Vamos A Pescar Miami Volunteer Event
Volunteers are needed to support a free family fishing day in Miami. This event offers a fun outdoor activity for families.
Looking for something to do with the kids this weekend? Here is every family event we know about for Saturday and Sunday across Miami-Dade and Broward, from Miami and Coral Gables up to Fort Lauderdale and Coral Springs. The list is collected daily from libraries, museums, parks, venues and community calendars, so last-minute additions show up here too. Use the age and price filters to narrow it down to toddler-friendly or free events, or switch to the map to find something close to home.
Weekends here are busy: festivals, library programs, museum family days and outdoor markets all compete for the same Saturday morning. A few habits make it easier to pick well.
Many organizers post weekend events only a few days ahead, and plans change with the weather. This page updates daily, so checking again on Thursday or Friday often turns up events that were not listed earlier in the week.
Most of the year, outdoor events are most comfortable in the morning. A common local pattern is a park, beach or farmers market early, then a museum, library or indoor playground for the hot afternoon. Summer afternoons often bring thunderstorms, so an indoor backup is worth having.
Library branches in both counties run free weekend programs, and many festivals, movie nights and community days are free to attend. See our free events in Miami-Dade and free events in Broward for options any day of the week.
Traffic between Miami-Dade and Broward can turn a short outing into a long drive. Use the map view above, or browse by area: Miami-Dade, Broward, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Families with little ones can also check toddler activities across South Florida.
