On SUNDAY, October 18, 3-6pm, the monthly THINGS SWAP goes on location to Peacock Park in Coconut Grove, located at 2820 McFarlane Road to participate in
Clean & SCREAM: Coastal Cleanup & Halloween Swap presented in partnership with Debris Free Oceans and City of Miami Commissioner Damian Pardo’s Office. In addition to a Halloween costume & decoration swap, there will be a coastal cleanup!

Bring no more than 10 gently used Halloween-themed items - things that are clean, functional, and ready for a new owner! You can also come without things to swap and make a Pay What You Value tax deductible donation to The Things Lab for things you take home.

Be kind, respect everyone’s finds, and enjoy the good vibes!

Any leftover items will be donated to The Things Lab. You are also welcome to take your unclaimed donations home with you. That way, nothing goes to waste!

The Things Lab is supported in part by members, partners, and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
