Celebrity chefs (hundreds of them) and hungry people from around the U.S. descend on South Beach and across the city for Miami’s largest and most famous annual food festival, proceeds from which benefit Florida International University Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management School. It's major. For its 24th year, SOBEWFF offers even more big-ticket events, including another rendition of the uber-popular Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray, plus additional intimate dinners hosted by culinary luminaries. There will be an Asian night market, taco and tequila pairings, a grand tasting village on the sand and more food and drinks than you’ll know what to do with. Break out your stretchy pants, and buckle up, people. Various locations

Summer has hardly arrived, but is it suddenly feeling a little hot out here? Ah! It's just another steamy edition of the annual Winter Party Festival on Miami Beach, and this year's "Dance is Revolution" theme is already making us sweat. The massive festival filled with thousands of scantily clad hard bodies celebrates its 32nd anniversary with a week of events and parties organized to raise money for the National LGBTQ Task Force. Expect a mix of VIP experiences, cocktail gatherings and poolside bashes, including Saturday's signature daytime party, Under One Sun, and The Beach Party, taking place right on the sands of Sobe. At various locations
