You probably don't need to look at a calendar to realize we’re nearing July–summer’s peak. Miami has been in the throes of another hot-and-rainy season for what feels like months. Weather notwithstanding, July in Miami is pretty great if you do it right. Locals know to time their outings to the Miami beaches with the daily deluge: arrive early and just leave before the 4pm storm in order to duck and cover with a discounted drink at one of Miami’s many happy hours. We don’t see many tourists this time of year except for the Fourth of July, which means a slower pace, relief from heavy traffic and July events geared toward the locals. Ahead, find our regularly updated list, in no particular order, of the best July events in Miami to add to your calendar.
