The Abbey Silver Anniversary +1

The Abbey has been whetting beer aficionados' whistles for over 25 years (i.e., long before craft breweries were a thing). In 2020, the bar couldn't celebrate its 25-year milestone, so this weekend it's making up for lost time with a two-day celebration to mark its 25th and 26th anniversaries. Expect a lineup of craft beers, cocktails, and shots for just $6, plus a complimentary pig roast. 1 p.m. to 5 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, at the Abbey Brewing Company, 1115-1117 16th St., Miami Beach; 305-538-8110; abbeybrewinginc.com. Admission is free.

Irie's Birthday Celebration at the Oasis

Irie has long been a fixture on Miami's nightlife and event scene, so any birthday bash for the DJ is bound to be a spectacle. This year, he's throwing a "party of the people" in honor of everyone who couldn't celebrate their birthday in a big way last year. Best of all: It's free and at the Oasis, the newest outdoor venue in Wynwood. The space features plenty of room to spread around and food vendors like Mr. Mandolin, Buya, and Prince Street Pizza. 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday, at the Oasis, 2335 N. Miami Ave., Miami; oasiswynwood.com. Admission is free with RSVP via eventbrite.com.

Summer Exhibition Opening at Mindy Solomon Gallery

On Sunday, Mindy Solomon Gallery in Allapattah will debut its summer exhibitions, featuring the works of Natalia Arbelaez, Moises Salazar, and Malaika Temba (scroll down). Temba, who recently won the National YoungArts Foundation's $25,000 Jorge M. Pérez Award, is high on the list of artists to watch. The New York-based, Tanzanian-American artist is known for the way she uses textiles to weave her unique perspective. 3 to 8 p.m. Sunday, at Mindy Solomon Gallery, 848 NW 22nd St., Miami; 786-953-6917; mindysolomon.com. Admission is free with RSVP via eventbrite.com.
