These are the best things to do in Miami this weekend

After sell-out runs in Paris, Rome, and Milan, From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana arrives in Miami, opening February 6 at ICA Miami and running through June 14, 2026. The exhibition offers a rare look inside the creative universe of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, tracing how their ideas move from inspiration to execution—all by hand. Curated by Florence Müller and produced by IMG, the show brings together more than 300 Alta Moda pieces, set within immersive installations and shown alongside works by contemporary artists, celebrating the artisanry, excess, and exuberance of Italian aesthetics. 

Grammy-nominated producer Rachel Faro spotlights both legends and rising talent as curator of the 2026 Faena Jazz Series. The eighth edition of the stylish music series in Miami Beach brings six performers from across the globe to Faena Theater's intimate stage, spanning everything from jazz and blues to bossa nova, samba and even swing.

The season opens on February 4 with celebrated vocalist Catherine Russell and concludes on June 24 with OKAN, a Juno Award-winning Afro-Cuban duo known for blending folk, jazz and global rhythms. Additional artists include rising vocalist Stella Cole, trumpeter Benny Benack, Brazilian icon João Bosco and mandolin virtuoso Hamilton de Holanda.

Tickets for individual Jazz Series performances start at $70, with specially priced season ticket packages available ranging from $390 to $990. Check-in begins 45 minutes before showtime, and performances are open to guests of all ages.

Kick off a new season of cheering on our Fightin' Fish with a free, family-friendly event ahead of Opening Day. On Saturday, February 7, fans can get acquainted with the next wave of players at loanDepot park, explore the clubhouse, and enjoy a fireworks show. Feast on $1 hot dogs or upgrade to the Beerfest for $25 to sample 20 craft brews. This year’s event features the 2026 Hall of Fame class announcement and a "State of the Marlins" session with Manager Clayton McCullough. (Don't forget to sign your activity waiver online.)

February 5 at Pérez Art Museum Miami brings together literature, contemporary art, and music as part of the museum’s Black History Month programming. The evening begins at 5pm with a book signing by author and curator Rianna Jade Parker, whose book, A Brief History of Black British Art traces the artists, movements, and institutions that have shaped Britain’s cultural landscape. At 7pm, hear British-Trinidadian artist Zak Ové discussing his practice and the monumental public works currently on view in the Miami Design District, as part of PAMM's Scholl Lecture Series.

From there, the night shifts outdoors for Thursdays at PAMM, the museum’s free monthly after-hours series. From 8–10pm, Pressure Point takes over the waterfront terrace with Caribbean-leaning sounds.

If you like perusing Shopbop online, this is the IRL version. From February 6 through 8, Shopbop pops up at Mr. C Hotel with a three-day trunk show featuring brands like STAUD, Farm Rio, and Reformation, plus exclusive Miami styles from LE BOP and Danzy. Plus, each day brings a customization moment: towel embroidery with Weezie on Friday, a jewelry charm bar with Logan Tay on Saturday, and DIY bag-charm making with éliou on Sunday. The pop-up is open daily from 11am to 6pm.

Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency presents Sepia Vernacular, an exhibition that places Overtown’s past back into public view. Drawn from the City of Miami Planning Department archives, the show features more than 80 rare photographs from the 1920s–1950s, including selections from Max Waldman’s 1947 Color Town series, documenting daily life across the streets, businesses, families, and social spaces that seldom make it into Miami’s official histories. The exhibition will be taking place at the newly restored Lawson E. Thomas Building, which once served as the office of Miami-Dade County’s first Black judge and a central figure in the city’s civil rights movement. A newly commissioned mural by Anthony Mojo Reed II adds contemporary context which, together with the archival photo exhibition, frames Overtown as essential to understanding Miami, not peripheral to it.

Going strong for over two decades, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami hosts another edition of its Jazz at MOCA live music series on the plaza. Every last Friday of the month, the free outdoor concert merges art, music and community while platforming Miami's thriving live jazz scene. This month, Lisanne Lyons headlines. Having performed with the Woody Herman Orchestra, Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouveau and Arturo Sandoval, among others, she is currently the director and founder of the jazz vocal program at Florida International University. Seating for the show is first-come, first-served and begins at 7pm. Free registration also includes access to the MOCA galleries until 10pm.

THRōW Social Miami officially opens on February 5, taking over the long-dormant space that once housed Oasis Wynwood. The new venue leans into “competitive socializing,” pairing casual games – think shuffleboard, cornhole, and LED ping pong – with multiple bars, live DJs and bands. Spread across a massive indoor-outdoor footprint, the redesign keeps the scale that made Oasis a neighborhood anchor for headline shows while reworking the former food truck yard into distinct lounge areas, cabanas, and a central courtyard built for hanging out. If Wynwood’s been missing a big, all-purpose night-out spot, this one is aiming to step into that role. On Superbowl Sunday, they'll be hosting a big watch party with all you can eat buffet and bingo during commercials. 

Carnegie Hall comes to Miami! On Friday, February 6, Senegalese kora master Ablaye Cissoko and French accordionist Cyrille Brotto will be performing at Superblue as an extension of Carnegie Hall’s Well-Being Concert series. Brought to you by Live Arts Miami, Miami-Dade College's public performing arts platform, the performance places audience and musicians in a shared, floor-seated space, creating an unusually intimate listening experience. Staged inside Superblue’s digitally immersive setting, Cissoko and Brotto’s collaboration moves between West African tradition (via the 21-stringed kora, carved from a calabash gourd) and European folk —an opportunity to experience global sounds in a personal, unhurried way. 

