As January winds down, the city keeps its energy high with immersive exhibitions, genre-bending performances, and unique culinary experiences. This weekend, Miami offers a rich mix of events, blending art, music, and culture in settings that invite both deep reflection and pure celebration. Whether you're in the mood to discover new artists, celebrate local history, or lose yourself in the rhythm of the city, there’s plenty to explore.

Thursday kicks off with boundary-pushing music and art. RARA’s Algoriddim introduces a fresh take on global music with Bozito and v1fro, two Venezuelan artists bringing their unique energy to the stage. Meanwhile, The Dojo’s House Call at Nowhere promises a night of deep grooves and infectious house beats. Art lovers can experience the exclusive opening of Kinetic Color by Christo Guelov (XTO), an exploration of color’s emotional impact, while Chef Deborah de Corral’s Los Pingüinos pop-up offers a rustic, fire-kissed dining experience in an intimate outdoor setting.

The weekend continues with a mix of nostalgia, storytelling, more art and celebration. Visit to meditate on the warmest dream opening reception featuring new works by Roscoè B. Thické III and Matthew Forehand at homework. Emo Night Brooklyn delivers a high-energy throwback to pop-punk anthems at Revolution Live, while Sip of History at HistoryMiami Museum launches Black History Month with an insightful discussion on Miami’s fight for justice and equality.
