Happy Holidays from our “Play Family” to Yours 😊

Your “Play Family” is working hard to sprinkle holiday spirit and good cheer throughout Coral Gables. We want to bring you as much joy as possible during these unprecedented times, so please help us keep you healthy by wearing facemasks to our events and remain at least 6 feet apart from others. We hope you enjoy all our scheduled Santa sightings, but from a distance! |
