Saturday
One of the most important and recognizable voices in Spanish-language music, Luis Miguel, is headed to downtown Miami with his México por Siempre Tour. So many people bought tickets to see the Puerto Rican-born Mexican singer at American Airlines Arena that he added a second show — that's a lot of Luis Miguel fans. El Sol de México has had audiences swooning and feeling since the early '80s. He was the youngest male artist to win a Grammy when, at the age of 14, he was awarded one for a song he performed with the badass Sheena Easton. Since those tender years, things have only gotten bigger and better for the icon. A romántico time will be had by all. 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at American Airlines Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; aaarena.com. Tickets start at $145.

Jansell and Geomia will provide the tunes, and you'll provide the enthusiasm (as you always do). 10 p.m. Saturday at Vedado Social Club, 900 S. Miami Ave., Miami; facebook.com. Admission is free.

Did you spend the spring reading Sartre? If so, check out the "See or Not" show at Laundromat Art Space. Work by Luna Palazzolo and Eric Michael gets philosophical as hell. With their work, they ask, "If seeing is believing, is not seeing deceiving? Is reality based on perception?" They'll answer via an immersive experience to satisfy your primal and intellectual self: lights, shapes, colors, and dimensions. Sounds trippy. 6 p.m. Saturday at Laundromat Art Space, 5900 NE Second Ave., Miami; laundromatartspace.com. Admission is free.
The Wolfsonian is showing gorgeous works by British-Welsh artist, designer, and muralist Frank Brangwyn with "Bringing the Empire Home."

Sunday
Shopping at big-box stores can feel like the same old corporate bullshit on repeat. Want something original? Go deep into the craft zone at the Indie Craft Bazaar: Art & Handmade Festival. The fest will go down at Revolution Live, where homemade stuffed animals will take the place of cigarette butts and loud music for the afternoon. It will offer more than 65 booths, DIY activities such as planting your own herbs and flowers, henna tattoos, three-buck mimosas, and fancy food. Noon Sunday at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; jointherevolution.net. Admission costs $5.
Monday
When you're broke, there's nothing quite as disheartening as looking for housing. That's why Smash the Slumlords and the Liberty City Committee on Slum and Gentrification are working to address the needs of inner-city residents who are affected by slumlords, rising rents, and lack of community control. In support of Miami's LGBTQ homeless youth, the two groups have gathered for the Real (Affordable) House-Spouses of Miami, a regular first-Monday karaoke night at Hôtel Gaythering. Support your neighbors while throwing shade from the stage for a good cause. 8 p.m. Monday at Hôtel Gaythering, 1409 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; facebook.com/smashtheslumlords.

Few museums pair art and food as elegantly as Pérez Art Museum Miami, whose restaurant, Verde, overlooks PAMM's artfully designed bayfront terrace. Take that beautiful experience to the next level at a new pop-up dinner, Sustainable Supperclub, launched by James Beard Award semifinalist Janine Booth, in partnership with Stephen Starr Catering and Hungry Harvest. The meals are pricey, but they're plant-based and meant to raise awareness about food waste and offer a solution through sustainable living. 7 p.m. Tuesday at Verde, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; facebook.com/sustainablesupperclub. Tickets cost $125.
Wednesday
Tiki culture goes in and out of fashion nationwide, but for a dedicated group of fans in South Florida, rockabilly and Hawaiian shirts are always in style. For them, the "world's most authentic tiki event," the Hukilau, is better than Christmas. Taking place at the 60-year-old Polynesian-themed restaurant and bar Mai-Kai, the event takes its name from a method of fishing in ancient Hawaii. Expect delicious drinks in Moai mugs, knife dancers, and even a few mermaids. Wednesday through June 10 at Mai-Kai, 3599 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale; thehukilau.com. Tickets cost $20 to $399.
