Red Room at Midline Miami
When the clock strikes midnight, the lights at Wynwood’s Midline will glow a scarlet hue for Red Room, a dance of dueling hits by Drake and Bad Bunny. Previous editions of the track-for-track battle have drawn crowds of more than 1,000 people, with lines wrapping around the building. Dress code will be enforced — no shorts, tanks, jerseys — and early arrival is strongly advised. 10 p.m. at Midline Miami, 2221 NW Miami Ct., Miami; midlinemiami.com.

Gimme Gimme Disco at Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co.
A DJ-based disco party inspired by ABBA, Gimme Gimme Disco tours the country packing dance floors in cities from New York to Atlanta. The set pulls from the Swedish act’s full catalog plus disco classics from the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Cher, and others.

Perreo del Futuro at The Ground
If the usual house and techno marathons aren’t your speed, Perreo del Futuro might just be for you. The collective has been pushing neoperreo, a futuristic iteration of reggaeton that blends bass-heavy club sounds with hyperpop energy. The series has become a fixture at The Ground, regularly hosting genre-bending acts like Six Sex for theatrical, visceral sets that live somewhere between rave and performance art. 11 p.m. at The Ground, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 305-375-0001; clubspace.com. Tickets cost $14 to $20 via dice.fm.

The Miami Short Film Festival at the Deering Estate
The Miami Short Film Festival‘s “Focus On” series comes to the Deering Estate with four documentaries answering one prompt: What does America actually look like at 250? The lineup covers a lot of ground, from the rise and fall of Francis Ford Coppola’s indie film company in the late ’60s, to six brothers who went from migrant farm workers to regional Mexican musicians, to a Space Shuttle veteran skeptical of NASA’s next big rocket launch. The evening kicks off with a cocktail reception prior to the screenings. 7 p.m. at the Deering Estate, 16701 SW 72nd Ave., Miami; 305-235-1668. Tickets cost $16 to $20 via deeringestate.org.
