Eleven Best Things to Do This Weekend in Miami

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. You know, in the sense that people look mad stressed at the mall; Coast 97.3 FM changed its format to all holiday tunes, all the time; and local news stations are littered with segments on how to stay safe during the holiday season.

Folks have seemingly forgotten about all the cool, non-holiday related stuff going down ’round the Magic City. From classic rock shows to womp-womp music, the weekend’s packed with something for everybody.

Check our our list of best things to do this weekend after the cut.

Friday

• Suenalo: New Times’ Best Latin Band of 2011 perform a free show in Little Havana tonight. Seriously, no es mentira.
• Sleeping Beauty: The classic fairy-tale retold in a feminist-friendly manner. 
• Twain and Shaw do Lunch: This is the last week to catch this brilliant play before it’s sent away to theatre retirement home. 
• Siempre Vivire: Photographic Portraits of Celia Cruz: Have y’all been by Library’s Hispanic Branch to pay tribute to the salsa queen? 
• Outdoor Ice Skating in Downtown Miami: Ice skating in 80-degree weather? Yes please.

Saturday
