The Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Fall Festival returns to Memorial Hospital Miramar, 1901 Southwest 172nd Avenue, on Saturday, October 31, from 4 to 6 in the evening. Families in costume move through the grounds for trick-or-treating, and the festival adds a pumpkin patch, bounce houses, arts and crafts, and a selfie photo booth. The event is free and open to everyone.

A festival with a gentle purpose

Held on the hospital campus, the festival introduces families to the medical center in the friendliest way possible: no appointments, no tests, just pumpkins and costume parades. The bounce houses and crafts keep younger children busy while older ones vote for the best decorated pumpkin. It is the kind of community gesture that reminds families the health system belongs to the neighborhood, not the other way around.

An early evening that leaves the night open

Running from 4 to 6 in the evening, the festival fits before the main candy route, so families in western Broward can enjoy the pumpkin patch and still be home in costume by nightfall. For anyone weighing a move to Miramar, the hospital's calendar of free family events is a small sign of how the city serves its residents year round. Two hours of crafts and candy make a gentle introduction to that rhythm.
