Floridians know how to celebrate the winter holidays, even if “winter” doesn't mean here what it means elsewhere. The snow may be fake or manmade, but the fun is real.
South Florida has holiday parades, boat parades, Christmas tree lightings, menorah lightings, holiday concerts, family festivals and more. Many events are free or cheap.
We also have big lists of free and cheap holiday events in Broward and free and cheap holiday events in Miami-Dade.
If you enjoy holiday lights, you can find many places to see that go all out for the holidays.
Happy Holidays!
