Hire costumed characters
in Fort Lauderdale.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
Broward corporate character work runs heaviest at Sawgrass Mills and Galleria retail openings (custom branded mascots to anchor the opening crowd), Hard Rock Hotel and Guitar Hotel brand-takeover events that want themed performers for music and entertainment activations, and themed performers for corporate murder mysteries and immersive employer-brand events in Boca Raton. Our Broward character pool is bilingual EN/ES with Portuguese and Haitian Creole sub-pools for Broward demographics. Captains run hurricane-season contingency planning and brief on outdoor heat realities for Hollywood Broadwalk and Las Olas summer activations. All staff are 100% W-2.
Showcraft serves Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding FL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Fort Lauderdale is the operationally calmer half of South Florida — the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center is in the middle of an 800,000+ sq ft expansion, Boca Raton holds a real luxury-corporate corridor, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood pulls a steady run of music and entertainment activations. We staff brand activations along Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk, Boca Raton corporate offsites at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, sports family days at Amerant Bank Arena (Florida Panthers) and BB&T Center, and luxury retail at Sawgrass Mills and the Galleria. Our Broward roster overlaps with Miami's bilingual ES/PT pool but skews older and more corporate-experienced — better fit for finance and law-firm offsites that don't want a Miami nightlife vibe.

They're not random people in costume; they're vetted performers backed by Characters.io's 18-year track record.
Are your Fort Lauderdale character performers W-2 and insured?+