Diehard Survivor fans and their obliging friends and family will be flocking to Jungle Island this season for a limited-time immersive pop-up celebrating 50 seasons of the pioneering CBS reality series. Launching January 31, the SURVIVOR Ultimate Fan Cafe brings the show to life through hands-on challenges, photo moments, themed food and drinks, exclusive merchandise and more.

Following a successful run in Boston, the immersive experience pays proper homage to the Survivor legacy with a mix of fan-favorite physical and mental challenges (all adapted for safe indoor play) and faithful recreations of iconic sets, like the Tribal Council fire pit, a voting confessional booth and a signature Winner’s Wall. Plus, join live watch parties every Wednesday starting February 25. (Rumor has it you might spot an alumni or two while you're there.)

Tickets are available via Bucketlisters and include a food and beverage credit for use during each 90-minute reservation.

Art Week may have come and gone, but there's still plenty to feast your eyes on around Miami this winter—including this free and open-to-the-public art installation popping up at Jungle Plaza in the Miami Design District. J’OUVERT: Zak Ové transforms the open-air space with two monumental works by the British-Trinidadian artist: The Mothership Connection (2022), a nearly 30-foot totemic sculpture merging African iconography with Afrofuturist form, and Invisible Man and the Masque of Blackness (2016), a powerful circle of forty graphite figures asserting presence, dignity and collective identity in public space.

On view from January 15 through February 9, 2026, J’OUVERT is Ové’s first solo presentation in Miami, and it's accompanied by a robust public program including an artist talk (January 16), guided tour (January 24), soca dance class (January 25), immersive sound bath (January 30), live performances (February 1, 6) and more—extending the themes of ritual, diaspora and collective presence beyond the installation itself. View the full program and RSVP in advance to secure your spot.

This long-running, weekly farmers’ market is well stocked and well attended, featuring a bounty of produce from nearby farms in the Redlands and Homestead, live music and a free yoga class at 8:30am. Vendors set up in the beautiful tree-lined parking lot of Pinecrest Gardens, which makes a weekly shopping trip pretty idyllic. Don’t miss the selection of local honey, tropical blooms and other specialty items, including cheese from independent dairy farmers and homemade guacamole. While the market takes place year-round, some growers opt to only participate during the fall and winter seasons, so consider this the best time to go. 11000 South Red Rd, Pinecrest

Gilded and crimson-draped Faena Theater is the ideal venue to experience OBSESSION, a new original production presented by Faena Live in collaboration with the Quixotic performance art collective. Nestled in Mid-Beach, the cabaret-style show blends live vocals, choreography and cinematic storytelling to take guests on a seductive 1.5-hour journey complete with lasers, projected visuals and plenty of theatrical haze. Helmed by emcee Sophia Bollman—whose credits include a stint on NBC's The Voice as part of Team Miley Cyrus and backup singing in Beyoncé's iconic Coachella performances—Faena Theater's 2026 headlining production also features the energetic stylings of Principal Violin and Musical Lead Kostia Lucky. Tickets start at $100 per person and include show admission only (food and beverages sold separately). Guests must be 18 or older, with a valid ID required upon arrival.

In tandem with the holiday season, Jungle Island's enchanting festival of lights returns for a fourth year with a new production featuring more than 37 monumental, handcrafted silk lantern scenes created by a global team of artisans, graphic designers, seamstresses and more. This year, Luminosa takes visitors on a vibrant trail of themed vignettes representing different ecosystems, from the Amazon rainforest to African savannahs, complete with cutting-edge animatronics, holograms and interactive storytelling. The popular Holiday Village also makes a return this year (through January 4), featuring Christmas trees, holiday treats like churro donut holes and coquito, a seasonal bazaar and a 30-foot Christmas tree centerpiece. 

Art, sexuality and cultural taboos converge at the Museum of Sex with the debut of its latest exhibition, Hard Art: Unruly Selections from the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection. Explore decades of boundary-pushing works spanning the 1930s to today, pulled from the private collection of one of the world’s most dynamic collectors. From playful to profound and, at times, deemed too provocative for public display, the featured works include a wide range of media that challenges convention and invites conversation. Curated with the goal of amplifying underrepresented voices and celebrating uncensored expression, artists on view include Marco Brambilla, Jimmy DeSana, Bunny Yeager, John Kayser and others.

Elliot & Erick Jiménez: El Monte is the Cuban twin photography duo’s first solo museum exhibition, marking their leap from award-winning image makers for the likes of Prada, Tiffany’s, Bad Bunny and Selena Gomez to multi-disciplinary artists on an institutional stage. Inspired by the Afro-Caribbean spiritual tradition of Lucumí and Lydia Cabrera’s seminal text El Monte, the show centers on a womb-like, chapel-meets-forest installation alongside photographs and sculptural works that explore spirituality, ancestry and identity. 

Art meets science at "Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius," a sweeping exhibition presented by Frost Science and produced by Grande Experiences in collaboration with Rome's Museo Leonardo da Vinci. On view through April 5th, 2026, the show explores da Vinci's multidisciplinary legacy with interactive displays, rare artifacts and life-size replicas of his machines, alongside immersive projections of iconic works like The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. Explore 16 themed sections, from anatomy and flight to engineering and optics, plus hands-on installations like the Vitruvian Man interactive station and the Mona Lisa Revealed exhibit, featuring the world’s only exact 360-degree replica of the painting.

Miami's biggest night for improv comedy happens every Saturday at Villain Theater in the heart of Little Haiti. Enjoy original, spontaneous live performances from some of the fiercest improvisers across South Florida. Shout out a suggestion and become a part of the action as the theater's talented cast of actors spins hysterical yarns over the course of two Second City-style improv shows. Mingle and sip beers in the lobby lounge in between sets: A ticket grants you access to both the 8:30 and 10pm showtimes.

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.
