Miami's Ten Under $10 Weekend Party Guide

The Magic City works hard, but parties even harder. That's why the arrival of the weekend always calls for a celebration in the 305 

Sure, you could go buck wild on the Beach and party it up for 48-hours straight... Or you can have an equally fun weekend jam-packed with pretty good music and chill crowds without spending more than a Hamilton.

It's totally up to you. But if you'd rather not spend the rest of the week scraping for food, we suggest you pick the latter.

Just check out Miami's ten under $10 weekend party guide.
