I know Halloween’s around the corner and it’s a given it will be the highlight of everyone’s social calendar. Miami’s Fall calendar is full of exciting events and here’s the low-down on how you can enjoy the run up to Halloween 2016:

1. Petite Artist: Hooray for Halloween! - Oct. 16, 10 AM
We’re getting into the Halloween spirit early with a spooktacular event benefitting the Miami Children’s Health Foundation. Get your “Petite Artist” over to Genius Jones in Edgewater for a local holiday art project. There’ll be arts and crafts, raffles, refreshments, a photobooth, gift bags and more for an exciting, family-friendly weekend. Sponsor HB Roswell Realty (that’s us) will bring the supplies. Along with 6 other amazing local vendors, so all you have to bring along is your tiny tot and an open heart. Reserve your spot on eventbrite.

2. Deering Estate’s Wine on Harvest Moon – Oct. 15, 7:30 PM
Celebrate the Harvest Moon with fine wine, food and art served under the golden lunar rays. In its 15th year, this annual event will be held on the lush 444-acre Deering Estate on the edge of Biscayne Bay. This year’s theme promises a “culinary safari through South Africa”. Expect crisp South African wines, local chefs whipping up their best, a high-end auction benefitting the estate as well as musical and theatrical vignettes served up against the magical setting of an environmental preserve. Tickets start $175 per person.

3. Chapman Partnership Illuminations Gala – Oct. 15, 7 PM
