Miami events this week

Where to go in Miami: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night

Miami is two cities for a night out: the beach, with its hotels, clubs and the winter music industry, and the mainland, where Wynwood, Little Havana and downtown have the venues, the arena and the new opera house. It is the American capital of Latin music and of electronic music every March. Below is where to go in Miami for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.

Concerts and live music in Miami

The Kaseya Center (601 Biscayne Boulevard) downtown takes the arena tours; the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater (1700 Washington Avenue) the mid-sized shows; the Adrienne Arsht Center (1300 Biscayne Boulevard, arshtcenter.org) holds the Florida Grand Opera, the Miami City Ballet and the Cleveland Orchestra’s winter residency. Ball & Chain in Little Havana has live Latin music nightly; the Oasis and the venues of Wynwood take the rest. In summer the shows move to the bayfront amphitheater and to Hard Rock Live in Hollywood.

Miami nightlife: South Beach, Wynwood, Brickell and Little Havana

South Beach has the big clubs (LIV at the Fontainebleau, Story) and the hotel bars; Wynwood the murals, breweries and the smaller clubs; Brickell the rooftops and the after-work crowd; Little Havana the salsa bars. Downtown’s E11even runs 24 hours. Miami Beach bars close at 5 a.m.; the mainland at 3, later in the entertainment districts.

Theater, opera and dance in Miami

The Arsht Center hosts the opera, the ballet and Broadway tours; GableStage and the Miami New Drama at the Colony Theater on Lincoln Road produce plays; the Miami Improv is the comedy club. The Miami City Ballet, one of the best in the country, plays the Arsht from October to May.
