The Best Things To Do This Weekend in Miami

The weekend is finally here, and it’s not your typical weekend, the holiday weekend affords you the opportunity to see even more of the 305 (assuming that you’re staying in town). This weekend offers plenty of diversions, from dance to baseball, outdoor events and more. Plus, the king and queen of Miami – Trick Daddy and Trina – close out the weekend at Story. 

Enjoy your long weekend and live it up, Miami.

Friday: 

• Rosario Flores at The Fillmore Miami Beach: The Spanish singer/songwriter performs her diverse music spanning rumba, flamenco, bossa nova, gipsy soul, and even straightforward rock.

Saturday: 

• El Padre at Miami-Dade County Auditorium:  Ballet Flamenco La Rosa will close out the 2015 Miami Dance Festival with debut of the original flamenco ballet, El Padre. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Miami-Dade County Auditorium. 
• LEAF (Let’s Explore at Fairchild) at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden: Fairchild offers its bimonthly LEAF (Let’s Explore at Fairchild) this Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The event provides kids with the opportunity to learn about the botanical preserve and broader ecological preservation.

Sunday:

• 305 Finale with Trick Daddy and Trina at Story Nightclub: Da Mayor and Da Baddest Bitch in Miami? Yes, this is the perfect way to end your Memorial Day weekend.
