Luckily, here at the New Times, we’re all about bringing a little sunshine into your life (except not literally, because we’ve got more than enough of that right now in Miami). Here’s the weekly lineup of free stuff to do, so you can have fun without the wallet fall out. And if that’s not happy news, what is?
