If you only do six things this week.
- 01
The Miami-born festival opens its 2026 edition. Flying Lotus headlined the satellite Thursday. Tonight is the main event.

- 03
Lil' Kim is on the Phase I lineup. Satellite programming continues across Wynwood. Saturday at III Points is always the peak.
- 04
The New World Symphony does Halloween. Costumes encouraged, live orchestra, and a morning that earns the rest of your weekend.
- 05
Guided kayaking through Biscayne Bay's mangroves and tidal flats. The kind of Sunday morning Miami doesn't advertise enough.
- 06
Sunday sets at III Points tend to be the ones people talk about longest. Go in with no agenda and stay for all of it.
