The Renaissance Awaits—And It’s Glorious

Published

Step Back in Time, but Don’t Lose Your Head—The Florida Renaissance Festival is a Guillotine-Free Zone.

February 1st, 2025

The Florida Renaissance Festival once again transported patrons to a world of chivalry, adventure, and merriment for its 33rd anniversary at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach. Running for eight weekends from February 1st to March 23rd, 2025, this beloved event continues to bring history and fantasy to life in a way that feels both immersive and endlessly entertaining.

Before even stepping through the festival gates, the spectacle had already begun in the parking lot, where visitors in elaborate period costumes ranged from people of the noble court to rugged peasants and outlaws. While dressing up wasn’t required, it was impossible not to feel swept up in the atmosphere, surrounded by people in tunics, cloaks, lacy gowns, and broad-brimmed hats. Each weekend boasted a different theme, keeping the experience fresh and full of surprises.

Once inside, there was no shortage of entertainment. Jesters and comedians kept crowds laughing, jugglers and fire performers captivated with their skills, and live Celtic and Scottish music set the perfect backdrop for the festivities. The Washing Well Wenches made their triumphant return with their signature chaotic humor, while knights and falconers showcased impressive medieval demonstrations. At every turn, there was something new to watch, from impromptu acoustic performances playing off the crowd’s reactions to vendors who never broke character, adding to the festival’s immersive charm. Be sure to venture through

Of course, no visit would have been complete without indulging in the festival’s legendary food and drink. The air was filled with the scent of sizzling meats and fresh-baked treats, and our group happily devoured a giant turkey leg, a savory gyro, and an oversized pickle. Mead flowed freely, alongside other drinks, served with plenty of banter from bartenders who embraced their roles with enthusiasm.

For families, opening weekend offered free entry for children 11 and under, making it an ideal time to introduce younglings to the magic of the Renaissance. The artisan market was a treasure trove of handcrafted goods, from intricate jewelry to medieval weaponry, perfect for those wanting to take home a piece of the experience or take in a memorable photo.

Produced by the nationally acclaimed Bobby Rodriguez Productions, the Florida Renaissance Festival remains one of the premier Renaissance events in the country. Whether you’ve attended before or are considering your first visit, this festival continues to offer a day of historical fun, magical discovery, and unforgettable moments. There’s still plenty of time to grab a costume, pick up a stein, and step into a world where the past comes alive.

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.

The Queens Are Home: R House Wynwood Glitters with Athena Dion and Juicy Love

Yas Queen: Athena Dion and Juicy Love Light Up R House Wynwood


October 12, 2025

Friday night’s Yas Queen show at R House Wynwood was the kind of evening that reminds you why Miami nightlife has its own heartbeat. Hosted by Athena Dion and Juicy Love, the show brought the perfect blend of laughter, glamour, and live entertainment to a packed house that was ready to celebrate.

Athena Dion was sensational. She commanded the stage with her signature confidence, quick wit, and effortless connection with the crowd. Every line landed, every moment sparkled, and her presence tied the night together. She has the rare ability to make a full room feel like an intimate party, and you can tell the audience adores her. Juicy Love complemented her perfectly with humor, charm, and dynamic choreography that kept the energy high from start to finish. Together, they created a performance that felt joyful, polished, and completely alive.

At halftime, the spotlight opened up to the audience as a few guests were invited to strut their stuff on stage. The crowd cheered them on while Athena hyped them up from the sidelines, turning the moment into a mini runway that had everyone smiling, clapping, and living for the fun of it.

Before the show, I ordered the Miami Spice menu with unlimited drinks for only $60, and it was an experience in itself. The guacamole, tuna tartare, octopus, and burger were all outstanding, each dish bursting with flavor and freshness. We ended with coconut ice cream, creamy and tropical, the perfect finish to a vibrant meal. The drinks flowed freely, the service was impeccable, and the entire dinner set the mood for the night ahead.

By the time the final number hit, the room was glowing with applause and laughter. It was more than a drag show. It was community, artistry, and celebration all rolled into one unforgettable night.
