A Perfect Family Day Out at the South Florida Fair

An Annual Tradition of Laughs, Thrills and Togetherness at the South Florida Fair

January 26th, 2025

My family and I made our annual trip to the fair this past Saturday, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! After a week of cold, rainy gloom, Saturday graced us with perfect weather—sunny skies, a light breeze, and the kind of warmth that makes you crave fair food. This year’s theme, “Imagine the Future,” was on full display the moment we stepped into the expo center. From interactive exhibits to high-tech entertainment, it felt like stepping into a carnival from the year 2050! Even the ice show embraced the theme with a sci-fi spectacle that had the whole audience captivated.

Speaking of the ice show—what a blast! The skaters dazzled with gravity-defying moves, but my son’s favorite part? The glow-in-the-dark juggling act on ice! Who knew neon bowling pins could be so mesmerizing? The costume changes were nonstop—aliens, robots, space explorers—it was like watching a futuristic Broadway production on skates.

But the magic show with Josh Knotts may have stolen the spotlight. This wasn’t your ordinary “pick-a-card” kind of magic. Josh made a motorcycle appear out of thin air with several volunteered children on stage with him, used props we had never seen before (including a robotic dinosaur in a dream sequence!) and had the audience roaring with laughter. The highlight? Watching two unsuspecting dads get pulled on stage for an impromptu toilet paper dance-off. It was pure comedic gold.

Of course, the fair isn’t just about the shows—it’s about the thrills! After marveling at the art exhibits and learning some fun facts about bees (did you know they can recognize human faces?), we hit the midway. Rides, games, and flashing lights stretched in every direction. The little ones in our group were thrilled to finally be tall enough for the big-kid rides, and we spent the better part of the day spinning, soaring, and screaming our lungs out on one of the rides.

Then came the ultimate challenge: choosing what to eat. Sure, the classics were there—pizza, cotton candy, cinnamon rolls—but we were feeling adventurous. Korean corndogs? Yes, please. Mexican street corn? A must. Donut burgers? Why not! And for the truly daring—chocolate-covered bacon. Let’s just say we left the fair with full stomachs and zero regrets.

By nightfall, the fairgrounds were packed, and the lines started to get longer. We didn’t make it to the animal exhibits this year (sorry, roosters—we’ll catch you next time), but after a day packed with excitement, we were ready to call it a night. The only downside? The traffic getting in and out of the fair was no joke. Parking was a bit of a nightmare, with some folks having to what seemed like a mile just to reach the entrance. Here’s hoping for a smoother system next year!

The South Florida Fair is always a guaranteed good time. Whether you’re catching a live band, indulging in deep-fried delights, shopping for quirky finds, or screaming your heart out on a carnival classic, there’s something for everyone. The only challenge? Figuring out how to squeeze it all into one day!

Luli Fama Turns Dadeland Mall Into a Tropical Playground With Its VIP Grand Opening

Published

on

Champagne, bold bikinis, glowing colors, and a whole lot of Luli Babe confidence


November 7, 2025

Luli Fama just opened its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall and the VIP launch felt like a tropical celebration. From the moment guests arrived, the energy was bright, bubbly, and pure Miami. Champagne was poured all night, the small bites were delicious, and gift bags were waiting at the door to send everyone home smiling.

The boutique itself is stunning. Every rack bursts with tropical color. Bikinis shimmer in sunset shades. Resort sets float on the hangers like they are already dreaming of a beach vacation. It is one of those stores that you can wander through forever because each piece feels fresh, playful, and ready for your next escape.

Luli Fama is a Latin owned brand loved worldwide for its flattering fit and vibrant, confident style. Their motto, “celebrating a passionate lifestyle one bikini at a time,” came to life in every corner of the boutique. Guests tried on pieces that made them feel strong, sexy, and ready for summer at any moment of the year.

The brand’s focus on fit is what makes it stand out. With more than 30 years of experience, Luli Fama has perfected patterns for many different body types. They know how to blend comfort, support, and style into one look. That kind of precision comes from their unique production process.

Luli Fama is the only designer swim brand with its own in house production team in Colombia, and their factory is a huge point of pride. Many of the artisans who sew, cut, and assemble each piece are women who have built long, stable careers with the company. The brand is dedicated to providing high quality jobs, skill development, and a safe, supportive workplace for its team. It is a place where craftsmanship is treated with respect and where women can support their families through steady, dignified work. Every bikini, every resort set, every gold plated detail is handmade by people who truly know their craft.

That craftsmanship was easy to feel at the event. The European fabrics were soft and luxurious. The hardware sparkled. The finishes were flawless. Even guests who were just browsing could tell the pieces were made with care, not mass produced in a rush.

Throughout the night, the Luli team brought incredible warmth. They helped guests find their perfect fits, shared styling tips, and created a friendly, festive atmosphere. The grand opening felt less like a store launch and more like a celebration of women, color, culture, and confidence.

Luli Fama’s newest boutique is officially open at Dadeland Mall, 7535 N Kendall Dr, Miami, FL 33156, right by the Apple Store and a couple doors down from Pura Vida. If you love bold swimwear, glowing prints, and beautifully crafted pieces that make you feel amazing, this spot needs to be on your list.

Wynwood Art Walk and Fashion Night Out

Published

From live murals to fashion fueled pop ups this Art Walk is wild colorful and absolutely not a stay at home night


November 6, 2025

Wynwood is gearing up for another huge Art Walk, and this time it comes with a fashion twist. On Saturday, November 8, from noon to ten, the neighborhood turns into a giant open-air celebration of art, music, and style. If you love wandering into galleries you have never heard of or discovering an artist painting a mural in the middle of the street, this is one of those days when Wynwood feels completely alive.

This month, Art Walk is teaming up with Fashion Night Out, which means more energy, more creative people, and a whole lot more to see. Fashion Night Out is a ticketed experience with panels, live music, and cocktails, while the regular Art Walk remains totally free and open to anyone who wants to explore. It is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of day, and both vibes fit right into Wynwood’s colourful personality.

The whole district is putting on a show. You can walk a single block and bump into a new exhibition a fashion pop up or an artist painting right in front of you. It is the kind of event where you will probably arrive planning to stay for an hour, and then suddenly it is sunset and you are still wandering around with a cafecito in hand.

There are tons of spots to check out but here are a few highlights you can easily wander between throughout the afternoon

Wynwood Walls is free and has a DJ and a bar so it is always a good starting point. Wyn317 is hosting a solo show by Louiedology. The Museum of Graffiti has live spray painting and a video premier with X SQUARE O which sounds very Miami in the best way. Goldman Global Arts is unveiling two new exhibitions. ARTXSPACE Paradox Museum and Fun Dimension are offering discounted admission so if you have ever wanted to try those immersive shows this is your chance.

As the sun goes down the live artists take over. Diana Didi will be at Panther Coffee from five to eight. Ivan Roque will be at Pitusa and Luis Ville will be at Society Wynwood during the same hours. The whole district feels like a walking gallery with music drifting from every corner.

Expect a lot of people a lot of art and a lot of personality. The mix of designers muralists street performers and fashion lovers makes this one of the most entertaining Art Walks of the year. Whether you are coming for the galleries or you simply want to get lost in Wynwood for a few hours it is a great night to do it.
