Be reminded that its is February. The most exciting month to be in Miami. If you are a tourist in our city in this month you have lucked out. February is a month packed with events in the city of Miami and that includes the annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival. This year it is the 50th year anniversary. A quick glance out of my window as I am writing this, shows a beautiful clear blue sky. With the 50th Coconut Grove Arts Festival less than one week away, once again the weather will be one of the draws to the event. I love this city! Search below thought the variety of events during this weekend’s Coconut Grove Arts Festival, I am sure you will find one that meets your taste.
