These are the best things to do in Miami this weekend

According to the internet’s super-official holiday calendar, Sunday, September 20, is National Brunch Day. That’s reason enough for Coconut Grove to celebrate with live jazz performances on the streets and $5 valet parking at select neighborhood locations. (If you know the Grove, you know parking is a big deal.) Several local restaurants will offer one-day-only brunch menus and added specials, including Atchana’s Homegrown Thai and the Michelin-starred Los Félix.

It doesn’t get more Miami than a quinceñera at Vizcaya. On Friday, September 18, everyone is invited to the party as Vizcaya celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with a late-night quince complete with salsa dancing, live music, art-making activities, and a magnificent quince cake. Open to all ages. Tickets range $10 to $15, free for ages 5 and under.

Museum of Miami inaugurates a new exhibition that looks back 100 years to the infamous 1926 hurricane.

Caught in the Eye: Remembering the 1926 Hurricane opens on Friday, September 18, the same day that the hurricane made landfall 100 years ago.

You scream, I scream, we all scream at The Horrorland.

Your $30-$50 ticket includes club admission, Raccoon coffee, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a mini post-run massage. Ages 21+ welcome.
