Mwahahahaha. It's a very spooky edition of free events in Miami.
Actually, all this stuff is pretty fun and it's cheap. Nothing too scary about that.
There is free food and candy galore, especially if you're a kid in a cute costume. That doesn't mean there aren't a few tricks up Miami's cultural sleeve. If you're looking for frights, there are a few. There's even some totally non-seasonal events to arm you with the skills you need to start a business and keep it running year-round.
But c'mon, the Halloween stuff is the best part.

Monday
- Free Grub for Kids at Pollo Tropical: Hungry kids can turn into little monsters. Feed that holwin' wolf for free at the Aventura Pollo Tropical all week. The only catch is that they've got to be wearing their costumes. As if you could get them out of those things this week anyway.
Tuesday
- Margarita Carrillo Arronte Mexico: The Cookbook: Celebrating literature never tasted so good as when this famed chef will bring her culinary adventures to life at Books & Books, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. Mexico: The Cookbook features 700 recipes from across the delicious nation, and you'll get to try some yourself.
