For snowbirds, winter in Miami typically means sunning on the beach and indulging at all the best restaurants. But make no mistake: What we lack in snowy nights and cozy fireplaces we more than compensate for with dazzling palm tree-lined boulevards and a slew of festive holiday happenings that kick off before the last plate of turkey has even been cleared. Whether you’re in the mood for a colorful Miami take on a classic holiday show, a boozy pop-up full of Instagram-worthy photo ops or a massive, family-friendly lighted garden tour the stars, Miami has it this year. Below, find our picks to the best Christmas events in Miami for 2023. And don't forget to check back often as we add even more fun festivities throughout the season.

Miami goes over the top with most things, so you better believe our tropical paradise gets down with some Christmas lights. Our lack of snow flurries works to our advantage, as there’s nothing we can’t illuminate in this town. Tropical jungle? We’ve got every palm tree covered. Bring the lights back to Dowtown after 50 years? 2023 is it, baby. Got a boat? We're gonna need more lights!  Que Santa with the Hawaiian shirt and Birkenstocks, because the holidays just hit different here. From whimsical Christmas events to extravagant Christmas dinners, celebrating the season in Miami is as magical as anywhere else – especially when you’re taking in our twinkling scenery by sea. So get that hot cocoa to go and ride out after the sunset. Here are the best places to see spectacular holiday lights in Miami. RECOMMENDED: Guide to Christma s in Miami

 The most visually stimulating time of the year is here, folks! While we may sum up all of our artful meanderings to "Art Basel," that is but one of the many fairs that pops up during the week. Sure, it may have been the art fair to put Miami on the map, but in the 23 years since Art Basel appeared on our sandy shores, it's inspired an unravelling of satellite art fairs throughout town to satisfy all aesthetic inclinations. (Fun fact: Art Miami came first.) Let’s be clear on something: the art fairs are the best part. Sure, there are amazing once-in-a-lifetime events and parties throughout the week, and we’d definitely encourage you to go off the beaten path to marvel at the best public art pop-ups and installations. But if you truly want to get into the spirit of the week, up your arts and culture savvy, and leave feeling inspired then make it a point to go to at least one fair between December 6th and December 10th.  Ah, but there are so many. “Which one should I go to? How many can I visit in one day? Which one has the art I like?” We love Basel season so much we did the leg work for you. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the best art fairs to check out during Miami Art Week 2023. RECOMMENDED: Your guide to Art Basel Miami Beach 2023  

It's the best part of every week—the weekend, Miami!—and we're back with brand new suggestions for making the most of your days off. Thanksgiving in Miami is just a few days away, and there are a number of ways to keep yourself socializing until then (ahem, ladies night, anyone?).  Aside from all the festive fall happenings, highlights this weekend include The Miami Book Fair (here's what we're excited about), a spectacular festival of lights at Fairchild and the relaunching of Understory for the season and a free pickleball tournament in South Beach. So whether it’s a chill activity you’re after (could be that Miami spas are calling your name) or a jam-packed schedule to get back into, these are the best things to do in Miami on November 17, 18 and 19.

It’s that time again. Every year, we ask thousands of city-dwellers to tell us the coolest spots in their cities. What are the places locals love and visitors flock to? Where are the exciting new openings across food, drink and culture? Where are people going out, hanging out and having fun? For the sixth year running, the results are in. Over 12,000 people had their say in this year’s shortlist, naming the neighbourhoods in their hometowns where everyone wants to be right now. Then, we narrowed down the selection with the insight and expertise of city editors and local experts who know their cities better than anyone else. To create and rank the final list, we considered factors including community and social ventures, access to open and green space, and thriving street life. In 2023, our neighbourhoods are more global than ever before. The rise and rise in post-pandemic digital nomadism has led to an explosion of brand-new community spaces, multi-purpose culture centres and more cafés than we can count on two hands. But while most of these neighbourhoods have experienced a transformation over recent years, they remain resolutely local at heart. Slick new developments and cool cafés might bring in new crowds, but neighbourhood stalwarts – from old pubs to family greengrocers – keep it real.  The world’s coolest neighbourhoods this year are, therefore, places with big personalities. Each area’s diversity is reflected in its food, culture and festivals. Community is key: local

Yes, Miami is in the midst of a culinary renaissance (and the esteemed Michelin Guide finally deemed Florida worthy of its distinctions in 2022). But in tandem with all the best restaurants in Miami, the Magic City has also seen a rise in amazing options for imbibing in recent years. No matter the neighborhood or the mood, chances are there’s a fantastic watering hole (or five) nearby ready to serve up amazing cocktails and even better vibes.

