The greatest holiday tradition is giving back! For more than 75 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s beloved Christmas Tree Lot has been a cherished holiday tradition, spreading joy and the magic of the season to families across South Florida while helping create brighter futures for Miami-Dade youth.

The tradition continues with the Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot at Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s Hank Kline Club, open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., starting Monday, Nov. 23, until trees are sold out. For the fourth consecutive year, long-time supporter Thoma Bravo returns as the tree lot’s sponsor.

The annual tradition is part of the nonprofit organization’s year-long 80th anniversary celebration, marking eight decades of providing mentorship, educational support, and enrichment opportunities to local youth.

To kick off the holiday season, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will host a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, Nov. 23, at 4 p.m.
All Fraser fir trees are hand-selected in North Carolina by Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s President Alex Rodriguez-Roig. Trees range from 5-feet to 14-feet tall, with prices starting at $65. Poinsettias will also be available starting at $15. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to Sponsor-A-Child to help make a positive impact in the life of a Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade youth member.

The Thoma Bravo Christmas Tree Lot will be open on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and on Black Friday, Friday, Nov. 27, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Every Black Friday, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade sells a tree on average every 63 seconds.

From one-on-one mentoring and STEM education to tutoring, sports, and the arts, proceeds help fund the Clubs’ mission to help every child reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

A bicycle can be a big-ticket item that lands on holiday gift lists every year, but not every family can afford to fulfill that wish. For 45 years, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has been collecting gently used bicycles from the community that will be passed along to local children and teens who are yearning for a set of wheels. From October 1 until December 20, the community is encouraged to bring bikes they’re no longer riding to any Rick Case Automotive Group dealership.

The dealerships will ensure the bolts are tightened and the tires are inflated before distributing the bikes to children and teens at the Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Women in Distress and other local charitable organizations, churches, synagogues and schools. Since 1982, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has had an incredible impact on local communities by collecting more than 124,000 bikes in Georgia, Florida and Ohio over the course of 45 years from generous members of the community.

Bikes can be dropped off at the following Rick Case Automotive Group dealerships:
• Rick Case Honda / 15700 Rick Case Honda Way (I-75 at Griffin Road), Davie
• Rick Case Acura / 875 North State Road 7 (on 441 at Sunrise), Ft. Lauderdale

Cost: General admission tickets start at $49.99. Fast pass tickets cost $99.99 (plus fee).

Sounds of Screams (SOS), a full-scale, multimillion-dollar Halloween amusement park is taking over the Miami-Dade Fair & Expo Center. The massive new attraction features 13 acres of fear including five haunted houses, immersive scare zones (like a creepy cemetery), carnival rides, live entertainment, food (from horror-themed treats and gourmet street food to desserts), drinks and an adults-only psychological horror experience to Miami. The five haunted houses are as follows:

• Mitos: Takes visitors on an immersive descent into the legends of Latin America, stories whispered for generations and the unknown that refuses to stay buried. These are not just tales… they are warnings. Step into a forgotten Mexican pueblo, where something is already waiting for you. As you move deeper, you’ll cross into Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Puerto Rico, and beyond.

• The Trials of 1692: Step back into 1692 and experience the terror of the Salem witch trials. Witness a trial unfold in the courtroom, find yourself imprisoned alongside accused witches, escape into Salem Village, and enter the infamous Witch’s House, where dark rituals and forbidden magic come alive.

• The Infected: A classified life engineering corporation fell silent the moment an outbreak began. Doors sealed, personnel trapped, infection spreading in the Lab. Now, a crashed delivery truck has ripped open the only way inside. Step through the wreckage and descend into the lab’s twisted remains, where something is still alive… and it’s waiting. There is 100% chance that all guests will experience close range encounters.

• Dead End: An abandoned car lot full of surprising characters enclosed within a perimeter wall of old shipping containers. Guests will walk through a mysterious collection of junk cars and will have to figure out how to find their way back to the amusement park.

• SOS House (for adults only): Enter the home of Jack Hunter, a serial killer hiding behind the lens of a photographer. What begins as an obsession with capturing the perfect portrait quickly reveals something far more disturbing. Make your way through his home, darkroom, and bloody workspace as you discover what happened to his previous subjects and the horrifying collection he’s created from his victims. Graphic, disturbing, and strictly 18+. There is 100% chance guests will experience a high level of psychological tension at this house.

Now in its twelfth year, “Mouse King” invites audiences to step into a whimsical world where the mice take center stage and the Nutcracker isn’t quite the hero he’s been made out to be. Packed with heart, humor, and holiday wonder, the musical brings together a vibrant cast of young Miami performers, spectacular puppetry, and show-stopping special effects for an unforgettable seasonal tradition.

“Twelve years ago, Noel MacNeal shared an idea, and I nudged him to take it from page to stage. We met in a coffee shop to dream up Mouse King, and somehow that little spark has become a South Florida holiday tradition,” says composer Jim Camacho. “Thanks to our incredible kids, professional actors and puppeteers, and the extraordinary puppets crafted by James Wojtal of Henson and Sesame Street, the spirit of Christmas fills the Mandelstam Theater every year.”

Featuring puppets crafted by master puppeteer James Wojtal Jr. – whose work has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – the production also welcomes guest artists from New York City. Together, they bring MacNeal’s imaginative retelling to life in a way that captivates first-timers and returning families alike.

