Summer is here and Miami is officially slowing down, though don't confuse that with a standstill. This week, South Beach becomes the center of the fashion universe as Miami Swim Week takes over, with Paraiso's runway shows anchored at the Collins Park tent just steps from the ocean and satellite events spreading across the strip at the Delano, the Ritz-Carlton, 1111 Lincoln Road, and beyond. Head to Wynwood and the World Cup energy is already building: the Wynwood International Food Festival has launched its global passport crawl across 20-plus restaurants, each representing a different nation, and Let's Wyn has turned the whole neighborhood into a scavenger hunt for a shot at tickets to the Bronze Medal Match in July. Bayskate continues its six-week run at the Historic Pan Am Hangar in Coconut Grove, and over at the Lowe Art Museum on the UM campus, 200 Years of Afro-Cuban Art is one of the more significant exhibitions to open in Miami this year.


Curated below is our guide to all the special events and happenings worth checking out over the next seven days, but should you prefer to plan your weeks in advance, here's our curated guide to everything happening in May in Miami. And if you're looking specifically for what to do this weekend, we've got a guide for that, too.

Bayskate is back, taking over the Historic Pan Am Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Coconut Grove for six weeks of roller skating, live DJs, cocktails, and outdoor lounges. You'll be gliding and grapevining around a 20,000-square-foot rink, with a gargantuan disco ball lighting up a place where some of America's first international flights began. This is, of course, a Miami-fied skating experience, with a cocktail program by Bayshore Club, with a rotating nighly soundtrack taht includes Latin tropibass, disco and, of course, Miami bass. The rink is open Thursdays through Sundays through June 14th, with daytime family sessions on weekends at lower admission prices. Groups can book rinkside table reservations, and season passes are available for unlimited access through the run. Skate rentals are available onsite, though you can bring your own Moxis or Impalas for extra style.

Leave it to Miami to turn fashion shows into a four-day lifestyle event. Paraiso Miami Swim Week, now in its 22nd edition, is the swimwear industry's most influential annual gathering, and South Beach is its natural home. The runway shows themselves are largely invite-only, but the energy spills out across the whole stretch of Miami Beach through parties, wellness activations, pop-ups, and the kind of street-level fashion watching that only happens during Swim Week. Past participants read like a who's who of the category: Agua Bendita, Oséree, Sinesia Karol, plus local labels like Sigal and Luli Fama.For civilians, the most accessible way in is PARAISO RISE, a ticketed VIP runway experience set over the Surfcomber pool on Friday and Saturday nights, with VIP seating, cocktails, and a waterfront view of the looks coming down the runway. Tickets are $375. A main tent pass is also available for broader access to the week's programming. The week will also see a host of satellite events and pop-ups, so keep an eye out for those.

If you grew up in a Cuban household in Miami, Álvarez Guedes was probably playing in the background. The comedian who became the Godfather of Latin Comedy through 30-plus albums of distinctly Cuban storytelling is getting the immersive treatment this spring. Debuting April 30 inside a custom-built venue at Tropical Park, Muerto de Risa is a three-hour cabaret-style production that moves guests through themed spaces — El Bar, El Cabaret, El Patio — as stand-up, live music and theatrical storytelling unfold around them. Less traditional theater, more like stepping into a night out at a classic Havana club. Learn more here.

Every Wednesday night, Wynwood's PASTA opens its kitchen for a hands-on pasta-making class led by head chef Luis Jose. The restaurant — brought to life by acclaimed Peruvian chefs Juan Manuel Umbert and Janice Buraschi — blends traditional Italian technique with Peruvian influence, and the class reflects exactly that: you'll mix, knead and shape your own pasta before sitting down to eat what you made. A welcome cocktail, appetizer and dessert round out the evening.

The lineup spans Cuba, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, France, India, Italy, Mexico, and the United States, with familiar Wynwood spots like Cerveceria la Tropical, Ghee, Lira Beirut, and Fra Diavolo among the participants.
