Where to Celebrate?
Word / Miami Vibes Magazine | IG: miamivibesmag
There are many national holidays in August. And the best thing about them is that they fall during the summer time. So you can enjoy them to the fullest. If you are looking to celebrate -
here are some of the holidays and places to celebrate them.
National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day
Well.. the name describes it plenty. You can spend this day with yourself. Just stay in your PJs and order some chocolate chip cookies. On the other hand, if you want to, then bake some cookies for yourself and your family.
And just for some diversity, try mixing up different ingredients with chocolate chip cookies (except raisins). And enjoy a movie with all these cookies.
Celebrate at Cao Chocolates
Cao's masterfully made chocolates and cookies are worthy of an art exhibition. The stunning designs and vibrant colors make these creations the perfect gift for the art enthusiast and foodie in your life. Try one of the assortments made with truffles sourced from small cacao farms around the world, in unique flavors such as chai tea, bourbon, and Thai curry.
National White wine day
There is a positive rainbow of wines in the world, but none so sweet and fair as those that are deemed white. Make no mistake, white wines are rarely if ever truly white in color, but instead are beautiful varieties of straw-yellow, gold, or yellow-green. White Wine Day was created to help celebrate this wine that stands out from all others.
Celebrate at Hanover Winery

National Beer Day
For anyone who wants to take even a little glance around their city, one of the staples that can always be found is a good bar, a friendly pub or a busy night club. Whether a person is in rural Ireland, busy Hong Kong, the backwoods of Canada or even in the United Arab Emirates, there is always someplace to have a brewski.
And this day is perfect for those that do enjoy those drinks, and to appreciate the people who make them – Beer Day!
Celebrate at Veza Sur
International Beer Day is celebrated on the first Friday of every August at pubs and breweries –or both, such as the Latin-rooted/Miami-born boutique craft brewery, VEZA SUR [ve-sah-soor], located in the Wynwood Art District.
