The Rimac Concept 1 is one of the cars on display at a car show at The Deck Island Gardens this weekend.

Thanksgiving is almost here, but let’s not think about that now. What are you doing this weekend?

If the answer is “staying at home,” good for you. But if you decide to venture out, there are a few things to do.

Remember on your travels that the Miami-Dade County curfew remains at midnight-6 a.m. and masks are mandatory at businesses and attractions. Don’t leave home without one.

Here’s what is open and closed for the weekend of Nov. 20-22
