Doral: its sky is filled with umbrellas (the Instagram boom)

(By Belén Gandolfo Screpante) Look up at the sky at CityPlace Doral where there's a new installation for spring. It's a new and colorful umbrella installation that is lighting up the Doral destination and framing it so beautifully that it's a must-visit for both Miami residents and tourists. CityPlace Doral is one of the best places in the city to sunbathe while dining, shopping, or visiting an entertainment venue like bowling or a comedy club.

Now that spring has arrived, one of the latest additions to the center is an impressive art installation made entirely of umbrellas, just in time for the season!

Decorated in vibrant yellows, purples, pinks, blues, and greens, approximately 1300 umbrellas float above the boulevard, providing a great spectacle for visitors as they enter.

And it's perfectly Instagrammable. Selfies with the @CityPlaceDoral tag are recommended for a chance to appear on the center's social media.

So if you thought you'd seen the last of an umbrella photo after the Coral Gables Umbrella Sky Project in 2018, think again.

The brightly colored installation is actually part of "The Oasis," a recently launched outdoor experience at CityPlace Doral's Fountain Plaza. It's intended to create a relaxing outdoor atmosphere for friends and family to enjoy some of the best restaurants like Kuba Cabana and Brimstone Woodfire Grill.

Adirondack chairs, tables, umbrellas, and oversized games like chess, cornhole, and Connect Four will also be added to the experience.

The art display is not only a delightful sight, but it also provides much-needed shade for our sunny climate year-round (or a shield to help you weather the rain during spring showers).

It was presented by the local design and production company Artistic Elves, the creatives behind Aventura Mall's holiday displays and the butterfly installation at Town Center in Boca Raton.

Rainbow-colored umbrellas will be on display until June 30th. CityPlace Doral is located at 8300 NW 36th St, Doral, FL 33166. The installation is free, so there's no excuse not to visit. See you there!