South Beach is a lot of things, and one of them is undeniably touristy. This is for good reason: The oceanfront neighborhood is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, renowned nightlife, an abundance of shopping and internationally recognized cultural institutions (ever heard of Art Basel Miami Beach?). For a lot of people, Miami is synonymous with South Beach. But just because it’s teeming with tourists year-round doesn’t mean South Beach is all overpriced fishbowl drinks, untz-untz nightclubs and souvenir shops filled with tchotchkes. If anything’s a testament to this fact it’s the many worthwhile watering holes that line South Beach’s pastel-hued streets. Whether you’re in the mood for a dimly lit cocktail lounge, a bustling rooftop or an old-school, seedy dive, you can find it in South Beach.

This is your beloved Nutcracker reimagined for Miami with Art Deco pastel-hued costumes and glittering sets decked with pineapples and lime. Marvel at the scenery and spellbinding dancers (more than 100 of them!) as they express the classic story through movement to music from a live orchestra. It's a colorful, modern adaption but the purists, meanwhile, can put down the pitchforks: It’s still Balanchine and it’s still Tchaikovsky. Tickets for the Nutcracker are available for Miami, Broward and West Palm Beach. 

The sprawling Gulfstream Park Village property gets illuminated by more than 250,000 sparkly LED lights this season, all set to the sounds of holiday favorites and jolly pop hits.

From a humble food truck to a petite MiMo storefront and soon to be a destination in one of Miami’s most coveted zip codes: Our favorite El Bagel is all set to expand to Coconut Grove this season. Opening December 1 in the waterfront neighborhood’s CocoWalk development, the new shop will bring El Bagel’s beloved hand-rolled bagels, sandwiches and schmears to the Grove’s ever-expanding culinary community. RECOMMENDED: The best bagels in Miami, from old-school delis to new classics “The opening of the Coconut Grove location is kind of a full circle moment in the story of El Bagel,” says Koche, who launched his wildly successful bagel biz in 2016 while working as an urban planner for the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District. Previously a Chinese takeout spot, the quaint, 500 square-foot space where the latest El Bagel outpost will live “provides some tough, but fun challenges for the volume we plan to do” Koche says. Like the Biscayne Boulevard “bageleria,” El Bagel Coconut Grove will serve its usual lineup of bagels, signature sandwiches and drinks. Think staples like the traditional BEC and the classic Lox Supreme made with locally smoked lox. Koch’s own creations like the EB Original with scallion cream cheese, roasted jalapeños and thick-cut bacon will also feature on the menu.  Latkes and other new items will be on offer exclusively in the Grove, along with vegan options, uncut bagels, schmears, salads and fish available for purchase. Beverage offerings will include

File this under perfect Florida fall activities: Nature lovers can now check into the only hotel in Everglades National Park, the newly christened Flamingo Lodge. Nestled on the edge of the picturesque Florida Bay, Flamingo is a unique destination for adventurous travelers at the southernmost tip of the Florida peninsula. All 24 of the Flamingo Lodge rooms boast their own balconies with open water views, ideal for taking in breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The modern accommodations also feature their own full bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. There’s a reception for checking in, an on-site retail area and elevators, too. In short, this isn’t glamping, folks (though you can do that here, too).  Photograph: Courtesy Flamingo Everglades Adventures It gets better: The hotel’s indoor-outdoor Flamingo Restaurant—open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner—serves everything from smoothies and breakfast burritos to a mahi-mahi sandwich, conch chowder and burgers. You can even have the chef cook up your own fresh catch, served grilled, fried or blackened with a choice of two sides. And yes, the restaurant has a full-service bar, open daily for lunch and dinner.

On the heels of 2023’s sold-out festival at Bayfront Park, Ultra is set to return to its longtime home on the waterfront in 2024 with yet another massive lineup of electronic music’s biggest stars and heroes of the underground. The Phase 1 lineup for Ultra’s 24th edition has arrived, and it’s off to a very solid start. At the top of the bill, Calvin Harris will make a much-anticipated comeback at Ultra Miami, gracing the stage for the first time since 2013.

