Fireside Nights returns to Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead on Saturday evenings, starting November 28 and running through December 26, from 6 to 10 at night. The seasonal program fills the park's garden setting with holiday lights, hot cocoa, cookies and fireside gathering spaces. Visitors are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs, settle in by the fire, and take in the tropical garden dressed for the season.

An evening pace for the holiday season

Unlike a crowded holiday market, Fireside Nights keeps a slow, cozy pace: warm drinks in hand, a fire to gather around, and the park's trees and paths lit for the season. It is the kind of evening that works for a date, a multigenerational outing or a quiet family night out. The 6 to 10 window leaves room to arrive after dinner or stay until the park winds down.

A Homestead tradition in the making

Fruit and Spice Park sits at 24801 SW 187th Avenue, the working garden at the center of Redland farm country, and the holiday evenings give locals a reason to see it in a new light. For families comparing Homestead and the Redland, the event is a glimpse of the community rhythm the area is known for. Bring a chair, grab a cocoa, and let the evening introduce the neighborhood.
