Well, the weather blew it. This week's unprecedented patterns have really put a damper (ok, we'll stop) on this weekend's holiday festivities, forcing many of the most anticipated holiday happenings to be cancelled or postponed until the rain and winds subside.
CBS4 is reporting that South Florida could see as high as 40mph winds on Friday as well as periods of mild to medium rains. And storms will likely pick up on Saturday; the Keyes are on flood watch and the rest of South Florida can expect strong winds and downpours. Sunday, we should be seeing some sunshine again.
So, what does this mean for our weekend plans, which includes tons of holiday events? Lots of cancellations and postponements. Safe to assume that anything outdoors is closed for the weekend; here's a list of what we know is not happening on December 15th, 16th and 17th.
Miami events closed or cancelled on due to weather
- Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade
- Christmas Wonderland at Tropical Park
- Santa's Enchanted Forest
- Pinecrest Gardens Nights of Lights
- Nightgarden at Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden
- The Rink at The Loop Fort Lauderdale Beach
- Winter Festival at The Berry Farms
In lieu of these closings, there's still plenty of events still open like Aventura Mall's Snow Carnival, the Little River Flea and other indoor events and shows. Plus, how better to spend a rainy day than sipping festive cocktails at a holiday bar pop-up? And if none of these pique your interest, here's are some ideas on what to do in Miami when it rains.
