­­­­­­­­By Terri Lynn, SouthFloridaReporter.com, Managing Editor, Sept. 26, 2015 – If you live in South Florida you know the day when the season shifts from summer to fall. The city of Miami Beach is spreading the word that fall is the start of their official season with an assortment of activities and events late into the year.

The city is bursting with a wealth of offerings from film and food festivals to an exciting arts program at the Bass Museum and of course, the opening season of the New World Symphony.  The choice of culinary, cultural and social events is immense.

“Miami Beach is certainly busy and fun all year long, but fall is one of the most active and engaging times to visit the city,” notes Peggy Benua, Chair, the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA).

In 2014, consistent with previous years, Miami Beach remains the most common area for visitor lodging in Miami-Dade County with the majority of visitors (48%) traveling to Miami Beach. “Miami Beach remains continuously intriguing and entertaining, with so much to do besides beaches, restaurants and nightclubs,” says Grisette Roque, Executive Director, MBVCA.
