It's time for disco dancing, celebrating anniversaries and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend
We're in the midst of a (slightly cooler) fall season, which means something different in terms of the best things to do in Miami this weekend. Some people will continue to happily hit the sand at a Miami beach and go for strolls through some of our favorite parks in Miami every chance they get. While others will lean into autumn, checking out a Miami pumpkin patch and taking a seasonally appropriate sweater out for a spin. There are plenty of ways to stay busy this weekend, whether it’s a special happy hour, an outdoor concert, an event at Time Out Market Miami or a new pop-up store summoning your wallet. Looking for recs? We’ve got you below. Let’s do this weekend thing right.

Get your cameras ready: Miami Sweet’s glistening candy jungle, massive pineapple pit and other over-the-top interactive confections are taking over Aventura Mall’s third-level Treats Food Hall all holiday season long.

Blood-caked, lumbering, seemingly unstoppable: Halloween is the franchise that refuses to die.

Welcome to fall in South Florida: where one minute you’re spending the afternoon in South Beach and the next you’re frolicking through a pumpkin patch in Miami. We get it.

Deviating from a formula as well-ironed as one of its hero’s tuxes, No Time to Die bids goodbye to Daniel Craig with so many surprises, it’s tough to know where to start. There are big, unprecedented storytelling decisions; Bond relates to not one, but several women as equals; and at one point, he makes pancakes for a small child. The nicest surprise of them all, though, is just how good it is.
When is it? Opens in U.S. theaters Oct 8. Where is it? In theaters everywhere.
