The most
wonderful time of the year is almost here and Miami likes to celebrate it big
time. In the city you’ll find a bunch of activities and places to visit with
your family and spend time with them. Fill your soul and theirs with the Christmas
spirit! Here’s a list of the most attractive activities of our city:
·
Santa’s Enchanted Forest: If you’re a fan of
Christmas trees and lights, then this is the right place for you! In this
enormous Christmas-themed amusement park you’ll find a 92” Christmas tree and
over 3 million lights. Enjoy many live shows, games, magic acts, mazes, rides,
and carnival food. It’s an excellent place to visit with the whole family,
especially with the younger kids for its variety. Santa’s Enchanted Forest will
be open untill January 8.
·
Christmas Tree Lighting at Bayfront Park: The day
just after Thanksgiving (November 25, this year) is the first official day of Christmas.
This day, Bayfront Park will unveil its 50-feet-tall tree covered with lots of
glittering lights. The idea is to spend the night waiting for the tree lighting
while enjoying holiday music and food trucks.
·
Winterfest Boat Parade: If you’re a parade person,
then you can’t miss this one in Ft. Lauderdale on December 10. You’ll enjoy
thousands of lights and the Christmas spirit sailing the intercostal waters.
Anything can be expected from the sailboats, yachts, barges, gondolas, and
kayaks that will be lighting the night.
·
The Annual
Living Nativity: Every year, at Miami Shores Presbyterian Church, a live,
open-aired reenactment of the origins of Christmas is organized. Not only are
the characters represented by real actors, but you’ll also see live camels,
donkeys, goats and sheep, along with digital and live-action characters, and of
course: an amazing choir. It’s a great place to spend the night with your kids
and teach them about the origins of this holiday.
