Downtown Miami's famed 24/7 ultra-club is hosting an ultra-weekend of parties in honor of Labor Day. On Friday, August 30, catch Deadmau5 in the DJ booth.

Miami's largest outdoor food market is taking a well-deserved hiatus this September to upgrade the grounds and prepare for another busy fall and winter season in Wynwood. Before closing, they're hosting an end-of-summer luau appropriately dubbed Hui Hou, a Hawaiian farewell meaning “until we meet again.” On August 31 from 2 to 10pm, stop by to enjoy food and drink specials from your favorite local vendors and live music starting at 7pm. While they're gone, Smorgasburg is also accepting applications for five new vendors to debut when they reopen. Interested vendors can apply here.

This 24-year-old breakout rapper from the Bronx has become so ubiquitous that she's even scored her own Ice Spice-themed MTA New York City Transit MetroCards, which were temporarily available earlier this year. After her studio debut Y2K! dropped this July, Ice Spice has set out on her first headlining world tour, which includes a Miami stop at The Fillmore over Labor Day Weekend on August 31.

Miami craft brewery Tripping Animals hosts a breezy adults-only pool party at ART Wynwood, the rooftop pool deck of the boutique hotel Arlo Wynwood. On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, dance to a lineup of local DJs, drink, splash and take in the views as the sun sets over the colorful neighborhood. Tripping Animals will be serving up their roster of funky craft brews, and you can also order cocktails and snacks from the bar. 3–11pm; Tickets cost $10

Sure, the poppy soulstress has a hit song, “No.” But this is one you’ll want to say “Yes” to. Meghan Trainor’s The Timeless Tour rolls into South Florida on September 1, donning the name of her latest studio album, which dropped in June. Big on pep-up tunes and women’s empowerment, file this under a fun night out with the girls.

This acclaimed cocktail haven in Miami Beach hosts a weekend of DJs along with a special deal on their classic $9.99 Hot Dog & Miller High Life combo all weekend from 4 to 8pm. Sip on incredible world-class cocktails from their renowned beverage program, and order from their full menu which features delectable bites by James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein. 

Hyde Beach at the SLS South Beach is basically a nightclub—but it’s during the day, everyone's in a bathing suit and the dance floor is a pool. If it’s a Vegas-style bash with bottle service and champagne showers you seek, the SLS Pool party is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm, while the Haus of Hyde nightclub rages on from 10pm to 2am. Though weekends are the busiest, hit up the SLS pool any day of the week for a guaranteed fist-pumping good time. Check their Instagram for the full Labor Day Weekend lineup.
