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.
After last weekend’s jam-packed social schedule — Fourth of July and Florida Supercon in the same three-day span? Good lord — you’re probably feeling a little underwhelmed at your prospects for the next couple days. Where are the cosplayers? Where are the hot dogs? Where are the fireworks?
To which we would answer: They’re in the past, suckah. Start living in the present, and get ready to geek out on the near future. In store for you this weekend are art exhibits, live concerts, World Cup watch parties, and more. So what if there aren’t as many Khaleesis?

Saturday
