Dozens of airplanes and watercraft swarm Miami Beach’s shoreline for the entertaining military showcase at the Hyundai Air & Sea Show. Organized to honor first responders, the two-day event features civilian aerobatic acts, powerboat racing and extreme water sports. If you don’t mind the crowds, you’re in for a genuine spectacle right on the sand. Afterward, don’t miss the Music Explosion, featuring the U.S. Army’s “As You Were” band, U.S. Air Force Drill Team and The Miami Beach Classical Music Festival Orchestra.
Summer in Miami is a peaceful time of year. Snowbirds tend to flee as the hottest, wettest days set in, and that's fine by us. Summer events shift from mega tentpoles like Art Basel Miami Beach, Ultra Music Festival and the F1 Miami Grand Prix, to more laidback activities, including park exhibitions, fruit festivals and other fun things to do with kids in Miami. The city slows down a bit, which makes it the perfect time to cool off at a Miami water park and spread out on our beautiful Miami beaches before the crowds return. Though we admit, these days it seems like Miami doesn't have a slow season at all. So take a pause from the chaos in Miami while you can this summer, and be sure to put these choice concerts, festivals and food events on your calendars now.
