With the upcoming holidays just around the corner, each November the Coconut Grove community seems to come alive with a renewed energy and enthusiasm that comes with the season. And few events reflect the Grove’s sense of humour and love for fun like The Great Grove Bed Race. Quite the spectacle, Saturday, diehard participants will laugh, push and dance homemade beds down Bayshore drive all for the glory of victory in a race that benefits Little Smiles of South Florida.

For those who prefer to participate in races of a more traditional sort– this weekend also brings the best of Italian cycling traditions to Coconut Grove with The Gran Fondo Italia.  A mix of moderate to more challenging courses, the two day expo offers something for riders of all levels to enjoy the weekend cycling, competing for prizes and partaking in food and wine celebrations.

Starting this Thursday, November 13th the highly acclaimed Grove Green Market is back, and with it comes Fun Under The Stars. Each Thursday, Grove-ites will be able to pair the Blue Starlite Drive-in Theater with the celebrated Farmer’s Market offering hand-picked meals to enjoy during a food and drink themed movie night.

I also wanted to note that the Coconut Grove foodie scene is getting major street cred this week. Travel and Leisure magazine has given the “Miami’s Best Burger” title to LoKal. I’ll be dropping by the local favorite that serves up sustainable and locally sourced burgers & beers.
