Friday, March 14

A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Miami Thursday night going into Friday morning, but you'll have to stay up late to catch a glimpse. If you're excited about the moon but not so much about the late-night call time, head to Regatta Grove the following afternoon for the venue's Coconut Grove Full Moon Party. The event includes a drum circle, fire performances, and even fortune-telling. Table packages are available, and guests can inquire about docking, but admission is free for walk-ups. 4 p.m. Friday, at Regatta Grove, 3415 Pan American Dr., Miami; 305-707-4667. Admission is free via eventbrite.com.
