Shops at Merrick Park, Coral Gables’ premier destination for fine shopping and dining, invites families to enjoy seasonal fun festivities during its Fall Celebration and Food Drive on Saturday, Oct. 29, and Sunday, Oct. 30, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The special event will benefit Branches, a nonprofit organization that provides life-changing opportunities to hardworking families and their children to help them break the cycle of generational poverty.
Guests of all ages will enjoy games on the green, live music, a special pumpkin patch photo opportunity and a Farmer’s Market (Sunday only).
Shops at Merrick Park is encouraging attending families to bring a non-perishable Thanksgiving food item (instant mashed potatoes, boxed/bagged stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, canned green beans and sweet potatoes, canned/jarred gravy) for donation to Branches. The charity also will offer gift bags containing Thanksgiving meal “fixings” for a $10 donation.
“Shops at Merrick Park is delighted to present its Fall Celebration – an opportunity for families to enjoy memorable moments together while making a difference in our community,” said Carlos Limontes, senior general manager. “This year, we’re thankful for our sponsor Belmont Village Senior Living and we’re pleased to be partnering with Branches, an organization dedicated to providing for our impoverished community members and empowering them to pursue life changing opportunities.”
After a fun-filled day of activities and shopping, families can unwind at a variety of restaurants at Shops at Merrick Park including Yard House, Sea Grill, C’est Bon, Villagio Restaurant, Sawa Restaurant & Lounge, Perry’s Steakhouse and Ecléctico Restaurant & Agave Bar.
Shops at Merrick Park’s Fall Celebration is sponsored by Belmont Village Senior Living.
