Somehow, we have made it to Labor Day. We’re not sure how this happened, but here we are. And as it does not appear that we will be under a hurricane watch this weekend, making plans to leave the house is possible.

So what’s new this weekend? Restaurants reopened Monday for indoor dining at 50 percent capacity, although you can still eat outdoors or get takeout if you prefer.

The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami in the Design District has reopened after temporarily closing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will need to reserve a timed ticket at icamiami.org/welcome-back/. The museum’s new hours are 11 a.m.-noon for senior and at-risk visitors and noon-6 p.m. for general admission.

This is also the last weekend to explore “A Mirror Maze: Numbers in Nature” at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. And if you don’t mind driving to theaters in Pembroke Pines or Hollywood, you can catch a screening of Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited “Tenet.”

Here’s what’s open and what’s closed in and around Miami on Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 4-7. Miami-Dade County’s daily curfew from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. continues for now and masks are still mandatory in Miami-Dade County.

This is the last weekend to wander the mirror maze at Frost Science Museum in Miami.

Bars are closed unless they have a food license. If they do have a license, they can only serve drinks outdoors and must abide by the Miami-Dade County curfew.

NIGHTCLUBS

Nightclubs are still closed under county rules.

BEACHES

County beaches are open.

MOVIE THEATERS

Movie theaters aren’t open in Miami-Dade County, but some theaters have reopened in Broward County. Check Fandango for theaters nearest to you.

A few pop-up drive-in movie theaters remain open, including a drive-in at the Miami Youth Fairgrounds, which is showing “Shrek” and “The Goonies” Sept. 6. The Hard Rock Stadium Fountain Open Air Plaza theater is also open this weekend, with “The Goonies,” “ET” and “Despicable Me.” At Carpool Cinema Wynwood, relieve your childhood with “Back to the Future III.”

COUNTY AND CITY PARKS

All Miami-Dade parks are open, and so are marinas and golf courses.

BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK

The park is open and has started up a new Group Snorkel Experience that makes it easier to maintain social distancing while snorkeling the reef, mangroves or even a shipwreck. Trips are four hours and capped at six people; book a trip here.
