Great Gables Events - weekend of April 6

Greetings,

Friday Gallery Night begins a busy weekend full of fine events — and the week continues with more great cultural opportunities here in Coral Gables.

Its a big week for political authors as well. Ambassador Vicki Huddleston, author of Our Woman in Havana comes to Books & Books, while Madeleine Albright follows up with her new book Fascism: A Warning.

As usual, there’s lots of great musical events, art exhibits, live theatre, family-friendly events and celebrations. Save the date for April 14 to celebrate the re-birth of Miracle Mile as a world-class destination with a ribbon-cutting ceremony (free parking) and much more.

We hope you enjoy the following long list of Great Gables Events. Set aside some quality time for family and friends to enjoy the depth and breadth of fine culture in our little city.

Isle Of Dogs at Gables Cinema
Certainly the talk of the town is the new Wes Anderson film Isle Of Dogs, previewing at Gables Cinema. The movie play homage to the epic scope and beauty of Japanese cinema, to the noble loyalty of canine companions, to the rejection of intolerance, and most of all to the unbreakable boy-dog bond that has launched countless escapades. It’s one of the few films to come along that appeals to all ages. Coral Gables Art Cinema is located at 260 Aragon. Call 786-385-9689 or visit the web site for details. http://www.gablescinema.org
