The Coconut Grove Art Festival takes place this weekend.  In addition to seeing some fun, different art, it is a great time to stroll the streets, taste food, and bump into friends.

I love this year’s poster!

Free Things To Do Tonight

So many of my friends complain that Miami is an expensive town.  Like any city I know, it can be but there are also a ton of things that you can do for free or near free.

Here are some things to do tonight to get your weekend started:

  • Viernes Culturales – this event takes place the last Friday of every month in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami.  In addition to an art walk, there is live music, domino competitions, and latin dancing lessons.
  • Visit the Wolfsonian – Free admission on Friday nights from 6-9 pm
  • Take a picnic to the park at the New World Center on Miami Beach, watch the large screen and see what everyone is talking about.

Whether swimming to get cool, playing in the sand, fishing off the shore, catching little crabs with nets, watching the kite surfers, or lazing under the shade of the palm trees, this is a great place to spend the day with kids.
