Free Events This Week: Art, Lord of the Rings and Green Market

Cute and cuddly Punxatawney Phil spit in America’s face yesterday, letting our neighbors to the north know they’d be suffering through another six weeks of polar vortex hell. A pity.

In other news, it was 80 degrees and sunny here all weekend.

It’s pretty clear we’ve all made the right choice.

In the spirit of loving where we live, here are a bunch of free things to do this week. Get out there and enjoy paradise already.

Tuesday

• Donation Day at Lowe Art Museum: Pony up whatever you can spare and spend some time at Miami’s first-ever art museum.

Wednesday

• Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers at SoundScape: Remember when it wasn’t all about Bilbo? Get a blast from LOTR past on a 7,000-foot projection wall.

Thursday

• Grove Green Market at Coconut Grove Playhouse Parking Lot:Emu eggs and vegan eats are always a win.

Friday

• First Friday jaunt at Collins Park ArtScape: Escape South Beach for an evening and explore the northerly territory of MB. Wander in and out of galleries and enjoy food, drinks and a dalliance or two, if you’re lucky.
