    The miramar cultural center always hosts wonderful events. A few months ago I took their creole class every Saturday for 5 weeks. At the end of the 5 weeks they held a graduation for all the students. The commissioner Yvonne came to give us a heartfelt speech while all of our names were individually called to receive a certificate. Afterwards, we ate Haitian food that was catered for us. It was a beautiful cultural event. I also went to the food and wine festival with my mom a few weeks ago. There were a lot of vendors with beautiful art and tasty food. The music was good and a lot of people came out to support. The most recent event that I went to was the one mile race on Saturday morning. It was really fun running through the neighborhood as a group. Getting a medal at the end felt like a nice achievement and a great way to start the weekend! It was also a good start to prepare for the Miami half marathon again. I love the events that the cultural center puts together! I can't wait for the next one!

    Built in 2008 and adjacent to city hall sits the 42,162 square foot Miramar Cultural Center. It is is located at the Southeast corner of the Flamingo Road/Red Road connector and Miramar Boulevard. The purpose of the cultural arts center is to provide cultural programs by professional artists for all ages and members of the community. The center is part of the 54 acre Town City parcel. The cultural center anchors the 15 acre Town Center which contains residences, restaurants and shopping. The cultural center is an ArtsPark, a place people can come to experience performing, visual and literary arts in a park like setting. The ArtsPark includes classrooms and workshop space, as well as exhibit and performance spaces and cultural programming by professional artists for free and low cost events so that the community can experience the arts. The Cultural Arts Center consists of an 814 seat performing arts theater, recital room, banquet halls capable of seating five hundred people, two art galleries, a full kitchen, and music, dance and arts/crafts classrooms.Outside is an amphitheater and a botanical and sculpture garden. The architects for this project was Cartaya & Associates and I think they did an amazing job. They created a place where you an live, catch a show, eat, and shop without having to get into your car and drive anywhere. On top of that it is absolutely beautiful. I think every city should have an ArtsPark like this. A full list of events and shows can be found on the Miramar Cultural Arts website.

    My review is just on the building from the outside as it was shut when I visited. See some information below, that I found out about it. The development of the Miramar Cultural Center - ArtsPark resulted in a significant contribution to the cultural development of southwest Broward County by allowing the City to celebrate its rich cultural diversity through a variety of programs and activities. This facility sits adjacent to City Hall and the Civic Plaza. It encompasses 47,000 square feet, which includes an 800+ seat theatre, art gallery, multi-purpose rooms, banquet hall, botanical garden, recital/rehearsal spaces, classrooms, meeting rooms, full-service kitchen, and administrative offices. The project also includes a public art water feature known as 'Vanishing View', which was designed by international artist Alison Sky. The project was completed in December 2008 and was partially funded by a $2.1 million grant from Broward County, as well as a State of Florida $500,000 Cultural Facilities Grant.

    Why didn't anyone tell me about this!!! The Miramar Cultural Center and ArtsPark wowed me this weekend, and not just because of the beautiful lighting display! This center for the performing, visual and literary arts is a splendid venue offering cultural programming by artists to the community at large. We gathered here for my niece's dance academy's Holiday Show. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the theatre, much smaller than other venues in the county, but just as accommodating. The orchestra pit isn't a pit. It's just a space between the stage and the first row (center). The musicians seemed cozily tucked in, and played freely and gleefully! The staff at the door and throughout was professional and pleasant, and the restrooms and hallways were clean. This cultural center is adjacent City Hall and the Development Services building. There are luxury condos. and small boutique-style businesses that surround it. And there is more than meets the eye, with a theatre, banquet hall, dance studio, classrooms, botanical garden, and art gallery; providing features, such as state-of-the-art lighting and sound, on-site catering, and free parking. If you're interested in reserving any of the spaces for special events or meetings, call (954) 602-4509, log on to miramarculturalcenter.org, or email: events@miramarculturalcenter.org

    Christmas tree lighting at Miramar cultural center

    I attended the Christmas tree lighting which was a joint venture between City of Miramar and the Miramar Cultural Center. It was a festive night to say the least. It was a pleasure watching the children from the Early Childhood Academy Perform Christmas songs. There were lots of activities for the kids. Christmas train ride, bounce house, pictures with Santa, and a Holiday movie on the lawn in front of City Hall. What a way to bring in the holiday. There were also food vendors present like some of which included Hungry Howie's, Grillin and Chillin. It was so beautiful to see the palm trees surrounding the property full of lights with snowflakes and ribbons. I enjoyed the eventful night and am very grateful for the city, for doing this for the community.

