Greetings,
Pleasant temperatures remain, with cool evenings that entice a walk along Miracle Mile, or Giralda Plaza, where people love to meet up with family and friends for good times in Coral Gables.
Don’t forget to Spring Forward on Sunday, March 10 at 2am — set your clocks ahead late Saturday night or early Sunday morning to Daylight Saving Time.
We hope the following list of Great Gables Events will offer some delightful ideas and opportunities to enjoy our little city in the coming days.
