Here are some of the events happening in Miramar on Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11:
Friday
Garden clean up — 8 a.m. to noon
Get your gloves and tools ready to help clean the city’s garden.

The garden is located at 7800 Fairway Blvd.
Low impact aerobics — 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Head to the Vernon E. Hargray Youth Enrichment Center for an exercise class that is more accessible. Instead of jumping aerobic movements, this class focuses on moves that are easy on the joints. Attend for free every Friday.
Melt & Mingle — 6:30 to 9 p.m.
The Kiwanis Club of East Pines Miramar is hosting a mixer where attendees can craft and connect with each other at the Alexandra P. Davis Multi-Service Complex. Mix and pour your own candles, eat light bites and start new friendships. Tickets are $50 on Eventbrite.
Saturday
Yoga — 10 to 11 a.m.
Join Mayor Wayne M. Messam for a restorative yoga session at the Miramar Cultural Center Botanical Garden. Whether you are new to yoga or brushing up on the moves, join to stretch and unwind.
