South Florida Holiday Events

Please find information on the 2016 South Florida Parenting Holiday festival here.

While sunny South Florida may not be the most festive place during the holiday season, it doesn’t mean our area is void of great holiday events for the entire family to enjoy.  South Florida Parenting magazine has a great calendar chock-full of exciting South Florida holiday events for every holiday, every family, every day!

Here are just a few of the many South Florida Holiday Events I’m looking forward to attending with my family this month and next:

South Florida Parenting’s Holiday Festival:

sfp holiday fest

November 21-22 from 11 am to 5 pm at Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek

This family fun event will feature a snow tubing hill, candy cane scavenger hunt, and arts and crafts.  Admission is $8 per person (parking and admission to the park is included and babies under 18 months are free) but if you become a South Florida Parenting VIP (very important parent) by November 15, you’ll receive a $2 off coupon via e-mail.  You can register to be a VIP here and find more information on the event here.

Tropical Holiday:

November 14 from 11 am to 2 pm at the Shoppes at Logger’s Run in Boca Raton, FL

We’ll be missing this event as we gear up for more snow in Colorado but this fun, free event will feature the opportunity to meet Tropical Santa, go on a train ride, get your faces painted and more!

The free event will feature the Hip Hop Kidz dance group as well as a dance competition, crafts, games and prizes.
