Free Family Fun Day at HistoryMiami Museum

Ever wondered what the Magic City looked like hundreds of years ago? HistoryMiami has you covered—literally. Enjoy a free visit to the museum every second Saturday of the month and spend the day time-traveling and discovering hidden nuggets of the 305’s past. The museum is free to explore from noon to 5pm, with family-friendly activities hosted from 11am to 4pm. On October 11, the theme is Caribbean Carnival & J’ouvert, celebrating the spirit of emancipation with live steel pan music, rhythm sessions, cultural discovery tables and a VR J’ouvert band experience. Kids can paint bandanas, join Auntie Rubie’s carnival workshops and catch a screening of the Miami Carnival documentary. All exhibits will be open, including highlights tours and the community gallery, Long Live J’ouvert (on view through October 12).
