1. Shakespeare in the Park
I’m guessing you weren’t expecting to see this on the list, but this is a wonderful cultural performance and best of all it’s free – perfect for those of us on a budget. Live theatre is such a fun and unique cultural experience, and thanks to Shakespeare Miami the 400+ year old plays are more accessible than ever. You can bring a beach chair along, or rent one, bring or buy snacks and enjoy some of the world’s most famous literacy works come to life. There are a few venues and showtimes spread out across the South Florida area meaning you’re probably going to need a rental car to get there easily. You can easily book a Miami rental car, just simply do it online and choose your pick up location and time in advance.

2. Art Week/Art Basel
At the beginning of winter each year – usually a long weekend set in early December – over 100,000 art lovers descent on sunny South Florida to have an unforgettable experience. This is one of Miami’s biggest events each year and is home to a number of cultural events, Art Fairs, exhibitions and so much more. It’s a great way to mingle with other artists and art lovers, to buy incredible art and also for many of us – the perfect way to escape the winter weather if even for a few days.
