This weekend in Miramar: July 4 fireworks, World Cup watch parties, free yoga & more
With Independence Day this weekend, there isn’t much to do but celebrate.
It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States and Miramar Regional Park is offering its free annual fireworks.
Another free offering is a FIFA World Cup round-of-16 watch party.
And don’t forget about the free classes offered by the city every week.
Here are events happening in Miramar from Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 5:
Friday
Low-impact aerobics — 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Hosted by Commissioner Yvette Colbourne, these free exercise classes are a welcoming environment for all. Low-impact aerobics focus on moves that are easy on the joints, so you can still break a sweat without jumping. This chance to work out and connect with others is held at the Vernon E. Hargray Youth Enrichment Center.
World Cup watch party — 8 p.m.
Miramar Regional Park is offering you a seat to watch two games on Friday: Argentina vs. Cape Verde at 6 p.m. and Colombia vs. Ghana at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are free and required for admission, and parking is $10. Expect food, music and a screen under the amphitheater to watch the games.
Saturday
FREE Yoga Saturdays hosted by Mayor Messam — 10 to 11 a.m.
This yoga class takes place at the Miramar Cultural Center botanical garden, with plenty of space for you to bring your mat and stretch. Follow along with the instructor’s moves that are made for all levels of yoga experience. Make sure to fill out the city’s activity release form before attending.
