These are the best things to do in Miami this weekend

The highly anticipated Miami Concours returns for its ninth edition from Friday, February 13, through Sunday, February 15, once again transforming the Miami Design District into a glossy, open-air gallery for the automotive world’s most covetable machines. Equal parts car show, design exhibition and social scene, Miami Concours is less about revving engines and more about reverence—where post-war icons, rare vintage supercars and boundary-pushing modern hypercars are admired through the lenses of architecture, fashion and craftsmanship.

Across the weekend, expect a tightly curated static showcase of historic sports cars, racing legends and contemporary marvels, set against the district’s luxury storefronts and cutting-edge architecture. The energy extends beyond the cars themselves, with DJs, pop-ups, installations and culinary moments animating Jungle Plaza and surrounding streets.

The weekend unfolds in three distinct acts: a ticketed Drive-In Movie Night kicks things off on Friday, followed by an intimate VIP Collectors Dinner on Saturday. New for 2026, Sunday’s Red Carpet Showcase introduces a ticketed experience with elevated access and programming, spotlighting a bespoke lineup of hypercars and rare vintage supercars.

An extension of the Adrienne Arsht Center's Free Gospel Sundays series, the second-annual Gospel Choir Invitational brings powerhouse church, community, and collegiate choirs to the stage for a high-energy night of competition and praise. Ensembles from Florida A&M, Florida Memorial University, and across South Florida perform dynamic sets judged on vocal skill, creativity, and showmanship—with the winning choir earning a cash prize and a spot at Gospel Fest Miami. Admission is pay-what-you-can (starting at $0), and audience members get a say, too, with live voting helping decide the winner.

Wynwood Art Walk returns Saturday, February 14, from noon to 11pm, folding Valentine’s weekend into Miami’s longtime second-Saturday ritual. Across the Wynwood Arts District, galleries, museums, restaurants, and shops roll out special programming—making it an easy, walkable plan whether you’re with a date, friends, or flying solo.

Beyond gallery hopping, plenty of spots are leaning into the occasion: Otto & Pepe pairs sparkling wine with caviar, PASTA offers a three-course shared Valentine’s menu, and Cervecería La Tropical mixes live music, late-night happy hour, and a caricature activation. You’ll also find DJ sets throughout the neighborhood, extended hours and free admission at Wynwood Walls, and 40% off general admission at Paradox Museum Miami. Free, open to the public, and very much a choose-your-own-adventure kind of night. Full schedule can be found on the Wynwood Business Improvement District (Wynwood BID) website. 

Whether you want to gawk, check out marine gear, or actually pony up for a yacht, this five-day seafaring shindig lets you get comfortably nautical across six iconic venues. Anchored by the Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park, the 2026 show marks the return of the Miami Beach Yacht Collection on Collins Avenue for the first time since 2018. Explore the new Sailor's Cove for all things sailing or visit Museum Park Marina for the latest powerboats. Your one ticket includes access to all show sites, shuttle buses, and water taxis.

Ready to dive into the "No Days Off" life? Miami's Legacy fitness club in Little River has teamed up with Lululemon to launch Yet. Sessions, a four-week training program designed to build consistency and measurable progress via a packed schedule of high-intensity group classes and sweet incentives like free gear.

One of only three gyms in North America selected for the campaign, and the only Florida location, the Legacy headquarters will host Yet. Sessions three times a week—on Tuesdays at 9am, Thursdays at 7:15pm and Sundays at 8am—from February 17 through March 15. Sessions will follow the gym's signature PIT class format, a 60-minute, coach-led workout where you move through 20 stations in pairs.

Non-members can join via $35 drop-ins or a $300 full-program pass for all 12 sessions, while members attend as part of their membership. Participants who complete six sessions receive a Lululemon x Legacy top, and those who complete all 12 earn both a top and bottom, while supplies last.

If your Valentine’s weekend could use a little altitude, Florida’s largest kite festival is back at Haulover Park on February 14–15. For two afternoons, the beach turns into open airspace, with everything from classic kites to sky-sized whales, octopuses, astronauts, and parafoils stretching hundreds of feet overhead. No need to rush to Target to buy a kite; if you don't have your own, you can buy one on-site or just claim a spot in the sand and watch the chaos unfold.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. 

Miami's biggest night for improv comedy happens every Saturday at Villain Theater in the heart of Little Haiti.

Mingle and sip beers in the lobby lounge in between sets: A ticket grants you access to both the 8:30 and 10pm showtimes.

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
