About Food In Motion
In 2013, Atlantic Studios created Food In Motion; South Florida's first night time food & artisan market. Featuring a lineup of food trucks, street food + retail booths, it was an instant hit - and, clearly filled a gap that locals sought. After successfully hosting the first artisan & vendor markets in Flagler Village (Fort Lauderdale's arts district), Atlantic Studios opted to relocate the event to Flagler Village. The event now takes place within the yard next to 511 Bar in Flagler Village, downtown Fort Lauderdale! It is in very close proximity to FIM's original flagship location (Peter Feldman Park)!
