These are the best things to do in Miami this weekend

Skate culture, techno music, and punk aesthetic collide at Andrew Music Club on Labor Day weekend. The two-day micro-festival takes place September 5-6 at the RC Cola Plant in Wynwood. Hosted by III Points and Andrew, a rare Miami skate shop with its own apparel brand, the annual event welcomes all ages for a low-key, high-energy rave featuring local talent and rising artists from all over the world. On the lineup this year, sets from London’s Ben UFO, Miami’s Rude Boy, and Berlin’s DJ Heartstring, plus a mini skate ramp, clothing pop-ups, and more. Two-day entry tickets start at $33 for general admission.

Sing “Happy Birthday” to the oldest bar in Miami Beach on Saturday, September 5, as Mac’s Club Deuce celebrates its 100th anniversary. A massive block party will descend on Washington Avenue from 4 to 11:30pm, though we’re willing to bet it’ll last much, much longer. Famously loved by Anthony Bourdain and featured in the cult 1980s series, Miami Vice, Mac’s is a rare historic gem in the city. Be there or face the FOMO.

The 52nd annual Orange Blossom Classic celebrates Black athletes and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) football programs on Sunday, September 6. Be there when the Florida A&M Rattlers go head-to-head against the defending HBCU National Champion, the South Carolina State Bulldogs. Even if football’s not your thing, the marching band performances are well worth the price of admission. Plus, Miami legends Trick Daddy and Trina will perform before the game on Sunday, September 6. Tickets start at $39 for 200-level seats.

What’s better than slow-roasted pork and a Cuban mojito, double-fisted at the same time? Dreams come true on Sunday, September 6, when Ball & Chain teams up with the ultimate Cuban staple, La Caja China, for a fun-filled Labor Day party of crispy Cuban lechón, live music, and free salsa lessons. Tickets start at $25, but we’ve got our eyes on the bottomless drink package priced at $55 per person.

Nothing says Labor Day like mind-numbing techno and European DJs, am I right? Factory Town welcomes electronic heavy hitters this weekend, including Berlin rave duo Brutalismus 3000 on September 5 and Amsterdam-based artist Sara Landry on September 6, marking her first Factory Town headline performance. Several rising acts join the lineups, including Fumi, Rocket Rese, HHUNTER, and more.

Fancy a poolside Labor Day party? Head to The Shelborne for Sweet Beach, a garden pop-up featuring local bites by Miami’s award-winning chef, Michelle Bernstein, and tropical drinks by Sweet Liberty, the hotel’s Miami Beach neighbor and lauded cocktail bar. Boogie on down Friday, September 4 through Monday, September 7. Free to attend for ages 21+.

Casa Neos hosts a series of glamorous sunset soirees on Labor Day weekend, headlined by Vanjee on Monday, September 7. Expect Mykonos party vibes, Afro-inspired house, and rooftop views of the Miami River. Reservations are recommended for entry.

The scandalous 24-hour mega-club is doing it big on Labor Day weekend with performances by Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Damaged Goods, and more. Ages 21+ are advised to purchase tickets in advance or face the wrath or snaking admission lines.
