International Noise Conference at Churchill's Pub

This year’s International Noise Conference kicks into high gear at Churchill’s Pub’s back patio and green room on Tuesday. Though the Little Haiti venue remains closed, the entire space will be consumed by the unrelenting clamor of local and traveling acts, each performing 15-minute sets. In keeping with tradition, the weird and wonderful lineup is helmed by curators appointed by the festival’s founder, Rat Bastard. This year’s curators include Vidium, Human Fluid Rot, Laundry Room Squelchers, and Crass Lips Records. 9 p.m. Tuesday, February 1, through Saturday, February 5, at Churchill's Pub, 5501 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-757-1807; churchillspub.com. Admission is free.

Miami Marathon and Half

Rise and shine! It’s the moment you’ve been training for the past few months. Runners from all over the country will flock to downtown Miami for the 20th-annual Miami Marathon and Half. The 26.2-mile journey will take runners through downtown, South Beach, Brickell, and Coconut Grove. There’s also a 13.1-mile half marathon and 5K option for those who are a tad less distance-ambitious. Spectators can watch the race from cheer stations located in Miami Beach, Omni, and Brickell, as well as at the finish line in Bayfront Park. 6:30 a.m. Sunday, February 6 at FTX Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; themiamimarathon.com. Admission is free for spectators.

Trivia-Oke at Bar Nancy

Karaoke heads and trivia enthusiasts alike are invited to unite at Bar Nancy on Sunday as two worlds collide for the Little Havana cocktail bar’s Trivia-Oke. While the thought of singing, thinking, and drinking might sound like too much for a Sunday, don’t fret. Organizers have conveniently split the two pastimes for a fun, best-of-both-worlds evening, with trivia starting at 8 p.m. and karaoke commencing as soon as the trivia winners are announced. 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday, February 6, at Bar Nancy, 2007 SW Eighth St., Miami; nancy305.com. Admission is free.
