Fall Festival at Shops at Merrick Park

Shops at Merrick Park, in partnership with Miami Mom Collective, invites families to welcome the season at its free Fall Festival, set in the center’s open-air Mediterranean courtyards. The afternoon features a Magical Glowing Photo Booth, family-friendly music from DJ David of Sounds Sweet Entertainment, a hands-on sensory station by Made to be Messy, fall photo ops by Card My Yard, face painting by Color Boom Miami and surprise treats throughout the day. The festival also supports Branches’ 26th Annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery, which aims to provide more than 5,000 meals to families in need across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Guests can bring instant mashed potatoes, instant stuffing, cranberry sauce or gravy, or donate online, where $10 covers one meal and $50 feeds a family of five.
