Things to Do in Miami This Week (July 14-July 20)
Alright, we’re sliding into mid-July, and if you’re looking for a list of things to do in Miami this week (July 14-20), I’ve put together a ton of options. You’ll also find a few just outside, so you can make the most of your week without being stuck downtown.
Maybe you want something chill: beach time, low-key park hangs, or a bike ride along the waterfront. Then, as the week heats up, there are live music nights, food pop-ups, and fun exhibits.
So before your week fills up or you fall into the same old weekend routine, take a peek at the list. You might find the perfect plan that feels totally like summer, locally or just beyond Miami’s buzz.
Always verify event details on official websites or social media, as plans are subject to change.
