Saturday
- Whoa, etiquette crash-course for children, at the Ritz Carlton (scroll to the bottom), $58 each: “‘Elbows off the table’ and ‘napkins in your lap’ are just two etiquette tips to be shared with children during a two-hour class complete with a gourmet four-course meal . . . to help prepare young South Florida children ages 6-12 for the busy social season.”

Sunday
- Fairchild Ramble for the gardeners.
- Soulfrito, urban latin music festival at Bayfront Park.

The Fairchild Ramble is also on Saturday.
I know it’s not really Miami, so if need be please delete this post. But there is also the Autumn Music Festival going on this weekend (Saturday) in Ft. Lauderdale. It’s free and should be fun.
