From the moment you walk in there are maidens and squires to greet you. Consider it like a starving actors playhouse on a giant stage, with different stages at several locations and if you take the time to stay, funny, some actually involve the audience in their act making them do silly things and getting the crowd laughing hilariously. Some things I've never seen at other Festivals were the Jousting skills challenge and tournament. An actual fencing where you can challenge a friend or family member !!!! Yes, you put on a vest and a fencing helmet and glove and try to pop balloons attached to each others helmet. Archery. A covered sit down eating area, where a live band walks around and plays bagpipes and drums: entertaining . Free games like Balance tower and giant chess boards : which we played. After every show or act they ask for donations, which is worth it, but, does bring cost up. I took my 2 kids and it cost me $ 64 to get in, then donations for each show, then food; at the end of the day it ended up costing me $120 for the three of us. It was a great time with my kids, they were laughing and enjoying the shows and the games, so at the end it was worth it.

No one else had Stone Crab. 4- Prices where ridiculous, $15 for 6 oysters, $10 for corn, $15 for 6 shrimp with cocktail sauce, $18 for yellow rice "paella". 5- The vendors, only 4 where worth being there. Overall, I would never go back. It would be better if they would charge $25 for entrance and had more seafood, more options, MORE STONE CRAB and lower food prices.

You can access this on their site so you can complete before hand. The playground goes on for days, and the corn pit was a huge hit. My child thoroughly enjoyed making corn angels in it. LOL. Just a heads-up--on hot days, it is VERY hot here. There are also a lot of gravel areas, which are pretty miserable to push an umbrella stroller through, so bring your Rolls-Royce cruiser if you have one. They also have a blob bounce area, which is a lot of fun, but keep your eyes on the little ones! The bigger kids give no Fs around here, and apparently neither do some of their parents. So... bounce at your own risk. There's a nice selection of food options, although the wait times were pretty long. I was really looking forward to a delicious smoothie on such a hot day, but unfortunately, the drink was so warm it wasn't even drinkable. Definitely felt like a waste of money there. Overall, I'd go back because my child had such a great time on the playground, but for us, it would probably be more of a once-in-a-while outing rather than a regular trip.

This was my second visit to the RBB festival. Like other festivals at Fruit & Spice Park, you can…read moreopt to try your luck parking on the swale of SW 248 St., or you can, for only $5 park in a field on the east side of the park with it's own entrance. You pay the $10 festival admission at the same time as the parking. It is much easier this way. The price of admission lets you see the whole park, if you're into horticulture. The fest itself takes up about half the park. There were several bbq vendors, as well as a Thai food booth and a conch fritter booth (George Mira's: very delicious). I enjoyed my first visit better; some of the things that changed were 1) there were only 2 bands, whereas before there'd been at least 5. One of the bands, Southern Stampede, featuring young guitar virtuoso AJ Gaytan, was great, and alone worth the price of admission. 2) There was only one one beer vendor, Exit One Taproom of Florida City. They were good, don't get me wrong, but you only got a small cup of craft beer for $6. Previously, some food vendors were allowed to sell more mainstream beer at a better price; I bet it's probably some dumb legal rule the Miami-Dade Parks Dept. thought up! Luckily, you ARE allowed (at least through the side entrance) to bring in a cooler, so I had plenty of Bud Light (my preferred choice if I'm going to be in the hot sun listening to music for awhile). 3) The prices of the ribs were high, as they were only selling full, or in some cases, half racks. I thought it'd be a cool idea to have, say, a sampler portion at a reasonable cost so you could pick and choose. I ended up choosing a known vendor, T&W Barbecue, with a smokey Georgia style full rack, as well as an order of redneck nachos, featuring wonderfully tender pulled bbq pork. 4) This is a family friendly event, but it'd be nice if they provided a separate play area. I was seated near the stage trying to enjoy the bands, but a lot of kids and parents were playing ball and blocking the view. For the life of me, I don't know why these parents were letting their kids within feet of PA speakers blasting high decibel music with no ear protection, but.... In any case, this is an enjoyable springtime festival that is worth a visit. Just bring cash for the bbq, and your own beer filled cooler, and you'll be fine!

We had the best time at Pinto Farms this past weekend! I've visited a few of the farms in Homestead…read moreand this one is my favorite so far. The farm is huge with so many fun activities to enjoy as a family. There's also a brewery and a restaurant inside which is great and made it easy to grab food during our visit. You could easily spend half a day or even the entire day exploring and enjoying all the activities! We went during the pumpkin patch season, which is currently happening and it's super cute! They had different areas throughout the farm decorated for the season which we loved snapping photos at. We enjoyed the paddle boats, tractor ride, cars, corn maze, gem mining, pony ride and bounce pad for the kids. I can't wait to go back! Most of the attractions are included with the entry fee but there are some that require an additional fee. The entry fee is $31 during the pumpkin patch. We bought the gem mining and goat feeding experiences. Both were really nice! If you're looking for a fun way to spend the day with your family, I highly recommend visiting Pinto Farms this fall!

There's the typical ingredients that are usually used in regular cooking, but also unique finds. Great place for anyone looking for out of the box produce and discover new amazing flavors. The second reason is the arepas!!! Soft, warm, ooey and gooey! Well-made and utterly delicious. As far as parking, it can get a little tricky around noon. But after 2, it's far less stressful to find parking and walk without bumping into so many folks.

Redland Market Village is one of those places that just feels alive. If you're looking for a fun…read moreweekend outing with the family, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. There are tons of vendors, plenty of produce, food trucks, fresh juices, games and rides for kids, lots of parking, and enough things to see that you can easily spend a few hours just wandering around. My favorite part, and honestly the main reason I keep coming back, is La Fontana Verde. If you love herbs, teas, tinctures, and natural wellness, do yourself a favor and stop in. The owners are incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. My family and I always end up asking a million questions, and they never make us feel rushed. They genuinely care and are always willing to share their knowledge. It's become our go-to herb shop. The produce selection at the market is huge, and it's actually kind of fun comparing prices between vendors. My only wish is that there were more certified organic fruits and vegetables available. If organic produce is your top priority, that may be a downside. But if you're looking for seasonal fruits, including seeded watermelons (yes, fruit is supposed to have seeds!), you'll find plenty of options. Another bonus is that parts of the market are covered, so even if Florida decides to randomly rain on your plans, you can still enjoy walking around. Overall, Redland Market Village is a South Florida staple. Come for the produce, stay for the Seeded fruit, and definitely don't leave without stopping by La Fontana Verde.

The lines were very long, and I felt that some of the vendors were not even offering authentic Asian food. The large tent was especially packed, making it difficult to move around comfortably. It also didn't help that several cars were displayed inside, taking up a significant amount of space that could have been used for attendees and vendors. On top of that, the food was quite expensive. When I went to purchase a bottle of water, I was surprised to see a gratuity option added for card payments. Paying nearly $8 for a bottle of water felt excessive, especially considering how hot it was outside. Overall, I think the event had potential, but better crowd management, a larger venue, and more reasonable pricing would have made for a much better experience.

There were over 100 Cowboys from all over the country participating and there were lots of well cared for animals. There was a large crowd with many families present. I heard many languages.

Very good country and classic rock..their guitar player looked like a guy you'd see in line in Publix, but onstage, he absolutely shredded it! Improvements which could be made would be a wider variety of vendors, a wider variety of beer and wine, and some more port-johns. Also, maybe a few dining tents to offer more shade. All in all, I left full and satisfied, with a nice afternoon beer buzz.
