Your Weekend Playbook for Miami Events, Festivals, Live Music & Nightlife Experiences (Jan 9–11, 2026)

Choose your Miami events, festivals, nightlife with blurry vision. Here’s your weekend playbook for Jan 9–11: parties, DJs, parades, and all the wild things to do in Miami.

Suns out, buns out, and bass up — it’s Miami baby!


So, you’ve landed in Miami this weekend — or maybe you’re a local who just woke up from a post-NYE blackout nap — either way, it’s time to shake off the January blues and dive headfirst into the glitz, grooves, and glorious chaos that is Miami’s festival season and nightlife jungle. Spoiler: You’re going to need electrolytes.


DAYTIME VIBES: CULTURE, FESTIVALS & SUNSHINE

Art Deco Weekend (49th Annual)Ocean Drive is about to look like a pastel-colored Wes Anderson fever dream — in the best way. Expect vintage cars, jazz, architecture tours, street eats, and enough photo ops to crash Instagram.


South Beach Jazz Festival

Picture this: sunshine, cocktails, and saxophones echoing through palm trees. From big bands to smooth improvisers, this jazz fest is a Miami music staple. Free and ticketed events


Three Kings Parade – Calle Ocho Edition

If you like confetti, color, and community energy, this is your spot. Think cultural pride meets party vibes in Little Havana. Great for families and folks with zero hangover.


Sidney Doren Memorial Regatta

Yachts. Sunshine. Slight envy of people who own boats. Head to Coconut Grove to watch sailboats race across Biscayne Bay and feel fancy.


MUSIC, GIGS & MINI-FESTS

Reggae Bash World (Wynwood, Sat Night)

Dancehall, reggae, and good vibes take over Wynwood Marketplace. Whether you skank, whine, or awkwardly bob — this is the jam.


Miami Beach Bandshell + The Ground

Indie, global grooves, R&B, and lowkey magic — check these venues for low-lit, high-soul music nights.



NIGHTLIFE TO (LITERALLY) DIE FOR

Let’s be honest. Miami’s nightlife doesn’t just “go late.” It dances until Tuesday. Here's where you’ll party like a VIP, even if you're running on vibes and Red Bull.


E11EVEN MIAMI

Miami’s king of clubs. Open 24/7. It’s part strip club, part nightclub, part sensory overload.

  • Fri: SAVI brings electro heat

  • Sat: Guy Gerber — deep house maestro

  • Sun: DJ CX to funk things up🎟 You will spend money. You won’t regret it.


LIV at Fontainebleau

Glitter, celebrities, and DJs who charge more than your rent.

  • Fri: Soulja Boy Tell ’Em — yes, seriously.

  • Sat: Wax Motif B2B OMNOM — basslines and back-to-backs.

  • Sun: Vybz Kartel (dancehall madness).


Club Space

Miami’s cathedral of techno.

  • Sat: Dixon, Âme & Jimi Jules for Innervisions Miami

  • You will dance until the sun rises and someone offers you coconut water at 9 AM.


Honorable Mentions (Still Legendary)

  • Boombox Miami – Small, fierce, sweaty.

  • El Patio Wynwood – Outdoor reggaeton & craft drinks.

  • Twist South Beach – 7 rooms, 7 DJs, one glittery gay utopia.

  • Mango’s Tropical Café – Dinner + salsa + choreographed abs.

  • Salsa Mia – Mojitos + salsa dancing = perfect disaster date.


This weekend in Miami is stacked. From jazz in the street to techno till sunrise, there’s literally zero reason to be bored — unless you’re into sitting alone in your Airbnb (no judgment).
