MLB All-Star FanFest

The five-day event attended by former players, celebrities and Hall of Famers is All-Star Week’s hottest ticket. This year’s FanFest includes the showcase Hometown Heroes, which celebrates the Miami Marlins’ history all the way back to when the team was called the Florida Marlins.

Americana Picnic on Surfside Beach

Ride the July 4th wave of excitement a little longer at Surfside’s monthly community picnic. Bring the whole family (and whatever beach gear, blankets and snacks you so choose) for live music from Rachael Rage, folk storytelling and an interactive drum circle for the kiddos. Take advantage of a free yoga class by Tsamma Juice then cool off with free watermelon water. 9301 Collins Ave, Miami Beach. Fri 4–7pm; free.

Sat 8

Fit & Fun: Urban Flow Rooftop Yoga

The Langford’s recurring yoga series continues on the hotel’s stunning rooftop. Bring your own mat and prepare to sweat it out as an experienced instructor (this time it’s Julianne Aerhee) guides you through various flows. RSVP is required.

Free Family Fun Day at HistoryMiami

What to do with the kids when it’s one zillion degrees out? Take them to HistoryMiami for a full day of freebies: tours of the museum’s permanent exhibition (“Tropical Dreams: A People’s History of South Florida”), story time and DIY book workshops. Activities take place noon–4pm.

Comic Cure with Gina G

Laugh off the work week when Florida's funniest female comics take the stage: Gina G, Sheena Reagan, Angela Nacca and CinCin Boisson.

Guests are asked to use the hotel’s side entrance and make their way toward the rear cabanas.

Full Moon Over Miami River Cruise
