Summer is getting intense: It's July and, believe it or not, this is not Miami's hottest month. (August gets that distinction). Weather aside, July in Miami actually has so much to offer, including trusty backup plans for a rainy day and plenty of fun things to do with kids while they're out of school.

Below, find our regularly updated guide, in no particular order, to the best July events in Miami to add to your calendar.
