Once a year, the park hosts the Miami International Agriculture, Horse, and Cattle Show, where locals dine on food truck fare, visit the petting zoo, and check out livestock. Tropical Park also hosts the popular Santa’s Enchanted Forest, a holiday celebration brimming with bright lights, rides, and games that takes place every year between October and January.
