World Cup fever has taken over Miami, and you don't need a ticket to Hard Rock Stadium to feel it. Bayfront Park is ground zero for fandom, as FIFA Fan Festival continues welcoming both international specators and locals to cheer on their teams amidst live entertainment, interactive experiences and more. Out on Miami Beach, REEFLINE has transformed Lummus Park into a beachfront installation where art and marine education collide with soccer culture (on view through June 28), while Rhythm of the Cup brings big screen game viewing to the Miami Beach Bandshell, plus a Thievery Corporation Concert on Friday. Downtown, Lost Boy Dry Goods is opening Lost Boy Clubhouse on Flagler Street, a new fan destination launching June 27 for Portugal vs. Colombia with giant screens, a pickup soccer pitch, and stadium-quality sound. Pivoting away from the fútbol frenzy, Wynwood Pride closes out its final weekend with one last round of parties and programming across the arts district, and if you need a break from crowds and noise, the museums are having a moment of their own: PAMM opens Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols on June 25, the largest presentation of the artist's work ever mounted in Florida, while Gary Nader Art Centre offers a different vantage point, pairing Basquiat with Wifredo Lam and a collection of Songye masks and figures from Central Africa.

Curated below is our guide to all the special events and happenings worth checking out over the next seven days, but should you prefer to plan your weeks in advance, here's our curated guide to everything happening in June in Miami. If you're looking specifically for what to do this weekend, we've got a guide for that, too.

You don't need a ticket to Hard Rock Stadium to feel like you're at the World Cup this summer. The FIFA Fan Festival takes over Bayfront Park for 23 days, turning 436,000 square feet of downtown waterfront into the city's main public gathering point for the tournament. All seven Miami matches screen live on giant LED displays, with a 10,000-capacity amphitheater hosting concerts and cultural programming in between fixtures. Expect food and drink activations, interactive installations, and a daily attendance of up to 30,000 people from every corner of the world. The festival runs June 13 through July 5 and is free to attend.

A new storefront in Wynwood looks like a retro convenience store, fully stocked with Cheez-Its, Cheetos, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, and Liquid Death, except every single item on the shelves is actually a sock. ODDMART, created by the licensed accessories brand Odd Sox, turns more than 100 recognizable consumer brands into wearable collectibles housed inside their own authentic packaging. The space goes well beyond shopping with larger-than-life installations, live DJ sets, and rotating surprise activations throughout the run. The exterior carries a custom mural by Miami artist Golden 305, tying the pop-up directly into Wynwood's street art identity. Miami is the second stop after a debut in Tampa, with Las Vegas, New York, and Tokyo still to come.

Downtown's favorite neighborhood bar is rolling out the turf for the World Cup, turning Flagler Street into a blockwide viewing party with giant LED screens, stadium-quality sound, and a pitch out front for pickup games between matches. Located just blocks away from the FIFA Fan Fest, The Lost Boy Clubhouse opens with Portugal vs. Colombia, which is sure to be one of Miami's rowdiest games, and will showcase every match throughout the duration of the tournament. Seating and tables are first come, first served, and there will be plenty of food and specialty drink offerings available, plus other fun fan surprises.   

6. Pasta Making Class at Pasta

Every Wednesday night, Wynwood's PASTA opens its kitchen for a hands-on pasta-making class led by head chef Luis Jose. The restaurant — brought to life by acclaimed Peruvian chefs Juan Manuel Umbert and Janice Buraschi — blends traditional Italian technique with Peruvian influence, and the class reflects exactly that: you'll mix, knead and shape your own pasta before sitting down to eat what you made. A welcome cocktail, appetizer and dessert round out the evening.

REEFLINE, the underwater sculpture park and hybrid reef off Miami Beach, is bringing its mission onto land for the World Cup. Big Goals, a site-specific installation by PLAYLAB, INC., transforms the sand at 12th Street into an oversized soccer pitch with two extra-large goals, their nets hand-crocheted from reclaimed and discarded textiles by Jessica Trosman and Emiliano Miliyo, who worked with a collective of women weavers from cooperatives in Argentina. The project runs through June 28 and partners with Plastic Fisherman for guided plastic fishing sessions and demonstrations on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 3 to 7pm, turning collected materials into public pieces like benches. The installation is free and open daily to the public from 2 to 8pm

Now in its eighth year, Wynwood Pride takes over the arts district across all four weekends of June — Thursdays through Sundays, with something different each week. The programming runs the full range: the Miss Wynwood Pride pageant hosted by FKA Twink (June 5), the CommuniTEA Dance at the Arsht Center headlined by Alyssa Edwards (June 7), pool parties, drag brunches at Wyn Wyn (June 7 and 28), club nights, and the Big Wig Drag Fest closing out the month on June 26 at Casa Nube with 40-plus performers across three stages. Over 10,000 attendees are expected across the month. Events are spread across Wynwood venues including R House, Las Rosas, MAD Live, Domicile, and The Corner.

The Balloon Museum's globe-trotting "Pop Air" exhibition has landed at Mana Wynwood, turning one of the neighborhood's most cavernous spaces into an entire immersive environment dedicated to inflatable art. The show has already toured Rome, Paris, New York, and LA, and the Wynwood footprint gives these installations more room than they've had anywhere. You're meant to wander, touch, and interact—through a geometric inflatable labyrinth, a suspended sphere installation that responds to movement, a room where balloons swirl in controlled tornadoes, and a massive LED-lit butterfly you can power yourself by pedaling. The standout is Hyperstudio's luminous projection-filled ecosystem of swings and shooting stars. Budget more time than you think you'll need; you'll want to stop and appreciate the scale of everything after filling your camera roll with selfies.
