More than 4,000 beer lovers from across South Florida are expected to attend the festivities, which run from 8 to 11 p.m.
- Lip Service at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre: From wide-reaching tales of crime and corruption to wacky "Florida Man" mishaps, greater stories can't be found anyplace else.

- Mother’s Day High Tea at Madi’s Tea Garden Tea Room at Madi's Tea Garden Tea Room: If anyone deserves to be treated like a princess this Mother's Day, it's your mom. So book a table at Madi's Tea Garden Tea Room for this Sunday's Mother's Day High Tea.

- The Havana Nights Film Series at the Wolfsonian-FIU: The evening begins with a guided tour of the Wolf's new exhibit, "Promising Paradise: Cuban Allure, American Seduction." After a survey of photos, posters, and items of propaganda depicting Cuba as a tropical paradise, creating a flood of American tourists to the island from the 1920s to 1950s, the experience continues to the Cinematheque across the street. There, Week-End in Havana, a 1941 musical romance starring Carmen Miranda, will screen.
- Iberia at North Beach Bandshell: Pronounced "ee-bay-ee," these actual twinsies are conjuring musical madness at the interstellar intersection of organic history and futuristic funk. The sisters draw from a myriad of influences, reaching into their colorful roots to merge English, French, and Yoruban (that means "of the people" in southwestern Nigeria) sounds, rhythms, instrumentations, and stylings.
