The Best Things to Do in Miami This Weekend: Dec 05 - Dec 08

Art Basel week is back, and Miami fells pretty busy to say the least, ready to showcase everything from cutting-edge art to more classic stuff, but here at TML we are showcasing our favorite local focused events. Start your week right at the Too Much Love Zine: Art Week Edition Release Party at Hoy Como Ayer, where we'll drop our latest zine and host a live podcast with Brian Butler and Justyna Kisielewicz, followed by salsa beats courtesy of Lauren Palma. If you’re looking for an experience that merges music and art, make sure to swing by ARTFUL by Andrea Quintero at MODE, an immersive celebration of rhythm and creativity, or catch He.She.They. Art Basel Open-Air at Toejam Backlot for a powerhouse techno set by Richie Hawtin, joined by Onyvaa, LSDXOXO, and more.

Explore Miami’s thriving art scene with Open Studios at Oolite Arts, where you can enjoy brunch, tour galleries, and experience the Healing Nature exhibition. For a night of experimental sounds, catch Eartheater, Doss, Nick León, James K at The Ground, or dive into BassEL at Gramps, featuring Scratch-D of Dynamix II for a bass-heavy journey. Make an impact while partying at the Fundraiser By Electronic Groove at Mad Radio (Dec 05), where music and community come together to support Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. The Masisi X (T)HERE: Fundraver (Dec 07) is a must-attend event combining art, activism, and a stellar lineup to raise awareness and provide resources for the Trans and queer community, with performances by Sydfalls, Talia Godess, Dylan Ali, and more. If you’re looking to explore Miami’s alternative scene, don’t miss Flower Party x Project Marcy at Gramps or Frequency: Illucids Art Basel Bash, a high-energy celebration of music, art, and local talent. Finally, close out your Art Basel experience at Space Basel 24+ hours at Club Space, an epic party that lasts all weekend long. With so much to do, this is one Art Basel you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re attending an intimate gallery opening or losing yourself in the rhythm of a fundraiser rave, Art Basel Week has something for everyone in Miami’s cultural landscape.
