July 3, 2025
There’s something about a long summer weekend that makes everything feel more festive—the scent of delicious food in the air, the sparkle of evening lights, and the simple joy of spending time with friends and family. This year, Aventura Mall invites you to celebrate the season in a way that’s fresh, stylish, and oh-so-fun—with tasty bites, locally made goods, and summer fashion finds that’ll have you looking your best from backyard gatherings to beachside escapes.
Pack the Perfect Picnic with Eataly
Planning a laid-back picnic or an intimate summer gathering? Create a picture-perfect spread with gourmet selections from Eataly that make dining outdoors feel effortlessly elevated. Think vibrant seasonal produce, fresh-baked focaccia, artisanal cheeses, antipasti, and sweet Italian treats, all ideal for packing up and enjoying under the sun. Whether you’re headed to the beach, or the park, or simply setting up a blanket in your backyard, these thoughtfully curated bites bring a taste of Italy to your summer celebration.
Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar: Your Weekend Brunch Destination
If brunch is more your style, Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar is kicking off the holiday weekend with a Three-Day Bottomless Brunch Weekend starting on Friday, July 4. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday through Sunday, enjoy endless mimosas, bloody marys, and signature sips like Funky Buddha and 42 Hazy Daze, all paired with crave-worthy dishes like Tres Leches French Toast, Southern Fried Chicken & Waffles, and the Hangover Sandwich. Make sure you add Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar to your weekend brunch schedule, whether you’re fueling up before a day of shopping or gathering with friends to celebrate.

After (or before) a sun-soaked day of celebration, there’s no better way to cool down than with something sweet—and Aventura Mall has just the thing. Head to Venchi, the luxurious Italian ChocoGelateria, where gelato, chocolate, and crepes are crafted with elegance and intention. Prefer something a little more playful?
