You know who's in town right now? Kenny Chesney.

You know who we're gonna pounce on as soon as we see him? Kenny Chesney.

There's a slew of country music's finest in town for the Tortuga Music Festival this weekend. Kenny Chesney's just one of them, but with him comes Grace Potter, Sister Hazel, Lynyrd Skynrd, The Avett Brothers and so many more.

We here in Miami don't get much of a country vibe as opposed to our north-of-the-border counter-parts, but that doesn't mean we can't relish in fun times.

Grab a cold beer and hit the beach for one of South Florida's best dang'on country shows this side of the state line.

Friday

Sweet Tooth Soiree: F@#$ cavities, get candy.

Heat v. Celtics: AAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHA

Suenalo: A signature blend of funk, reggae, Latin jazz, hip-hop, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms.

Sander Van Doorn: Dutch EDM at its finest.

Saturday

The Black's Annual Gala: Let's be real, who has the money to go to this stuff? We just like to watch the red carpet.

Artwalk: Art galleries, food trucks, and the Wynwood crowds!

Tortuga Music Festival: There is a secret society in Miami that only listens to KISS 99.9. Find them here.

Great Taste of the Grove: Rum, food, and more rum! For just $10 cover. Done!

Sunday

Kayaking 101: We've actually been thinking of purchasing a kayak. We're in Miami, they'd be so handy!

Nonpoint: There was a point to this, though. So we guess it's like a Nonpoint point.
