Finally an event that gives new meaning to the phrase “go with the flow.” The WaterFest pays tribute to all the refreshing liquid that surrounds us, besieges us in the summer, and makes up most of what we are. Created 2 years ago by some of the folks behind the King Mango Strut, the family-oriented extravaganza features more nuts than fruits. In fact those who are mad about moisture will get their freak on with activities that include spins on a water slide and Hawaiian dancing. Guest speakers will offer educational chats about agua, mermaids will make appearances, and, of course, plenty of food and drink will be available. Soak up the fun from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Biscayne Nature Center, 6767 Crandon Blvd., Key Biscayne. Admission is free but parking will cost you 4 bucks. Call 305-361-6767. — By Nina Korman
Power Run
THU 5/6
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
The organizers of the South Florida Mercedes-Benz Dealers Corporate Run 2004 strive to take competition out of boardrooms and onto the streets of downtown Miami. Open to almost anyone with a full-time corporate, governmental, or financial job (and their suffering loved ones), this 3.1-mile run/walk gives ladder climbers the opportunity to appear fit for just 1 day, and possibly drive home in a Mercedes. If you want to blister your feet, or simply sip a smoothie and watch yuppies oppressing their achy dogs, wander down to Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Blvd.) after work today. Communal warmup is at 6:15 p.m.; race is at 6:45 p.m. (Yes, workaholics, you have to leave your job at a normal hour.) Individual entry fee is $30 and benefits the South Florida Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Call 305-666-7223 or click here. — By Margaret Griffis
