Mango Heyday

Arrive early at this weekend's International Mango Festival to beat the heat and the crowds ($25 for nonmembers; free for members) for our favorite summer celebration. Taste mangoes from around the world ($1). Shop at a tropical fruit market, then get inspired at cooking demonstrations--check out Chef Jeremiah (Gastropod) and Ayesha DeMello (Ayesha's Kitchen) on Saturday. Mango medics will diagnose what ails your tree if you bring a sample in a sealed bag. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Rd., Coral Gables; 305-667-1651 or fairchildgarden.org
