Here’s what’s open and closed in Miami on Halloween weekend (and curfew info)
It’s Halloween weekend, but you can forget the ghosts and ghouls. The really scary thing is trying to keep up with the curfew rules in Miami and Miami-Dade.
The county curfew stands at midnight-6 a.m. The city of Miami, however, no longer enforces Miami-Dade’s midnight curfew while county lawyers fight to keep it viable amid a court fight with a strip club.
Got it? OK, also remember that businesses are allowed to enforce mask requirements, so you still need to wear a mask when you go out.
Here’s what you can do in Miami the weekend of Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
Special events
E11even reopens: The nightclub opens its doors on Thursday, Oct. 29, but things will be a little different than they were back in the pre-COVID days. Reservations and masks are a must. Hours have changed, too: For now, it’s open 8 p.m.-8 a.m. Thursday-Sunday.
Halloween: The full moon rises Oct. 31, just in time for the scariest fun holiday. Grown ups can attend Halloween parties with spooky-themed drinks this weekend, but there also are Halloween events for kids.
RESTAURANTS
Restaurants are open. Those that have space to accommodate more tables while also keeping a six-foot separation between tables are allowed to open at 100 percent capacity. Only six people are allowed per table (or 10 if they are from the same household ).
If you are still not interested in dining out, Miami Herald food editor Carlos Frias has some suggestions.

Miami-Dade bars are allowed to open. Bars with only counter service can reach 50 percent capacity with seating separated as far as possible.
