November in South Florida Has a Lot Going On. Here's What to Put on Your Calendar.

November opens with a full calendar and no slow weeks. Here's what's worth knowing — organized by when it happens.

The Goodtime Hotel in Miami Beach kicks off November with a Day of the Dead pool party on Sunday, November 1, from noon to sundown. Presented by Juan, Please, the pool transforms into a Día de los Muertos celebration with music and cultural energy. Tickets required. That same afternoon, The Marker Key West Harbor Resort hosts a free live concert with Rob Benton — a performer known for blending percussion, looping, beatboxing, rock and hip-hop into acoustic sets — from 4 to 7 p.m. poolside. And Delilah Miami launches Sundays on the Water, its new weekly waterfront party series, with Miami-based duo Paperwater spinning from 3 to 9 p.m. on the patio overlooking Biscayne Bay. Cocktail towers, punch bowls, and tableside champagne service are all in play.

Uchiko Miami Beach hosts a Wine & Wagyu dinner on November 4 — a 10-course tasting experience paired with six wines from Napa Valley winemaker Jayson Woodbridge's Hundred Acre, Summer Dreams and Fortunate Son labels. The menu includes A5 wagyu, bluefin tuna nigiri, crab and caviar handrolls, and Hokkaido scallops. Tickets are $575 per person, and attendees get the rare opportunity to purchase Hundred Acre bottles without the winery's four-year waiting list. Also on November 4: Shooters Waterfront hosts its Women of Wine Series, welcoming Erath Winery head winemaker Leah Adint for a complimentary curated tasting paired with charcuterie and cheese from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. And Plum Market Aventura continues its Art of Hosting a Dinner Party series with a winter floral design workshop — guests leave with a seasonal arrangement they made themselves.

Miami New Drama opens Gandhi and the Jew at Lincoln Road's Colony Theatre on November 5, running through November 29. Selected by The New York Times as one of its shows to see across the U.S. this fall, the play uncovers the surprising bond between a young Gandhi and a Jewish architect named Hermann Kallenbach — and it marks the 10th anniversary season for Miami New Drama. From November 7 to 10, The Betsy South Beach honors veterans with two parallel programs: a screening of its short documentary Nothing Can Be Done, But Something Can Be Said (created with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus) at BBar, and The Betsy Orb illuminating community letters, poetry, photographs and videos honoring veterans and their families nightly from 8 to 11 p.m.

Set in a near future where cloning and de-extinction are reality, it asks one question: what if we could defeat death? Tickets start at $49.99 at yeswearemadarts.com.
