Frost Science Museum
The Frost Museum’s laser evenings take a Halloween turn this month, kicking off their usual night of fantastic laser shows with a Halloween Spooktacular. The night continues with Michael Jackson and Thriller at 8 pm, then Stranger Things, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Cost: $10
Magic City Fronton
The fastest game on Earth is back with a vengeance this weekend, as Battle Court Jai-Alai hits the Magic City Fronton. The play is a little different that the stuff you used to see on dollar beer night in Dania, but it moves even faster than before, and includes a live DJ and video arcade.
Cost: Admission is free. Wagers are on you.
Kush Hialeah
If you don’t recognize the name, Junior Biggers is the legendary line cook who’s been slicing meats and making matzoh balls at Stephen’s Deli since 1957. Stephen’s is now Kush (what isn’t?) and they’ll be honoring him by turning the place into Junior's Diner for the day. There’ll also be 1957-era prices on the menu, with 57-cent cheeseburgers and 25 cent egg cremes.
Cost: Menu prices vary.
Miami Beach Convention Center
The latest creations from Bentley, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and pretty much every other known automaker will be on the convention floor in Miami Beach this weekend for the Miami International Auto Show. There’ll be plenty of test drives available for you too, as well as the return of Jeep’s off-road course where you can find out firsthand all the crazy stuff you can do in a Wrangler.
Cost: $15
Wynwood Marketplace
One of the most unpleasant refrains over the past couple years has been, “Yeah, I was supposed to do that in 2020.” The expectorant experts at Mucinex feel your pain, and all weekend they’ll have a “Missing Booth” at Wynwood Marketplace, where you can make a 60-second video about what you missed out on during the pandemic. The winner will have their missed moment made up, courtesy of Mucinex.
Cost: Free
Mana Wynwood
Music festival season officially kicks off this weekend with the return of III Points. This year’s lineup is one of the best in recent memory, with LCD Soundsystem, Fisher, Porter Robinson, and Uncle Luke leading the pack of Friday acts. Then on Saturday, Black Coffee, Bob Moses, and Busta Rhymes perform.
Cost: GA passes start at $149 for one day and $209 for the whole weekend.
Lummus Park
The South Beach Seafood Festival takes over Lummus Park at 14th Street all weekend, beginning with a Friday night Chef Showdown where you’ll judge creations from South Florida’s top chefs. Saturday brings the festival’s main event, where spots like Ella’s Oyster Bar, Pubbelly Sushi, A Fish Called Avalon, and others will be sampling their ocean wares, with no shortage of drinks alongside.
Cost: GA Tickets start at $55.
Brion Park
The All Saints Episcopal Church in Ft. Lauderdale kicks off its Floating Films By Starlight series at 7 pm. The monthly free movies will be displayed on a floating screen in the New River, as families are invited to set up shop in the park behind the church. This month’s feature is the Disney animated hit Encanto, gates open at 5:45 pm.
Cost: Free
LOOP Park
We may not have colorful leaves or air one could describe as “crisp,” but that’s no reason we can’t get into fall just like they do up north. Ft. Lauderdale’s LOOP park dives head on into the season with a fall festival from 9 am – 4 pm, where you can wander through a pumpkin patch, bob for apples, play pumpkin pong, and watch Broward’s best pro and amateur chefs compete in a pie making contest.
Cost: Free
FPL Solar Amphitheater
Electronic music trio Rufus du Sol bring their Surrender tour to the amphitheater at Bayfront park to close out the weekend at 7:30 pm. The guys who made hits like “Innerbloom,” “You Were Right,” and “Treat You Better” will be playing their final U.S. tour date before heading across the Pacific, so it’s your last chance to see them live unless you’re planning a trip to Sydney.
Cost: Tickets start at $229. Want more Thrillist? Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat!Matt Meltzer is a contributing writer for Thrillist. Follow him on Instagram @meltrez1.By signing up, I agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.
