Greetings,
It might be a crazy weekend with Miracle Mile shut down for the carnaval event. Watch for road closures and detours.
The weather should be idea for some outdoor fun with family and friends, plus a large assortment of great events on the horizon — from food explorers and fine wine dinners to photo exhibitions and archeology explorations. There are many fine musical performances, award-winning movies, cheery celebrations and, as always, some great events for the kids.
Keep an eye on upcoming elections and look for opportunities to meet the candidates and engage in conversation about important local issues.
The following list of Great Gables Events is brought to you in the spirit of friendship and camaraderie among all our friends and neighbors in Coral Gables.
