“What is a weekend?” Maggie Smith’s badass Dowager Countess once famously quipped on Downton Abbey. Well, we have an answer, and it doesn’t involve sitting around the house and watching the latest season of the dreary British melodrama. No — go out and enjoy the Miami sun and this perfect (yet undoubtedly fleeting) patch of perfect weather.
There are plenty of events to facilitate that: art in the gardens, national parks, and the sweet sounds of jazz. Enjoy the weekend — you know what it is and you’ve earned it. Happy weekend, Miami.
Hear the Dance at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts: Miami City Ballet performs the choreography of modern masters George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, and Paul Taylor. Tharp’s “Nine Sinatra Songs” looks especially sleek and stylish.
Miami Beach Jazz Festival at New World Center:The 88-year-old jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli headlines the daylong event. Who wouldn’t want to see an octogenarian named Bucky jam?
Charley Friedman: Western Code at Gallery Diet: Wynwood’s art galleries return this weekend after a long (and deserved) post-Basel break. Friedman’s show looks like a good bet.
Backyard Boogie at Wood Tavern: Sure, this is a monthly event, but the near-perfect weather we’ve been having makes this boozy barbecue the perfect end to the weekend.
