500 arrested when Spring Breakers in Fort Lauderdale
went nuts, started rioting in 1967
Spring Breakers didn't start causing trouble in the 1980s. In the city that birthed the event, Fort Lauderdale, students gave authorities fits on multiple occasions prior to the 80s -- most notably in 1961 and 1967. In 1961, the town overflowed as the movie Where the Boys Are attracted more students than expected. Rioting that year was sparked by the closure of beaches the students had previously enjoyed. The 1967 version started when a student reclined in the middle of busy A1A. It lasted three days. • Click here to read the original post on Florida Historical Society's Facebook page
