Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
This Weekend's Geography
2 neighborhoodsToday is the last day. Arsht Plus: Rhythm & Roots — the free outdoor celebration of Cuban and Latin American culture running alongside the South Florida premiere of Buena Vista Social Club™ — closes tonight at the Adrienne Arsht Center plaza. If you have not been yet, this is your window.
The Arsht Center plaza becomes a living expression of Cuban and Latin American culture — free, all ages, open to the city.
The plaza programming is exactly what a free community cultural event should be: live music, DJs, dancing, domino games, local artisans and pop-up vendors, and free performances by internationally recognized artists and beloved local ensembles. Miami's connection to Cuban music runs deep — this is a rare chance to experience it in a setting that feels genuinely communal rather than curated for tourists.
Inside the Arsht, exhibitions, artifacts, and photography bring Cuban culture and stories to life. The indoor programming is presented in collaboration with Conecta Miami Arts, Miami Dade College's Freedom Tower, and the Public Humanities Lab at Florida International University. The Buena Vista Social Club™ stage production itself runs concurrently — tickets at arshtcenter.org.
Free. Today only. Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami. Free RSVP at ArshtCenter.org. The Metromover Omni Loop stops directly at the Arsht — Adrienne Arsht Center station.
