Although Art Week is behind us there is no lack of events this weekend, with the holidays creeping upon us there are options for every taste. Get your intellectual fix at Nerd Nite at Gramps, featuring trivia and presentations on the U.S. Constitution’s loopholes and Florida's abortion rights. If you're in the mood for something a little darker, the Vampyre Symposium kicks off with a banquet, followed by a Winter Ball that’s all about Gothic culture and festive vibes.
The weekend's not all about the art of thought and music—there’s a night of self-expression and freedom waiting for you at Fetish Factory's Mecca Of Kink Play Party. It’s a chance to explore your desires in an electric atmosphere, surrounded by like-minded people. Intriga at Sha Wynwood highlights Miami’s freshest talent with a fusion of Afro-House rhythms. Wrap up the weekend with a mystical gathering at The Cold Moon, a hidden gem of the Miami scene.
From immersive events to dark, playful parties, Miami's cultural agenda this weekend is serving up unforgettable experiences.
