As October ushers in cooler weather, Miamians can leave the heat of summer behind and enjoy the great outdoors. From farmers markets to picturesque lagoons to fall festivals, discover three ways to spend time under blue skies and take part in all the magic that our city has to offer.
What: Legion Park Farmers Market
Where: MiMo
THE DETAILS: Boasting a dog park, a playground, a basketball court, a tennis court, picnic tables on large swaths of grass, and a tree-lined walking path, this neighborhood-
favorite park truly has something for everyone. Saturdays offer the can’t-miss farmers market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Organized by the nonprofit Urban Oasis Project, the market includes vendors selling organic produce grown by local farms, the best sugarcane-infused smoothies you’ve ever tasted, slabs of juicy barbecue, spices and teas, finger-licking Indian samosas, and so much more.
What: Blue Lagoon Farm
Where: Homestead
THE DETAILS: Your friends will think you’re in Bali when they see your Instagram pics of an emerald green lagoon and waterfalls. Tell them it’s Miami’s secret swimming hole—a natural freshwater spring that is open to the public. Often serving as an eye-popping backdrop for everything from photo shoots to weddings, the idyllic spot is also the perfect place for a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters.
What: The Berry Farm’s Harvest Festival
Where: The Redlands
THE DETAILS: Through November 10, The Berry Farm’s annual Harvest Festival offers hay rides, a pumpkin patch, a 3-acre corn maze, pony rides, live music, and plenty of fall-themed photo opps. This family-friendly event also has a sunflower field, a sensory corn pit, and a jumbo bounce floor.
