As we round out March, the weekend ahead promises an electrifying mix of music, art, and community events. With Women’s History Month in full swing and Miami Music Week taking center stage this weekend, there’s an energy in the air that brings together creatives, performers, and audiences for a celebration of bold talent and groundbreaking sounds. From late-night raves to indie rock listening parties, this weekend offers plenty of ways to experience the city’s ever-evolving music and cultural scene.
Thursday opens the weekend strong. Women & Femme Open Mic Poetry Night at Villain Theater celebrates local talent in a space dedicated to women in comedy and creative expression. The day continues with a host of eclectic experiences—from Enter The Realm Miami Edition featuring top DJs to a golden hour cruise at La Vida Es Bella Vol. 6, and a high-energy milestone celebration at Young Art Records’ 10-Year Anniversary. On Friday, Ultra Music Festival takes over Bayfront Park, but that’s just the beginning—independent events bring a different kind of energy. Gramps hosts ULTRA SUNN, Bestial Mouths, and Miss FD for an evening of darkwave and post-punk, while Over Under’s MMW Showcase serves up house beats with Distant Matter and Ekonovah. For a taste of Latin rock, Klandestino Lounge welcomes a tribute to Soda Stereo, and if you’re in the mood for pure drum & bass chaos, Kemistry is the place to be.
The weekend continues to build on Saturday, with events like the Grrl // Secret Warehouse Rave offering a boundary-pushing mix of Latin club, grime, and techno sounds. Over at Sweat Records, catch DJO’s album listening party for The Crux before its official release. In Wynwood, We Are Family Roller Disco brings the community together for an all-ages roller-skating event with DJs Nikita Green and Yung Algebra. Sunday rounds off the weekend with Classic Album Sundays at Soundlux where you will listen to Stereolab and Broadcast on one of the best sound systems in the city. Meanwhile, Murs in Miami at Gramps will have fans buzzing with energetic performances. And for those in the mood for a tranquil end to the weekend, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra at the Bandshell provides an ambient, meditative experience.
