The 42nd Annual Miami Harvest Festival returns on Nov. 19 and 20, and it’s as big as ever, with live music, Buckler’s Craft Fair, a classic car show and more.
It wouldn’t be a harvest festival without local goods, and the Miami Harvest will not disappoint. The festival will feature vendors offering homemade fudge and candy, jams and jellies, wine slushies, gourmet food and more.
Buckler’s Craft Fair, a traveling Florida craft fair, will make an appearance at the festival. Reclaimed wood, recycled tires and wreaths are just some of the items craft fair vendors are expected to sell. Local vendors will be sporting their creations too, like jewelry, stained glass, folk art, homemade furniture or crocheted pieces, among other items.
The event will also feature many types of entertainment, with musicians, child-oriented events, contests and more. On Nov. 19, Ramblin Jennings will perform from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by the Leewood K-8 Glee Chorus from 2-3 p.m. On Nov. 20, Jennings will perform again at the same time, followed by the Show Choir from 2-4 p.m. Between each music group there will be a cutest baby contest, with categories for boys 0-24 months and girls 0-24 months. Registration for the cutest baby contest is available at miamiharvest.com/cutest-baby-contest.php.
The entertainment doesn’t stop there, with a classic car show featuring older car models as well as modern sports cars. The festival will also host a model train show, as well as offer rock climbing, zip lines and hay rides. For children, an indoor kids zone will be available, as well as pony rides and a visit from Santa Claus.
Speaking of Santa Claus, his visit won’t be the only Christmas-related element of the festival. Some vendors will sell Christmas-themed goods, from ornaments to holiday décor to Christmas candy, for those starting Christmas shopping early.
With dozens of local vendors, along with entertainment and food, this festival might be worth the trip. Tickets for the festival are $12 and can be purchased at miamiharvest.com. The fair will be held at the Miami-Dade Fair Expo at 10901 Coral Way, Miami, FL 33165.
