Great Neighborhoods for Young Trick-or-Treaters

Miami may be known for its legendary Halloween parties for adults, but we can’t forget about the other demographic that also likes to dress up in costume: the kiddos. For parents taking their kids trick-or-treating tonight, it’s about enjoying the ambiance and grabbing some candy in the best neighborhoods. Let’s check out some of the best, safe neighborhoods to take the little ones.

For the ultimate in candy treats, you may want to try Coral Gables. It’s known for its scenic, tree-lined streets and thanks to the complimentary Coral Gables trolley, it’s easy for families to get around. Miracle Mile is also a nice spot to visit, and there are sure to be several shops handing out treats.

Coconut Grove, or “The Grove” to us locals is also very pedestrian friendly and is known for its fusion of classic and modern. Explore the neighborhoods with the kids or visit CocoWalk. If you’re planning on visiting with the little ones, make sure to keep an eye on the clock to avoid the eventual appearance of college students and adults as the night continues.

Key Biscayne may require an entry fee to visit, but the Key West vibe is a nice, cool backdrop as you stroll the streets. Bring your kids to the beach to trick-or-treat and take some pictures by the ocean for some memorable Halloween moments.

Have a safe and fun Halloween!

The 24th Annual “Kiteober” Festival

This past Sunday was the annual kite festival in Miami Beach. Spectators were delighted to see hundreds of breathtaking colors and unique shapes of kites. The Skyward Kites Company and Miami Dade Parks Department have hosted this festival for over 20 years. Visitors can craft a kite for free, bring their own kite from home, or rent one from Skyward.

This event features free paper kite building and demonstration classes from professionals and enthusiasts alike. Since there is no age limit, both children and adult guests are encouraged to join the kite-flying competitions. There is no regulation on the size or structure of kites that can be flown in the kites competition. This allows for competitors to either buy their kites from a store or craft them by hand. 

For those who want to observe the spectacle, all they have to do is gaze up at the sky and stare at the vibrant display before them. Live music with food and refreshments are available for purchase during the event. If you missed this past Sunday’s festival, there is the 25th annual Kite Day on February 18th & 19th, 2017.

Get Ready for a New Yachts Miami Beach

Along with the Miami International Boat Show, Yachts Miami Beach is a major event drawing hundreds of thousands of people looking to check out the latest yachts for sale. In 2017 the show will be celebrating 29 years but unlike previous events, this 29th version will bring some new changes to keep things fresh and more engaging.

There will be a new layout and look during the 2017 Yachts Miami Beach when it kicks off on February 16th near the popular Eden Roc and Fontainebleau. The show co-owners have hired a globally acclaimed design company responsible for reimagining the show. Next year’s show will feature the standard luxury yachts, musical acts performing live, floating cocktail lounges, and more. The company overseeing the changes has worked on major projects around the world like the popular tourist destination Atlantis Paradise Island in The Bahamas.

The new Yachts Miami Beach will be focusing heavily on the scenic location near the Indian Creek Waterway and five different entrances intended to create an artistic ambiance while providing attendees useful information. The sidewalks that once served as a means for foot traffic have been swapped for floating docks with concession stands selling food and beverages. For the first time ever, attendees will be able to use free water taxis. With all of the new changes, Yachts Miami Beach will become more interactive and inviting for buyers and exhibitors alike.
