April may not bring many showers in Florida, but it does bring many events, concerts, exhibits and pop-ups to enjoy. This Wednesday is Earth Day and activities range from waterside yoga and meditation sessions to lectures to cleanups. O, Miami Poetry Festival is still bringing sonets and sazón to Miami, so be sure to check out one of their many events happening this month. And as the city gears up for F1, there are a number of pop-ups to get you on track, which you can find in our weekend guide.

Also exciting are spring's museum exhibitions, which offer something for every interest. For fashionphiles, there's a Dolce & Gabbana retrospective at ICA. A total sports fanatic? Check out over 100 athletic-focused works at the PAMM in their latest exhibition opening Get in the Game: Sports, Art Culture. Into Miami History? Check out Women Who Wrote South Florida at Deering Estate, or Sepia Vernacular, an exploration of Overtown through never-before-seen archival photos.

If you prefer to go at your own pace, we've got tons of eclectic activities to jump into whenever the mood strikes, plus festive pop-ups and tourist attractions that even locals approve of. In this list, we've handpicked special events and happenings over the next seven days, enough to have you saying, "This was the best week ever," but should you prefer to plot out your weeks in advance, here's our curated guide to everything happening in April in Miami. And if you're looking specifically for weekend events in Miami, we've rounded those up into a handy guide, too.

PGA TOUR golf is back at Doral for the first time in a decade, and it's returning in style. The Cadillac Championship runs April 29 through May 3 at Trump National Doral as one of eight Signature Events on the 2026 PGA TOUR season — a limited field of 72 of the world's best players, with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose all expected to compete. The Blue Monster has hosted 56 PGA TOUR events since 1962, with 14 World Golf Hall of Famers claiming 24 titles on the course, including Tiger Woods, who won here four times between 2005 and 2013.Beyond the golf, the on-course food and drink experience is designed to feel more like a curated Miami tasting than standard tournament concessions. The VVIP 1962 Club rotates through a different restaurant partner each day, with MIKA Coral Gables, Miami Slice, Taikin and Maple & Ash all taking turns. Out on the grounds, fans can find Miami Slice's cult New York-style pies in the Palmetto Park Fan Zone, Sergio's Cuban American Kitchen running Cubanos and empanadas, and Sunset Slush Italian ice carts roaming the course. Regatta Grove pops up on holes 4 and 5 with Aperol Spritzes and mojitos, and a Michelob ULTRA Club on the back nine offers an open-air lounge with complimentary beer, wine and seltzer Thursday through Sunday.Daily grounds tickets start at $40; kids 15 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.

Clase Azul México takes over CASA NEOS for the entirety of F1 weekend, April 30 through May 3, turning the 30,000-square-foot Miami River destination into a four-day celebration with the tequila brand as the exclusive spirit across all three levels: the Beach Club, the newly opened Lounge and the members-only MM Rooftop. DJ Carlita kicks things off at the Lounge on April 30, with Adriatique, Mestiza and a roster of international names following across the weekend. Clase Azul's Spirit of Champions, a limited-edition expression launched ahead of the weekend, is woven into the programming throughout.

Miami is many things, but a city where strangers regularly sit down and break bread together is not typically one of them. The Longest Table is here to change that. The large-scale community potluck, where hundreds of people who don't know each other share a meal at one very long table, comes to Miami for the first time on May 1, taking over The Underline's Inter Grove Gallery with family recipes, pastelitos, and yes, store-bought contributions welcomed without judgment. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, a Miami native who has made the loneliness epidemic a centerpiece of his public work, will be there too.  RSVP at bit.ly/thelongesttableinmiami.

A 25,000-square-foot immersive experience dedicated to agave and tequila opens April 2 at Toledo Studios in Hialeah. Backed by the Beckmann family, the dynasty behind Jose Cuervo, 1800, Reserva de la Familia and Centenario, who have been making tequila since 1758, and developed in collaboration with Mexican-American multimedia artist DaniĂ© GĂłmez-Ortigoza, the experience begins with guests boarding a train that symbolically transports them from Miami to Mexico before moving through more than ten immersive environments tracing agave from seed to spirit. Along the way there are recreations of La Rojeña, the oldest distillery in Latin America and birthplace of Cuervo, and the home of Centenario's original master distiller — plus tastings, live performances and a mercado to close things out.

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 BeyoncĂ©'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 Audi Revolut F1 Team is planting its flag in Wynwood for F1 Miami week, taking over MAPS Backlot from April 30 through May 3 with live race screenings, daily sunset DJ sessions, racing simulators, a Gillette barber corner and a 180° spatial film experience on Apple Vision Pro. Miami-local artist Hoxxoh is painting a mural across the exterior that bleeds into the inside of the venue, and a live poster printing station runs throughout the week producing designs pulled directly from the artwork. Driver Gabriel Bortoleto makes a public appearance Thursday evening, and Audi F1 Project head Mattia Binotto follows Friday night. Beyond Wynwood, the team is also doing a co-branded takeover of nine Rosetta Bakery locations across the city from April 25 through May 3—a quieter way to find the team if the Backlot crowds aren't your thing.

Now in its 15th year, the O, Miami Poetry Festival takes over the entire month of April with a deceptively simple mission: for every person in Miami-Dade County to encounter a poem. The result is one of the most inventive and genuinely Miami things the city does all year, a monthlong program that turns parking lots, railroad museums, ventanitas, hurricane simulation labs and planetariums into stages for poetry, with events built largely through an open community submission process. The 2026 edition is celebrating its quinceañera, and the programming reflects a festival that has grown into a true city institution. It opens with a full moon party at Andaz Miami Beach (Apr 2), where guests gather under the rising pink moon for a lunar-themed launch. La Versicleta — artist Julian Pardo's ice-powered custom bike that prints immigrant community poems directly onto the concrete as the ice melts — rolls through multiple Miami locations throughout the month. Poetry in Pajamas, the beloved kids' open mic at Pinecrest Gardens, is back (Apr 4), as is the All-Aboard-leggers collaboration with Bookleggers Library at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum (Apr 4). A karaoke night built around heartbreak songs and poetry (Apr 8), a communal dinner and reading centered on food and storytelling (Apr 10), and a quinceañera-inspired gathering at a historic restaurant (Apr 12) round out a calendar that covers every conceivable corner of the city and the human experience. The festival closes April 30...

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.
