Things to do in Florida October 21, 22, 23, 2011

ButterflyFest - Florida Museum of Natural History

There are lots of cool things to do in Florida October 21, 22, 23, 2011 with COOL being the operative word. After the dog days of summer, it's great to get outdoors and enjoy the fall weather with festivals and fairs all over the state capitalizing on the welcome October air. And even for those who'll miss the summer heat, events like the ButterflyFest October 22nd and 23rd at the Florida Museum of Natural History remind us this is still Florida and a warm beautiful day is never really that far away. As a matter of fact, it may get down right hot in Coral Gables this weekend with the Gables Hispanic Cultural Festival set for Saturday the 22nd. Caliente! For some, the only things to do in Florida October 21, 22, 23, 2011 are the ones that bubble bubble with toil and trouble. Yes, Halloween in Florida is also here with more restless spirits and candlelight tales to keep you up at night than a G20 summit. Then of course for those living in or near Sarasota, FL, the things to do in Florida go even beyond October 21, 22, 23, beginning October 24 with John Hamilton Gillespie Week. Just think, a whole week of food, merriment and song! Now THAT 's cool.

Sarasota, FL
