April is Miami's exhale. The snowbirds are starting to flock north, the Ultra and spring break aftermath has settled, and the city gets a moment to be itself again — which, as it turns out, is pretty great. This month brings the Miami Film Festival, O Miami Poetry Festival, and Miami Beach Pride's full eleven-day program of drag shows, parades, and everything in between. Up north, Tortuga Music Festival takes over Fort Lauderdale's shoreline, while down in Homestead, Miami-Dade CountryFest brings two days of rodeo and livestock to the fairgrounds. A new event, Tequila Town makes its debut in Hialeah for anyone who needs a reason to drink on a weeknight. Warm weather, good programming, and no one fighting you for a barstool. This is the month.
