Why Visit Miami in the Fall

Temperatures hover in the low 80s, making it ideal for outdoor adventures without the summer heat. Hotel prices often drop, beaches are less packed, and hurricane season winds down by mid-October—just in time for events like Art Basel warmups, Halloween parades, and food festivals.

Seasonal Events and Festivals

• Grovetoberfest: Miami’s largest craft beer festival, held each October in Coconut Grove.
• South Beach Seafood Festival: A multi-day celebration of Florida’s coastal cuisine.
• Miami Book Fair: A massive November literary event drawing authors and readers from around the world.
• Zoo Boo at Zoo Miami: A Halloween-themed family event with costumes, trick-or-treating, and animal encounters.

Fall-Friendly Outdoor Fun

• Deering Estate: Go ghost hunting or take a historic fall sunset cruise from this beautiful bayfront preserve.
• Biscayne National Park: Take advantage of clearer fall skies for a boat tour or snorkeling trip.

What to Eat and Drink

Fall is stone crab season, so don’t miss Joe’s Stone Crab or other local favorites. Restaurants start rolling out seasonal menus—think pumpkin-spiced cocktails, fall salads with citrus, and Latin fusion comfort foods. Visit Wynwood or Little Havana for festive vibes and craft brews with fall flair.