With a one-hour runtime and no intermission, “Mouse King” is designed for audiences of all ages (minimum age 3). The production remains one of Miami’s most cherished seasonal outings, drawing families back year after year to celebrate the magic of storytelling, community, and Chrismouse cheer.

2025 PERFORMANCE DATES
Friday, December 12 – 7 PM
Saturday, December 13 – 12 PM & 7 PM
Sunday, December 14 – 12 PM

All children, regardless of age, require a ticket. Minimum age is 3 years.

ABOUT “MOUSE KING”
A holiday musical for the whole family, “Mouse King” retells the classic Nutcracker story from the perspective of the mice – complete with enchanting music, handcrafted puppets, and a cast of talented young performers from across the Miami community. Created by acclaimed puppeteer Noel MacNeal (The Muppets, Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame Street) and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, the musical has become a cherished South Florida tradition celebrating its twelfth year in 2025.

Cost: Tickets start at $35 (plus fees)

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO), led by Sebrina María Alfonso, returns to illuminate and inspire joy this holiday season with its beloved performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah (Part 1, the Christmas portion) culminating in the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus, and modern Holiday Pops favorites on December 6, at 7:30 p.m., at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale. SFSO will be joined by vocal soloists Katherine Henly (soprano), Maggie Reneé (mezzo-soprano), Christopher W. Waite (tenor), Neil Nelson (bass-baritone) and the South Florida Symphony Chorus. Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concerts, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composer.

SFSO’s 2025 holiday program will open with a selection of Holiday Pops festive favorites including “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” “The Prayer” (as made popular by Andrea Bocelli), “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” (as made popular by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani), “Christmas Canon” (made popular by Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and “Festive Sounds of Hanukkah.” Audiences are also invited to sing along to a special medley of cherished classics – “Jingle, Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World” and more.

Per tradition, SFSO will close the joyous evening with Part I of Handel’s Messiah culminating with the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus as sung by the South Florida Symphony Chorus, made-up of seasoned chorale singers and community talent, directed by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios. Rios and Maestra Alfonso collaborated to create the South Florida Symphony Chorus in 2019, which made its debut at the Beethoven 250th celebration in February of 2020.

SFSO’s 28th season of “Juxtapositions” explores beauty in contrasts, where the bold and the sublime intersect, and timeless masterpieces share the stage with today’s most compelling and celebrated musical voices. From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” symphony to the sun-drenched skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — performances burst with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair. SFSO is also proud to present upcoming orchestra firsts by GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian-American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future, featuring the iconic films screened live with audio and musical accompaniment, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. Back by popular demand, SFSO will accompany ARRIVAL from Sweden: The Music of ABBA on Feb. 26 at the Broward Center.

Tickets for Handel’s Messiah are on sale now beginning at $35.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s Handel’s Messiah and Holiday Pops at Barry University 12/8/24

Miami Shores, Florida, 33161
Website
Cost: Tickets start at $25 (plus fees)

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO), led by Sebrina María Alfonso, returns to illuminate and inspire joy this holiday season with its beloved performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah (Part 1, the Christmas portion) culminating in the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus, and timeless uplifting Holiday Pops on December 8, at 4 p.m., at Barry University in Miami. SFSO will be joined by vocal soloists Rachel Blaustein (soprano), Lisa Marie Rogali (mezzo-soprano), Norman Shankle (tenor) and Rafael Porto (bass-baritone) and the South Florida Symphony Chorus.

Each season, orchestras the world over delight in performing one of classical music’s most well-known and uplifting masterworks. Jonathan Kandell of Smithsonian magazine writes, “A musical rite of the holiday season, the Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners 250 years after the composer’s death.” In 1789, Mozart posthumously paid Handel the supreme compliment of reorchestrating Messiah but even Mozart confessed himself to be humble in the face of Handel’s genius describing his orchestrations: “When he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.” In 1823, Beethoven proclaimed Handel to be the ‘greatest’ composer that ever lived.

SFSO’s 2024 holiday program will open with a selection of Holiday Pops festive favorites including “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Ocho Kandalikas,” “Ave Maria” (Schubert), and “Dreidel Song.” Audiences are also invited to sing along to a special medley of cherished classics – “Jingle, Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World” and more.

Per tradition, SFSO will close the joyous evening with Part I of Handel’s Messiah culminating with the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus as sung by the South Florida Symphony Chorus, made-up of seasoned chorale singers and community talent, directed by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios. Rios and Maestra Alfonso collaborated to create the South Florida Symphony Chorus in 2019, which made its debut at the Beethoven 250th celebration in February of 2020.

Now in its 27th season, SFSO invites audiences to a tantalizing lineup of Icons & Rebels performances featuring upcoming works by Mozart, Strauss and Berlioz, plus an eagerly anticipated orchestra premiere of Bernstein’s satirical masterpiece Candide. The concerts will take place in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Key West.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence by inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations have included performances with ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

Tickets for Handel’s Messiah start at $25 (plus fees) for the December 8 performance at Barry University’s Shepard & Ruth K. Broad Performing Arts Center (11300 NE 2nd Ave in Miami Shores). Order online at southfloridasymphony.org/handels-messiah or via phone at (954) 522-8445.
