Gallery Walk, Food Festival, Drum Circle and more

Just a reminder of things going on this weekend.

Calamari 3540 Main Highway, would like you to stop in today and watch the Kentucky Derby with them there are prizes for best hats and Derby winners. Enjoy two for one drinks, too.

Tonight is the inaugural Coconut Grove Food, Wine and Music Festival, taking place on the grounds of St. Stephen's Church. There's a lot going on from 4 to 9 pm and the after party is at The Grove Spot 3324 Virginia Street).

At the festival you'll see the Coconut Grove Ballet perform and lots of music from local bands. Local chefs will also have cooking demonstrations and of course for the one price entrance fee, there is all the food and wine you could possibly ingest! Tums on the way out? Hope so. A list of events and how to get your tix is here.

The Heat is on tonight, the came is at 8 pm. Pop into any of the Grove bars and enjoy the game with drink specials! Wear white!

Stop in House of Frost on Commodore Plaza for all sorts of special cupcakes. It's a great idea for Mother's Day dinner treats.

The new Central Beer Garden and Sushi Central Lounge are open at the top floor at CocoWalk, check them out if you can.

The Bookstore in the Grove has a special day planned tomorrow for Mother's Day, stop in for Waffle Sunday and lots of other goodies and don't forget, there is a $5 off coupon to use tomorrow at the bookstore here.

The Mayfair Antique Market is open during the day Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. Stop in for some one-of-a-kind Mother's Day gifts. New dealers have set up and there is something for everyone. They are on Grand Avenue at the Mayfair Promenade. Enjoy lots of shopping in the cool air conditioning. The place is like a museum, too. Just stop in to look around if you are not in the mood to shop. You never know what you'll see there.

And it's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's Coconut Grove Gallery Walk Night. From 7 to 10 pm, enjoy all that the Grove has to offer in the way of art and music. Start at the Mayfair Promenade for the Art Stroll and then make your way around the village. Each gallery has something new featured and there are refreshments at each location.