    Located right next to City Hall the Cultural Center was created to celebrate creating and diversity within the city. I had the opportunity to attend Yom Kippur holiday services here a few months ago and I fell in love with this venue. The services were held in the 800 seat theater. Let me start by saying that the seats were very comfortable. If your going to be sitting for two hours, a comfortable seat is definitely a plus. The lighting and sound system were both on point. We sat up front and the sound was not overpowering at all. Actually it was perfect. The theater is perfect to rent for graduations, weddings and corporate events. Botanical Gardens, banquet facilities and art galleries can all be found here. It would be a great place to have a wedding. In my dream, my significant other would propose to me in the Botanical Gardens, and then our wedding will be held here, with the cocktail hour of course being where else but in the gardens. Maybe I'm jumping the gun here because obviously I need to find my significant other first. But a lady can dream right? They offer a Kids Culture Series which is a fun way to introduce children to cultural arts. Alice in Wonderland and The Tortoise and The Hare are coming up and I must admit that I wouldn't mind seeing them again. I guess my inner child wants to come out and play. All shows include an art activity provided by the Young at Art Children's Museum and face painting. These activities start one hour prior to the start of the show. All children's shows are only $15. During the summer the cultural center offers a summer camp program for the kids too. It's not all for the kids because they have several adult shows as well. Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet and Annie are all on the schedule as well as many other shows that look interesting. The Ansin Family Art Gallery provides many art exhibitions throughout the year. I definitely want to return to take a look at the gallery. And yes, I want to come back to speak with the wedding planner to plan my future wedding...

    I was at this theatre to see the nutcracker. The show was beautifully performed. Loved everything about it! Every seat is a great seat! The theatre is on a smaller scale therefore visualizing the people on the stage is a given. There is no strain on the eye. There is alcohol, soft drinks. And snacks served just as if you were at the broward center. There is plenty of FREE parking at this location. The ticket line went very swiftly. This location is easy to get to and great for anyone! I will definitely be going back in the future for other events. The venue is beautifully set up for the holidays.

When you buy your tickets, you can also purchase bird food.

I learned that one the hard way. There is also a small café, guided tram tours, and on weekends they often have live music, especially in the evenings or during holiday events. Around Christmas, the gardens are beautifully decorated with lights, making the whole place feel even more magical.

This was my first time visiting, and the place honestly looked like a disaster. It felt like an out-of-control jungle -- and not in a good way lol. Everything looked messy and poorly maintained. Grass and weeds were literally growing over and around the plants, and nothing seemed to be kept organized or presented nicely like you normally see at other nurseries. It didn't look like intentional, lush landscaping; it looked like everything had simply been left to grow out of control without anyone really taking care of the place. The parking area is also extremely small, and the whole property almost felt like we had walked into someone's backyard or house rather than an actual nursery. On top of that, there was basically no guidance or customer service. No one came over to ask if we needed help, explain where anything was, or help us choose the right plants. It pretty much felt like, "Just go to the back, look around, and pick whatever you want." I actually enjoy visiting nurseries and understand that they're naturally going to have dirt, plants, leaves, etc., but this was completely different. With a 4.5-star rating and SO many positive reviews, I genuinely don't get it. Maybe we happened to visit on a really bad day, but based on our experience, the reviews gave us a very different expectation of what this place would be like. Unfortunately, definitely not what we expected.

These were the plants for us! We went to Sunshine Bromeliads because they offer a broad choice of plants from which to purchase. They have rows and rows of plants for $10 each - a better price than more commonly known nurseries! (They also have plants for $5 and $25 based on size and type.) The outdoor nursery has a huge area under a tarp for bromeliads that thrive in partial sun and another big area in the open for bromeliads that love full sun. Visitors can get design ideas from the garden area that has a bromeliad-lined koi pond, tree trunks festooned with bromeliad rings, clumping bromeliads used as ground cover, and bromeliads growing on fences, tree limbs, and in shallow rocks! The only thing more stunning than the hot pink, speckled purple, and striped leaves of the plants - or the multi-colored flowers from the bromeliad centers - is the customer service. This family-owned business is obviously a labor of love. We became fast friends with the owner and her family from the first time we visited (we've been back three times). During our visits they identified plants that would thrive in our yard. They always pack each plant for ease of travel. A few weeks ago the owner's daughter even gave me a tomato and pepper from her personal garden. And yesterday the owner gave hubby a birthday gift of a beautiful bromeliad in bloom! They speak English and Spanish and are open from 8 to 4 during the week and 10 to 3 on Saturdays.
