We’re basking in the glorious weather March bringst to Miami—but it’s really all about the amazing events this month. Miami Open makes its annual star-studded splash as a haven for tennis enthusiasts and celebrity spotters alike. March also marks another year of the Ultra Music Festival as the mega EDM celebration takes over Downtown during Miami Music Week. We've got our eye on a new jazz festival in Coconut Grove along with a fresh pop-up wine garden in South Beach. But there's also plenty of low-key fun to be had, whether it's dinner at a new Miami restaurant or drinks at one of the many recently opened bars in Miami. For all the fun to look forward to this month, check out the list of the best Miami events in March.

March events in Miami

  • Things to do
  • Wynwood
This magical pop-up flea market brings some of Miami's best indie vendors to cool locations around town every month. Usually under the shade of lush trees and flowering foliage, you'll find vintage fashion, vinyl, books, plants, art, home decor, handmade jewelry, candles and more, plus local food vendor pop-ups and activities. There's always a DJ spinning, and when the flea takes place at its home base, Higher Ground at Arlo Wynwood, there's always happy hour from 3 to 6pm.

  • Miami Gardens
Our annual star-studded tennis tournament returns to its flashy home at Hard Rock Stadium. Expect the same sporty-chic crowds and luxe activations, including private cabana suites, glittering booze gardens serving copious cocktails, new culinary options and a gondola, offering a unique bird's-eye view of the grounds. Times vary.

  • Things to do
  • Wynwood
Please be kind and rewind—back to the ’90s at this immersive pop-up speakeasy in Wynwood. The Back 2 The Video Store transports guests to the glorious era of IRL movie rentals, when we’d load up in the minivan with the fam, skip into our local Blockbuster and argue over who got to pick which flicks that night. Dreamt up by the same team behind the Golden Girls Kitchen and Malibu Barbie Cafe, the themed bar packs in plenty of nostalgia (yes, you’ll get your own “membership card”), boozy cocktails, photo ops and events through April. 2250 NW 2nd Ave
  • Things to do
  • Downtown
Japanese contemporary art superstar Yayoi Kusama unveils her largest and most immersive kaleidoscopic environment this spring at Pérez Art Museum Miami. Known for her groundbreaking, psychedelic sculpture and Infinity Mirror installation works that originated in the 1960s and gave rise to today’s ubiquitous immersive art trend, Kusama has created a culmination of her artistic practice in the upcoming LOVE IS CALLING show at PAMM.  As visitors walk through the darkened, mirrored room, they’ll encounter the breadth of Kusama’s visual vocabulary: a disorienting cavern of polka-dotted, tentacle-like forms extending from the floor and ceiling, providing the room’s only source of light as they gradually change color. Meanwhile, a recording of Kusama’s voice fills the space as she recites a love poem that explores poignant, universal themes around life and death. Written by the artist, the Japanese poem’s title translates to “Residing in a Castle of Shed Tears.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Miami (@timeoutmiami)

You don't have to head to Barbieland to fulfill your fantasies, because a Malibu Barbie Café is ready to welcome you in Wynwood.

  • Performances
  • Omni
Zoetic Stage presents this thrilling, intimate production of the award-winning Broadway musical. Travel in time to 1930s Berlin, where you'll encounter a cast of expats and Germans leaving their troubles behind at a seedy cabaret as the rise of Nazism looms. Expect ear-worming musical numbers like "Willkommen" and "Don't Tell Mama," and a charming emcee as your guide in this dark and sexy dramedy. 
  • Things to do
  • Allapattah
Immersive theater achieves new artistic heights with The Museum Plays, a series of six new 10-minute plays performed inside the Rubell Museum in front of the works that inspired them. Produced by avant-garde company Miami New Drama in collaboration with the esteemed contemporary art collection, The Museum Plays runs for just 10 nights, weaving an intimate audience through the galleries as the artworks become the backdrop to unfolding, entirely original storylines.

  • Things to do
  • South Beach
Hyde Beach at the SLS South Beach is basically a nightclub—but it’s during the day, everyone's in a bathing suit and the dance floor is a pool. If it’s a Vegas-style bash with bottle service and champagne showers you seek, the SLS Pool party is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm, while the Haus of Hyde nightclub rages on from 10pm to 3am. Though weekends are the busiest, hit up the SLS pool any day of the week for a guaranteed fist-pumping good time—especially during Spring Break and Miami Music Week, when the party programming doesn't stop.  
  • Things to do
  • West Coconut Grove
The Coconut Grove Farmers Market is probably Miami’s most well-known. Every Saturday, Homestead's Glaser Organic Farms transforms an unoccupied corner of Coconut Grove into a full-fledged produce market with dozens of fruit and vegetable stands, a raw bar featuring prepared foods and salads and coolers filled with cold-pressed juices and nut mylks. There’s even velvety vegan ice cream for sale and several rows of picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your bounty. Along its periphery, you’ll find other local vendors selling honey, homemade soaps, handmade jewelry and other artisanal items. And the setup and breakdown are so fascinating to watch! Much like the circus leaving town, everyone quickly dismantles their tents and packs up just after sunset, leaving no trace of the bustling day on the empty gravel lot.
