Miami is preparing for the 2026 holiday season with various seasonal events and local celebrations. Major attractions include the NightGarden at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, which features illuminated botanical displays and a new ice rink located under palm trees. 

Additionally, Jungle Island will host Luminosa, an event featuring Chinese lantern displays and interactive installations.
