Updated: Here’s what you can and can’t do in Miami this weekend. But watch the weather
Keeping track of what’s open and closed during the COVID-19 pandemic can be confusing. So if you are desperate to get out of the house, here’s what you can and can’t do this weekend.
The threat of Hurricane Isaias has currently closed beaches, parks and more starting at 8 p.m. Friday; reopening depends on the storm’s track.
Just remember that Miami-Dade County has a daily curfew from 10 p.m.-6 a.m., while Miami Beach’s entertainment district has a daily 8 p.m. curfew. The district includes Ocean Drive, Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue from Fifth to 16th streets.
Also, masks are now mandatory in Miami-Dade County with a few exceptions; if you’re caught without one, you might get fined.
Special events
Only in Dade presents “The Big Screen Comedy Drive In Show.” hosted by DJ Laz with appearances by El Caballo, Cisco Duran and Gene Harding. 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at Dezerland Park, 14401 NE 19th Ave., North Miami Beach. $50 per car; tickets at Event Brite.
Restaurants
Restaurants are open for outdoor dining, takeout or delivery under Miami-Dade County’s latest COVID-19 restrictions. Some restaurants have closed temporarily during the COVID-19 outbreak, while others have closed for good. Still others have dramatically changed their menus to better serve takeout customers.
