MIAMI -- The Magic City is turning 116.
    
The city of Miami is throwing a bash Saturday to celebrate. Miami was incorporated as a city in 1986 and is one of the few municipalities in the nation established by a woman. Julia Tuttle is known as the mother of Miami.
    
Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado and other city officials will be on hand for the celebration, which will include celebrity DJs, food tastings and the Brickell Art Walk. LA Sweets will distribute 2,000 cupcakes.
