Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Miami lives up to its star-studded reputation plenty of times during the year, but few of those times coincide with the swampy season that is summer. So this weekend is cause for extra celebration around the 305. iHeartRadio is bringing A-listers like J.Lo, Tiësto, and Iggy Azalea to the shores of Miami Beach. It’s a pretty sweet followup to Wednesday night’s Jay Z and Beyoncé show (and you probably won’t get stuck in two hours of gridlock on your way there, either).
iHeartRadio’s pool party is just one of the many reasons to brave the heat and humidity this weekend. Here are ten ways to make the most of the next three days.
Friday
- iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party: Jennifer Lopez, Tiësto, Neon Trees, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, and Lil Jon splash down at the Fontainebleau.
- Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed: The film opens at Coral Gables Art Cinema with a special reception and appearances by director David Trueba and star Javier Camara. It’s a rare chance to catch a movie before it opens anyplace else in the nation.
- “Rebirth“: The latest installment in a recent series of Miami Marine Stadium love? This gallery exhibit.
- Block B: K-pop on SoBe. OMG.
- Miami Critical Mass: Tensions are high. Be safe out there, everyone.
Saturday
- Magic City Bicycle Collective Two-Year Anniversary: Just in case your ride gets trashed at Critical Mass.
- SoleFest: The second sneakerfest in as many weeks to hit Miami. There’s always a little wiggle room in your footwear budget, right?
- Marlins vs. A’s: It’s too hot for baseball in the rest of the country. At least here we have A/C.
- Miami Disco Fever: Shake, shake, shake your booty with Tavares.
Sunday
- Social Media Day 2014: Bring your Facebook game to a whole new level.
