The event also brings over 250 publishers to the area, bringing books and other literary novelties. Book collectors will want to attend the fair as antiquarians are in attendance, showcasing valuables like signed first editions and original manuscripts.

There's no end to the recreation opportunities available at John Pennenkamp Coral Reef State Park. Fishing, camping and swimming are just the beginning of the fun. The park offers snorkeling tours, scuba diving tours, cruise tours on a glass bottom boat, and canoe and kayak rentals so you can explore the waters on your own.

Enjoy an intimate performance at the Manuel Artime Theater, one of the area's smallest theaters. Though the venue is small, the stage is rather large, making this venue perfect for dance, theater, opera and symphony presentations. The up-close entertainment experience offered here is one that you won't want to miss, especially if you're an avid theater fan.

Enjoy a variety of exhibits at the Miami Children's Museum. The museum is home to hundreds of engaging exhibits that explore the arts, culture, community, communication and more. Some of the fascinating, hands-on exhibitions you'll encounter here include Castle of Dreams, Pet Central, Meet Miami, The Sea and Me, and All About Art.
