Halloween Week 2026 — Miami
Halloween week in Miami runs all the way through Friday and the city does it well. R House Wynwood has the Villains Party, Hoy Como Ayer is doing a full costume night, Lincoln Road throws its annual block party, and Kiki on the River has a pumpkin carving situation that turns into something else entirely. Pick your room and commit to the costume.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) 2026
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs through Saturday — the largest in-water boat show in the world, with superyachts, center consoles, and everything in between spread across Bahia Mar and Las Olas Marina. Worth the drive up. Tickets required.

Dirty Dancing: The Musical — Kravis Center
Dirty Dancing: The Musical runs at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach through November 1. The production has been touring strong and the Kravis is a proper house for it. Good date-night option if you're heading north this week.