Before anyone moves to Miami, they have certain ideas about what a Miamian is really like. We all know the clichés—partying all the time, going to the beach every day, consuming tons of Cuban coffee. Of course, there are also the cringe-y behaviors we’ve all seen Miamians doing that newcomers somehow think they’ll be immune from. But once a transplant picks up the rules of Miami, they change. They become a product of this oppressively steamy, subtropical environment and assume all the quirks they once scoffed at or didn’t fully understand. We decided to ask our readers the question: “What unique things do you pick up living in Miami?” Below are the 13 most popular answers: 1. Driving like an a-hole If you’ve lived here long enough, you’re probably beeping your horn as soon as the traffic light turns green, rolling through stop signs, merging without using your blinker, using the right lane as a passing lane, and just brazenly disregarding the rules of the road. You’ve likely also developed an aggressive case of road rage. RECOMMENDED: Don’t get caught with one of these Miami driving red flags 2. Adopting Spanglish as your first language The Miami accent is real. Despite your best efforts, after enough time, you will catch yourself uttering Miami-isms including “pero like,” “bro” and “literally” far more often than you care to admit. You may even start pronouncing the “L” in salmon. RECOMMENDED: The best and weirdest Miami slang you need to know Photograph: Shutterstock 3. D

If you happened to stream any of Bad Bunny’s music over the weekend, you might have noticed that the “Events” tab towards the top of his artist page on Spotify has populated with a fresh batch of concerts crossing North America—47 shows in 30 U.S. cities plus Toronto, to be exact. It wouldn’t be surprising if you had put on the Puerto Rican luminary’s latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, considering it became the most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 when it dropped on October 13. A return to the reggaeton star’s more trap-influenced roots, the album has already amassed more than 900 million streams on Spotify to date. Now, Bad Bunny is quietly gearing up for his first proper tour since 2022, when the three-time Grammy winner’s Un Verano Sin Ti took the world by storm. Unlike the World’s Hottest Tour—a massive, 43-night stadium tour and the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latin American act—the Most Wanted Tour will be a more intimate arena affair. According to the tour’s official promoter, Live Nation, Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour will be “an experience curated for day-one fans…a rollercoaster of explicit lyrics that hones in on the star’s trap roots, so parental discretion is advised.”  It all kicks off on February 21 in Salt Lake City, with multiple nights in Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Austin, Atlanta, Orlando and more before concluding with three consecutive performances right here in Miami.

Years after shuttering in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the elegant dining room at the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House will finally reopen its doors this weekend. Downtown Miami's signature performing arts theater is set to unveil its dramatic new Teatro Restaurant on October 20. Previously Brava by acclaimed Miami chef Brad Kilgore, Teatro will serve a New American menu with creative European and Latin influences from executive chef Jose Danger. Constellation Culinary Group—the same team behind Verde at the Perez Art Museum and The Restaurant at the Norton Museum of Art, among others—have envisioned the restaurant as a one-stop destination for pre-show dinners, craft cocktails and an expansive selection of wines. The 2,500-square-foot dining room features a bold palette of deep red and gold tones, a not-so-subtle homage to the iconic red curtains of theater stages. To keep things streamlined prior to showtimes, the restaurant will offer a two-course prix-fixe menu featuring a choice of one appetizer and entrée or one entrée and dessert, along with a lineup of sides and a traditional à la carte menu.  Photograph: Courtesy Constellation Culinary Group For apps, think veg-forward dishes like an heirloom tomato carpaccio with mint tahini, toasted grains, Beldi olives and microgreens; Thai coconut curry mussels; huevos rotos made with crispy kettle chips, thinly sliced prosciutto and fried egg; and a “Big Mac” steak tartare of chopped black Angus beef with

Calle Ocho’s Café La Trova has once again made an impressive showing at the annual World’s 50 Best Bars awards, which were announced this morning via a live ceremony in Singapore. Helmed by Master Cantinero Julio Cabrera, the traditional Cuban bar with exceptional cocktails and hospitality now ranks No. 24 on the esteemed list of top watering holes around the world. Moving slightly down the list from its No. 21 spot in 2022, Café La Trova continues to rack up accolades. Back in 2020, the Little Havana darling debuted on the World’s 50 Best’s extended list, ranking at number 70—an impressive feat considering it was during the height of the pandemic. Even more impressive was the fact that no other bar in Miami was included. That same year, Café La Trova also took home a Spirited Award for Best American Bar Team. Like an Oscars for the booze business, the awards are given out by an academy of hundreds of drinks experts, renowned bartenders and consultants, drinks writers and cocktail specialists. This year’s 15th annual list features bars from 28 different cities around the world, including 11 new entries. Café La Trova was the only Florida entry, and one of just five U.S.-based bars to make the list.

