The best things to do in Miami this week

After sell-out runs in Paris, Rome, and Milan, From the Heart to the Hands: Dolce&Gabbana arrives in Miami, opening February 6 at ICA Miami and running through June 14, 2026. The exhibition offers a rare look inside the creative universe of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, tracing how their ideas move from inspiration to execution—all by hand. Curated by Florence Müller and produced by IMG, the show brings together more than 300 Alta Moda pieces, set within immersive installations and shown alongside works by contemporary artists, celebrating the artisanry, excess, and exuberance of Italian aesthetics. 

Diehard Survivor fans and their obliging friends and family will be flocking to Jungle Island this season for a limited-time immersive pop-up celebrating 50 seasons of the pioneering CBS reality series. Launching January 31, the SURVIVOR Ultimate Fan Cafe brings the show to life through hands-on challenges, photo moments, themed food and drinks, exclusive merchandise and more. Following a successful run in Boston, the immersive experience pays proper homage to the Survivor legacy with a mix of fan-favorite physical and mental challenges (all adapted for safe indoor play) and faithful recreations of iconic sets, like the Tribal Council fire pit, a voting confessional booth and a signature Winner’s Wall. Plus, join live watch parties every Wednesday starting February 25. (Rumor has it you might spot an alumnus or two while you're there.) Tickets are available via Bucketlisters and include a food and beverage credit for use during each 90-minute reservation.

Gilded and crimson-draped Faena Theater is the ideal venue to experience OBSESSION, a new original production presented by Faena Live in collaboration with the Quixotic performance art collective. Nestled in Mid-Beach, the cabaret-style show blends live vocals, choreography and cinematic storytelling to take guests on a seductive 1.5-hour journey complete with lasers, projected visuals and plenty of theatrical haze. Helmed by emcee Sophia Bollman—whose credits include a stint on NBC's The Voice as part of Team Miley Cyrus and backup singing in Beyoncé's iconic Coachella performances—Faena Theater's 2026 headlining production also features the energetic stylings of Principal Violin and Musical Lead Kostia Lucky. Tickets start at $100 per person and include show admission only (food and beverages sold separately). Guests must be 18 or older, with a valid ID required upon arrival.

The highly anticipated Miami Concours returns for its ninth edition from Friday, February 13, through Sunday, February 15, once again transforming the Miami Design District into a glossy, open-air gallery for the automotive world’s most covetable machines. Equal parts car show, design exhibition and social scene, Miami Concours is less about revving engines and more about reverence—where post-war icons, rare vintage supercars and boundary-pushing modern hypercars are admired through the lenses of architecture, fashion and craftsmanship. Across the weekend, expect a tightly curated static showcase of historic sports cars, racing legends and contemporary marvels, set against the district’s luxury storefronts and cutting-edge architecture. The energy extends beyond the cars themselves, with DJs, pop-ups, installations and culinary moments animating Jungle Plaza and surrounding streets. The weekend unfolds in three distinct acts: a ticketed Drive-In Movie Night kicks things off on Friday, followed by an intimate VIP Collectors Dinner on Saturday. New for 2026, Sunday’s Red Carpet Showcase introduces a ticketed experience with elevated access and programming, spotlighting a bespoke lineup of hypercars and rare vintage supercars.

In tandem with the holiday season, Jungle Island's enchanting festival of lights returns for a fourth year with a new production featuring more than 37 monumental, handcrafted silk lantern scenes created by a global team of artisans, graphic designers, seamstresses and more.

The popular Holiday Village also makes a return this year (through January 4), featuring Christmas trees, holiday treats like churro donut holes and coquito, a seasonal bazaar and a 30-foot Christmas tree centerpiece.  When is Luminosa 2025? Luminosa runs from Friday, November 14 through March 7, 2026. The hours of operation are 5:30 to 9:30pm Sunday through Thursday and until 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday.

Art meets science at "Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius," a sweeping exhibition presented by Frost Science and produced by Grande Experiences in collaboration with Rome's Museo Leonardo da Vinci. On view through April 5th, 2026, the show explores da Vinci's multidisciplinary legacy with interactive displays, rare artifacts and life-size replicas of his machines, alongside immersive projections of iconic works like The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. Explore 16 themed sections, from anatomy and flight to engineering and optics, plus hands-on installations like the Vitruvian Man interactive station and the Mona Lisa Revealed exhibit, featuring the world’s only exact 360-degree replica of the painting.

Art, sexuality and cultural taboos converge at the Museum of Sex with the debut of its latest exhibition, Hard Art: Unruly Selections from the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection. Explore decades of boundary-pushing works spanning the 1930s to today, pulled from the private collection of one of the world’s most dynamic collectors. From playful to profound and, at times, deemed too provocative for public display, the featured works include a wide range of media that challenges convention and invites conversation. Curated with the goal of amplifying underrepresented voices and celebrating uncensored expression, artists on view include Marco Brambilla, Jimmy DeSana, Bunny Yeager, John Kayser and others.

Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency presents Sepia Vernacular, an exhibition that places Overtown’s past back into public view. Drawn from the City of Miami Planning Department archives, the show features more than 80 rare photographs from the 1920s–1950s, including selections from Max Waldman’s 1947 Color Town series, documenting daily life across the streets, businesses, families, and social spaces that seldom make it into Miami’s official histories. The exhibition will be taking place at the newly restored Lawson E. Thomas Building, which once served as the office of Miami-Dade County’s first Black judge and a central figure in the city’s civil rights movement. A newly commissioned mural by Anthony Mojo Reed II adds contemporary context which, together with the archival photo exhibition, frames Overtown as essential to understanding Miami, not peripheral to it.
