The Ninth Annual Taste of Pinecrest takes place this Sunday at Pinecrest Gardens. This food and art festival is sponsored by the Pinecrest Business Association to benefit the Village’s public schools. In addition to student performances, an art show, rides and games, there are a number of local restaurants selling a “taste” of their menus. It is a great way to spend a day visiting, playing and savoring the many different flavors of Miami.
The Banyan Bowl at Pinecrest Gardens is in the middle of a renovation and the new sound and lighting system provided the perfect stage for Julian Marley’s performance last night.
If you have not had the opportunity to go see the updated Banyan Bowl, make a point to visit it during the upcoming Taste of Pinecrest or the next Pinecrest Gardens Jazz Series. The Community Foundation of Pinecrest‘s Banyan Bowl Capital Campaign is assisting in fundraising to complete the improvements. Please donate to the fund to keep this treasure as a cultural facility for all of us to enjoy for years to come.

Look closely at the bridge. Recognize any of it from the “Where’s JWo” picture posted last Sunday?
Part of the Deering Estate, the Chinese Bridge was constructed in 1918 by Charles Deering to cross Cutler Creek. He chose the Chinese theme to remind him of his travels through Asia when he was a Navy Officer.
This is a great pathway to walk, bike or jog as the main portion of it is closed to traffic. If you start on 152 Avenue, ride all the way down through native rock Pinelands and end at the People’s Dock for a great a peak at the nature that abounds in South Florida.

Well, this is the time of year when there is so much to do in Miami that it is hard to choose! In addition to the Coconut Grove Art Festival, it is the weekend of the Miami International Boat Show.

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!

Take advantage of what is supposed to be another beautiful South Florida weekend and get outside. The animal sculptures of Francois-Xavier Lalanne are on exhibit at Fairchild Tropical Garden and are sure to delight children of all ages. Two of my personal favorites are included here. Which one is yours?