We’ve done it again. For the sixth year running, Time Out polled thousands of city-dwellers around the world to get the scoop on the coolest spots in their cities. For the first time since launching the survey, a Miami neighborhood has been named among the top five coolest in the United States, and that neighborhood is Coral Gables. To compile this year’s shortlist, we asked over 12,000 people to weigh in on their hometowns: Which areas are home to the best new restaurants and most exciting cultural happenings? Where are people meeting up, going out and having fun? The final ranking takes into account the insight and expertise of city editors and local experts who know their cities inside and out. So how did Miami’s first planned community land in the nation’s No. 5 spot? Founded in 1925, Coral Gables is cool in a way not many places in Miami are. By no means understated, the “City Beautiful” trades out the velvet-roped gaudiness of Miami Beach for a more classic glamor, a pastel color palette for terracotta hues and the Atlantic Ocean for iconic swimming pools. But the Gables is so much more than its palm tree-lined boulevards and Mediterranean Revival-style architecture. Seemingly out of nowhere, it’s become one of Miami's most exciting foodie destinations, home to numerous homegrown concepts and Michelin-recognized spots (with even more on the way, if our suspicions are correct). The enclave boasts its own bustling downtown replete with locally owned businesses and cultura

We asked, and more than 200 of you answered: Which shuttered Miami businesses would you like to bring back from the dead? It’s a pertinent question, especially considering how quickly things open and, sadly, close in this city. Most of the time, these ill-fated Miami businesses fade out like a bad TikTok trend, scarcely remembered again. But there are plenty of dearly departed Miami gems, from restaurants to clubs and cafés, that have left a lasting impression even after their time has passed. Given a choice, we Miamians would gladly resurrect these spots—even if it meant they came back a little bit…different. 🧙‍♀️ RECOMMENDED: Guide to Halloween in Miami Image: Public Domain 1.

Whether you’re a diehard fan who cried when the Bros broke up back in 2013, a casual follower unashamed to admit that “Sucker” is a certified bop, or more recently invested in the irresistible drama surrounding (former) Miami residents Joe Jonas and his now estranged wife, Sophie Turner, your ears most likely perked up when you found out the Disney-bred trio will make a South Florida stop on their latest tour. Featuring music from across their entire catalog, the Jonas Brothers’ "Five Albums. One Night" tour kicked off in August has been dubbed the group’s most ambitious to date, running through a whopping three hours of material. As they prepare to descend on Downtown Miami this weekend, we’ve researched everything you might need to know ahead of the show. From set lists to parking, supporting acts and more, here’s your primer to the Jonas Brothers at Miami’s Kaseya Center. When are the Jonas Brothers playing in Miami?  The Jonas Brothers are playing in Miami on Saturday, October 14. What time will they come on stage?  Based on reports of previous tour stops, the Jonas Brothers will take the stage around 8pm. What time do doors open at the Kaseya Center?  Doors to the show open at 6pm. What’s the setlist for the FIVE ALUMBS. ONE NIGHT tour?  Judging from previous shows on the tour, the Jonas Brothers manage to boil down their discography into a three-hour set through a clever mix of medleys, leaving some tracks out and swapping them in for hits from the brothers’ solo moment

It’s a stereotype as old as time (or at least as old as the Nissan Altima): Miami drivers are really bad. Like, possibly the worst. They run red lights, fly through emergency lanes and block intersections. They cut you off, only to accost your ears with their blaring music at the next light. In the rain, they’re either going 15 miles per hour with their hazards on, or weaving through traffic and hydroplaning over puddles. They don’t understand how turn signals work, or the passing lane. And railroad crossings? Not as straight-forward as you’d think, apparently. Miamians are pretty vocal about the many shortcomings of their fellow drivers. In a recent Reddit thread about Miami driving red flags, users did not hold back. We’ve compiled highlights from their responses here. Miami driving red flags 1.

Many a disparaging remark has been made about Miami drivers and all their red flags, but this time, it really wasn’t us. A new study conducted and published by board-certified personal injury attorneys Dismuke Law has ranked the nation’s deadliest cities for car crashes and—surprise!—Miami didn’t crack the top 10. Not too far north, though, Fort Lauderdale landed in the fifth spot. South Florida drivers, beware: According to the study, Fort Lauderdale had a fatality rate of 21.09 per 100,000 people between 2017 and 2021, ranking our “Venice of America” among the top 10 U.S. cities with the highest car crash fatality rate. No other Florida cities made the list. Using data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), researchers looked at fatal car crashes in the most populous cities nationwide. The fatality rate was determined by examining the number of crashes against each city's population. The data was measured for every 100,000 people in each city.  Baton Rouge, Louisiana ranked as the deadliest city, having the highest rate of fatal crashes (25.49 per 100,000). Memphis, Tennessee and Macon-Bibb, Georgia ranked second and third, respectively.  On the other end of the spectrum, Cary Town, North Carolina is the least deadly city to drive in, according to the study, with a rate of just 1.52 car crash fatalities per 100,000 people.  Another surprise? The city with the fifth-lowest fatality rate is New York City, with a rate of 2.60 per 100,000 people.
