Hey South Florida! If you’re looking for something fun and frugal to do this weekend with the kids to kick off the holiday season, here are a couple of great events to attend: The South Florida Parenting Holiday Festival, or the Holiday Parade in Plantation.
The Holiday Festival runs both days this weekend, so you could attend both events if you want to…they’ll even have SNOW at the Holiday Festival!
