The Joy and Happiness Fest holds its fall edition on Saturday, November 21, at 3 in the afternoon at Shirley Branca Park, 6900 Miramar Parkway. The free community fair is hosted by the office of Miramar Commissioner Avril K. Cherasard and follows the format the series has built across the city: live performances, comedy, games and family activities spread across the lawn.

A free afternoon built for families

Past editions of the fest have stacked the afternoon with a teen gaming truck, pet-friendly activities, kite flying and a joy parade, all at no charge. The park's playground and shaded picnic areas give families a place to settle in for the afternoon, and the early 3 o'clock start keeps the day comfortable before the evening cools down.

Free events that make a city feel like a neighborhood

Miramar's calendar of free community events keeps adding reasons for neighbors to gather, and the Joy and Happiness Fest is one of the friendliest on it. Shirley Branca Park sits at 6900 Miramar Parkway, easy to reach from Pembroke Pines, Hollywood and the rest of western Broward. Check the city's event calendar ahead of the weekend for the final schedule, and bring a chair.
