The City of Miami Gardens Fall Festival
The city's annual Fall Festival is one of the biggest family events of the year in Miami Gardens. The city is inviting residents to bring the whole family for an evening of rides, games, a pumpkin patch, a haunted trail, and festive fall activities with friends and neighbors.
Double-check the address
Listings for the park show two different addresses. The city lists State Senator Oscar Braynon II Park at Rolling Oaks at 1317 NW 183rd Street, while another event listing gives 18701 NW 17th Court. Last year's festival used the 1317 NW 183rd Street address on the city calendar. Confirm with the city before you head out.
What to expect
Last year's festival ran from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. and included rides, games, vendors, contests, live entertainment, food trucks, a pumpkin patch, and a haunted trail. Admission was free, clear bags were required, and anyone under 18 had to be accompanied by an adult. Expect similar rules this year, and check the city's listing for final details.

Trick-or-treat safety tips
With Halloween on a Saturday, expect more kids out and about. Choose bright or reflective costumes, carry a flashlight or glow sticks, and stay on sidewalks and well-lit streets. Younger kids should trick-or-treat with an adult, and parents should check candy before kids dig in. Drivers, slow down in neighborhoods, especially between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m.
