6 p.m. at various locations; ignitebroward.com. Admission is free.
The Selena Experience
Rather than a general tribute, The Selena Experience focuses squarely on the mid-’90s peak that made Mexican-American icon Selena Quintanilla a crossover star, recreating the looks, choreography, and arrangements from her final tours. The show centers on material from Entre a Mi Mundo and Amor Prohibido, the albums that produced staples like “Como La Flor,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” and “No Me Queda Mas.” Staged at the Miniaci PAC — a venue more often associated with theater and orchestral programming — this concert is a polished, note-for-note homage to the artist who became an inspiration for generations of Latinas. 8 p.m. at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Blvd., Davie; 954-468-3283; miniacipac.com. Tickets cost $23 to $76 via miniacipac.com.
