Traffic alert: Expect detours, delays in Coconut Grove due to King Mango Strut parade
For those traveling around Coconut Grove on Sunday afternoon, prepare yourself for road closures, detours and traffic.
The King Mango Strut returned Sunday for the first time in two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The satiric and topical parade has been poking fun at Miami, the state — and the country — for nearly four decades.
The event is in the heart of downtown Coconut Grove, along Main Highway and around Charles Avenue, McFarlane Road, Grand Avenue, Southwest 32nd Avenue and Mary Street.
