For many of us, this Friday means another short reprieve from another monotonous work day. For the music-loving, party-loving cool kid masses of Miami, however, Friday means three days of non-stop art and killer music performances otherwise known as the III Points Festival. Ahead of all this stimulation overload – much of it free of charge – we’ve got a week of cultural fun to prepare you for all that weekend revelry.
Monday
- “Spells, Spirits & American Lore” at Deering Estate: Deering’s spooky new exhibit explores the macabre and mysterious nature of the Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast American regions through painting, printmaking, and artist books.
- CounterCulture Club nights at Miami Ironside: Enjoy a night of bocce ball, booze, bites, and beats by Silent Revolution with the folks from Belgian Nights Miami.
Tuesday
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
- Scary-Okee at Churchill’s: Sing metal, hip-hop, new wave, and more at Churchill’s October-fied karaoke night.
Wednesday
- Bar Games at The Annex: Get ready for a night of nostalgic fun with Jenga, Checkers, Connect Four, Miami Against Humanity, and more as you jam to the old school tunes of, Patrick & The Swayzees, plus a Dopedoll Vintage pop-up and swing dancing on the floor.
- The Dark Knight Rises at SoundScape: Free outdoor movies resume today with Batman and Bane.
Thursday
- Nerd Nite at Gramps: Booze it up and get knowledged up about Florida’s scary specialties: invasive species and sharks.
- Dance Band Night at North Beach Bandshell: Take dance lessons and enjoy live music from Barrio Abajo, performing rhythms like Cumbia, Bullerengue, Porro, the Chandé.
- “Hazor, the Head of all those Kingdoms” at Deering Estate: Dr. Curtis McKinney will discuss his tours of Hazor, a Canaanite site that dates before Israel and is mentioned in the Bible, along with other Israeli sites.
- Post-Work Pizza Party at Sweat Records: Chow down on complimentary pizza and PBR as you listen to AFROBETA’s latest album “Dream About You.”
Friday
- Jedediah Caesar and Michael Namkung at Locust Projects: Catch both exhibits – “Stone Underground” and “Flying Towards the Ground” – before they close on Saturday.
- III Points at Wynwood: If you can’t afford the concert tickets, dive into the many activations – from art installations to games.
