Miami Mom Collective, Miami’s premier parenting resource, is thrilled to announce our 8th Annual Holiday Events & Activities Guide. This guide features the best local holiday events and activities in Miami and the surrounding areas.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in The Magic City!
And while there won’t be frosted window panes or a white Christmas, there are lots of festive events and activities the whole family will enjoy. From tree lightings and Santa sightings to Hanukkah events and winter camps, we’ve included everything you need to make this season merry and bright.
Gather the family and experience what makes Miami a holiday destination!
Be sure to check back frequently as we will be adding more events as they are announced. We’ve categorized our list of holiday fun–just click on the category of events or activities you’re looking for to be brought to the listing of those events.
