October and November are Miami Entertainment Months -filled with events, performances, and all sorts of fun. As the heat declines, the magic kicks off for the holiday season. You have Oktoberfest, the Seafood Festival, and of course, all kinds of Halloween Activities. Let’s start enjoying the fact that the rainy season is almost over, and there’s a great chance to delight ourselves during these vibrant times!
