It's a new week -- a time to start fresh, clean the slate, wipe away the weekend's mistakes and bad decisions. Or, just count down the days 'til you can do them all over again. Whatever works.

This week, we've rounded up the best in gratis entertainment for the next five days, from movie screenings to Cuban tunes to Wynwood Walls. Enjoy.

Wednesday

Wynwood mural bike tour at Panther Coffee: The famous murals scrawled all over Wynwood are more than just random attempts at spraypaint. Learn their stories and pick up plenty of small talk fodder for Wood Tavern.

Thursday

Le Parody concert at Centro Cultural Espanol: The Spanish "folktronica" musical duo will play tunes via ukelele and keyboard for an eager audience.
Macy's American Icons party at Macy's Aventura: This ode to Americana will feature makeovers, comedians, food, music, a chef battle and more -- all in tribute to the red, white and blue.

Friday

Big Night in Little Haiti at Little Haiti Cultural Center: Listen to legendary Haitian rasin (roots) group Boukman Eksperyans and check out art, food, vendors and other diversions.
Thor the Dark World at North Shore Park Bandshell: Chris Hemsworth or Tom Hiddleston: pick your heartthrob and drool the night away under the stars.
Cuba Libre Block Party at the Globe Cafe: This free annual bash is all about Cuban culture, from cigars to cocktails to live tunes.
