2 min read October 2022 — Autumn is traditionally associated with bonfires, crisp air and leaves changing color before falling to the ground. However, despite what those up North might say, these staples aren’t mandatory to celebrate the arrival of fall. Miami has a plethora of events for the entire family to enjoy and Invest: has put together a few of our favorite ways to enjoy the season.
Ghost Tour
Taking a spin on the traditional haunted house, Miami Haunts offers city tours that explore the city’s not so warm and fuzzy past. Even for the skeptic at heart, this tour includes historical crimes and ghost stories that may make you believe, at least a little, in the paranormal. The standard tour is 60 minutes with eight stops, and the extended tour is 90 minutes with 12 stops.
