Memorial Day Events Throughout Miami

Memorial Day is this weekend, when we take the time to honor and remember those that have passed away while serving in the armed forces. If you know someone who is a veteran, make sure to take some time to honor their life and memory.

Despite the somber tone, Memorial Day has also come to represent a time when the extended weekend yields many events. For example, the Anderson in Miami will be hosting its Miami Is an Island party on Sunday where artists like Kumi, Marcello Bentine, and Erick Paredes will be making appearances. Admission is free for this event.

Musician Miguel along with rappers Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Fabolous are all scheduled to perform throughout the weekend in Miami Beach. Since we’re on the topic of music, the 10th annual Best of the Best International Music Festival is returning to Bayfront Park on Sunday and it will feature a number of artists from various genres like hip-hop, reggae, and R&B.

South Beach will be coming to La Covacha in Doral on Saturday which will be hosting its 2K Pool Party which will have musical acts. If you’re a sports fan, Colombia will be facing off against Haiti at Marlins Park on Sunday at 5 pm during the Colombia vs. Haiti International Soccer Friendly.

Celebrate Red Nose Day

Comic Relief, Inc. is an American charity that once went by the name of America Gives Back. Even though it shares its name with the former Comic Relief USA charity, the two have nothing to do with each other. Instead, Comic Relief Inc. has become well-known for launching Red Nose Day, the primary method the charity uses to raise money.

Red Nose Day is a fundraising event designed to assist children in the United States and around the world, helping to get them out of poverty and encouraging fun. The event—which originally began in the United Kingdom in 1988—has raised more than $1 billion globally during the last 25 years for some of the poorest communities in the world.

During the Red Nose Day event, people come together to do something funny to raise money, whether that’s at work, school, or at home. The event had a successful U.S. launch last year and it includes a two-hour televised portion on NBC where many stars from movies, television, and music are expected to make an appearance on Thursday May 26.

If you’d like to participate in the Red Nose Day festivities, you can purchase your red nose by visiting your local Walgreens. Snap some fun pictures and make sure to donate!

Ladies, Go Fishing in August

Ladies: if you consider yourself an avid fishing fan, there’s a great event happening in just a couple of months you might want to learn more about and participate in. The “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing” event is a two-day event beginning on August 13 at the Northeast Florida Marlin Association clubhouse where women can learn, practice, and go inshore or offshore charter fishing, learn new skills and participate in a fishing tournament.

Besides the tournament, some of the classes and activities will include lure rigging, knot tying, cast netting, and much more. These classes will be followed by a reception plus an appetizer contest. There will also be an inshore and offshore fishing trip that’s optional where participants can catch fish like mackerel, wahoo, redfish, and trout. Those who choose to participate in the fishing trip will automatically be entered in the tournament.

Though it’s geared towards women, ladies do have the choice of bringing along a male guest or teenagers if they wish to include family members. If you can’t make the Northeast Florida event, there are other Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing events held throughout the year in other parts of Florida.

Miami Heat and More Events This Week

It’s a new week and a new opportunity to enjoy and participate in different activities, including cheering on our favorite local basketball team the Miami Heat. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Today is Women’s Checkup Day, and its name is pretty self-explanatory. The day serves as a reminder to women to make sure they schedule their annual check up. Not only is an annual check up important for health, it can also serve as a way to detect early signs of cancer and improve the odds of fighting it.

On a lighter note, today is also Moscato Day. Whether you have some at home or are planning on going out to eat tonight, get the week started on a positive note with a nice glass of Italian vino.  You may also raise a toast to the Miami Heat who will be facing off in game four against the Toronto Raptors at the American Airlines Arena tonight at 8 pm.

If you’re an avid film fan, tomorrow is the beginning of the Cannes Film Festival, considered to be among the most important film festivals of its kind in the world.  Keeping with the arts, Tuesday also marks the opening day of ‘Beautiful: The Carole King Musical’ at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Place Your Bets for the Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby remains one of the most well-known and exciting horse races in the United States. Held in Louisville on the first Saturday in May, the country’s “Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” has been running every single year since 1875 and it is also the country’s most attended stakes race. It is also the first in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, followed by the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes race.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the Kentucky Derby, three-year-old Thoroughbred horses are raced on a one and one-quarter mile long stretch of dirt racetrack at Churchill Downs.  Colts and geldings carry 126 pounds while fillies carry 121 pounds.  A total of twenty horses compete in the Derby, larger than the majority of horse races.

This year’s Kentucky Derby is happening tomorrow, May 7th and the competing horses include Trojan Nation, My Man Sam, Whitmore, Nyquist, and more.  Tickets are almost sold out, but even if you aren’t attending you can still place bets on the horses.

Celebrate the Navy During Fleet Week

Does it seem like there is an unusually large amount of captains, sailors, pilots, and engineers roaming around Fort Lauderdale this week? It’s probably because they’re all a part of the annual Fleet Week, not to be confused with the Fort Lauderdale Air & Sea Show that’s also happening this week.

The annual Fleet Week is approaching its 30th anniversary and is currently in its 26th year. It is run by the Broward Navy Days nonprofit organization and is a celebration of Navy ships and their crews. Attendees will find six unique ships they can tour and it’s expected that Fleet Week will draw over 12,000 people. Though it may not be as familiar as the Air Show, Fleet Week is particularly important for sailors as it allows them to get a break from their normal routine.  Sailors also have the opportunity to visit schools and hospitals during this time.

Due to security reasons, anyone wanting to take a tour of one of the Fleet Week ships is required to pre-register.  However, there are public events being held including an awards banquet and Marlins game on Thursday and a culinary competition being hosted at the Allied Kitchen and Bath on Saturday night. Drop by, say hi, and get a chance to thank sailors for their service.
