We may not experience fall weather in Miami, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play pretend. Throw on a flannel shirt and head south to Homestead for the seventh annual Harvest Festival at The Berry Farm. Open seven days a week through November 15, the sprawling estate welcomes families and teens to explore a five-acre corn maze, sunflower fields, hayrides, and a giant pumpkin patch that makes for a great photo backdrop. For the grown-ups, an on-site bar offers themed cocktails like the Tipsy Apple Mule and Harvest Sangria. Tickets run $17 for adults and $14 for children ages 12 and under. Free for ages 2 and under.
September in Miami marks the slow return of snowbirds, a fast return to tourist season, and an omnipresent fear of hurricanes sneaking onto shore. But it’s not all busy bees and doom-gloom here. September also brings a slew of local events and annual programs that spotlight Miami’s best restaurants, cultural museums, and the Latin-American heritage that makes our city famous.
One of our favorite annual events, Miami Spice, continues strong through the end of September, offering special-priced menus at Michelin-starred restaurants starting at just $40. Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off September 15 with a range of cultural events and concerts through mid-October. A historic South Beach party, exciting theater productions, and NFL games round out the season.
