Spring for the VIP ticket ($250) and get access to a late-night after-party at R House.
Three Irish Poets: A Reading for O, Miami
O, Miami Poetry Month wraps up in a few days but you still have time to squeeze in a few verses. Head to the Betsy Hotel for readings by three Irish poets—Tara Bergin, Julie Morrissy and Paul Perry—and stick around for a demo by Wynwood Brewing and tastings of its signature La Rubia beer.
Known for its multitude of murals, Wynwood shows off a different arty side this weekend with the debut of The Bodyshop Experience, a high-powered dance show from one of Israel’s top choreographers. It’s Rent meets Stomp meets Blue Man Group done up to 2018 standards.

New World Symphony presents Side-by-Side
Talented young folks from around the world take over the NWS stage this weekend for a special concert alongside Grammy-winning artist Michael Tilson Thomas. It’s the culmination of an arduous audition and rehearsal process that began in January and concludes with Saturday’s free show.
Capping off National Poetry Month is a reading by famed San Francisco writer Jack Hirschman, who is joined by the Terni Jazz Orchestra Ensemble. Expect an evening of moving poetry set to original music as these longtime collaborators flex their artistic muscles on stage.
If you love a good margarita—and we suspect you do—then you need to find your way into this Saturday’s Margarita Rumble. The event, presented by Don Julio Tequila, makes its way to Miami for the first time, taking over MAPS Backlot to discover, once and for all, who makes the best margarita in town. Participating restaurants include Swine Southern Table & Bar, Tacology, SoCal Cantina, the Anderson, GKBistronomie and more. Your ticket grants you tasting access to fresh margs from all of the above. The Margarita Rumble will be happening simultaneously on Saturday in cities such as New York, San Francisco, Philly and Washington D.C.
