Stretching just over five miles from the Everglades to Biscayne Bay, the Miami River is one of the shortest major rivers in the United States. Yet few waterways have shaped a city’s identity more profoundly. The river gave Miami its name, hosted some of the earliest human settlements in
Formula 1 came to Miami looking for answers. After five weeks away from racing — a gap forced by the cancellation of two Middle East rounds due to the conflict in Iran — the paddock returned to Hard Rock Stadium with questions about whether Mercedes could be caught, and

The tickets are gone. The show is May 9. And if you slept on it, the Miami music community already told you how they felt about Ethel Cain long before the box office did. There is a version of the Ethel Cain story that starts with the music. There is another version that starts with the audience. In Miami, right now, both versions are pointing at the same sold-out show at the Fillmore Miami Beach on Saturday, May 9 — and together they say something worth paying attention to. Cain performs at 1700 Washington Ave. at 8 p.m. The show has been sold out for some time. Miami New Times named it one of the most anticipated concerts of 2026 when it was announced. That anticipation was not manufactured by a marketing campaign or a streaming algorithm. It came from a fanbase that has been building organically for three years
By: Javier Morales There’s a version of faith that asks you to trust and not ask too many questions. And then there’s the version Adrian J. Adams is pushing in Which god is God?. The kind that invites questions and then refuses to let them stay vague. Not in a rebellious way. In a structured way. Adrian doesn’t see faith and logic as enemies circling each other. He treats them like two tools that were always meant to be used together, even if most people keep them in separate drawers. His argument leans on a familiar tension. Science explains how things work. Faith tries to answer why they exist at all. According to him, separating the two weakens both. That’s easy to say in theory. It gets more uncomfortable when you actually try to apply it. The Moment Logic Enters the Room Once you bring logic into conversations about religion,
By: Daniel Ortega There’s a quiet tension a lot of people carry but rarely admit out loud. They want to pray. They believe in it, at least in some way. But when the moment comes, the words feel awkward, forced, or just… missing. That’s where Ginger’s story begins, and it doesn’t start with a publishing plan or a big idea. It starts at 7 a.m. on a Thursday. A Routine That Turned Into Something Bigger Ginger wasn’t trying to write a book. She was invited into a small, consistent act. A group of people showing up weekly to pray for someone they loved who was facing stage four cancer. No spotlight. No audience. Just commitment. Each week, Ginger did something simple but intentional. She wrote a short devotional and a prayer, then sent it as encouragement to the woman whose sister was fighting for her life. That rhythm continued for
The Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix is five years old, and it has never once pretended the race is the only reason to show up. Tonight, the Magic City shifts into a higher gear. As the sun sets over South Florida on April 30, 2026, Guns N’ Roses take the stage at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood to officially open the fifth edition of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix weekend — and with that, Miami begins seven days that the city now treats less like a sports event and more like a cultural institution. This is the reality Race Week has become: a week-long convergence of music, nightlife, celebrity, food, fashion, and motorsport that has turned Miami into something no other city on the Formula 1 calendar can replicate. The race is real, and the racing is serious. But the entertainment that surrounds it has grown into
There are artists who paint the sea, and there are artists who bring the sea with them. Miami-based muralist and environmentalist Gustavo Oviedo belongs to the second category. On Thursday, April 23, Arlo Wynwood hosts Art, Corals & Oceanography — an Earth Day evening built around the unveiling of two original new works by Oviedo, pairing his art with talks from marine scientists and coral conservation advocates. The program runs from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Higher Ground, Arlo’s third-floor space at 2217 NW Miami Court, and brings together artists, scientists, and community advocates for a multidisciplinary Earth Day event that places contemporary art and ocean science in direct conversation. The Artist: Where Graffiti Meets the Reef Gustavo Oviedo has been building one of Miami’s more distinctive artistic identities for two decades. Born in Paris, raised across Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico, and based in Miami for the past twenty years,
Miami does not need a reason to throw a party. But when the party comes with world premieres, an outdoor opening night under the stars, a tribute to an Academy Award winner, and more than 60 films from 20 countries — that is something the city locks in. The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival returns this week, and the 28th edition is one of the fullest lineups the festival has produced since its origins as the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in 1998. The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition returns April 23 through May 3, 2026, featuring more than 20 international, North American and East Coast premieres from 20 countries across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Adding to the excitement of the festival will be a special recognition ceremony for Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, whose film Rock Out screens on Monday, April 27, at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort
Miami’s late-April music calendar is stacked. But before Baby Keem hits The Fillmore Miami Beach on April 24, and before PinkPantheress brings her “Evening With” show to the same venue on April 26, there is Lexa Gates at Midline Miami on Thursday, April 23. Doors open at 8 PM. If the name is new to you, that is about to change — because Lexa Gates is one of the more compelling figures working in independent hip-hop right now, and Miami is getting her at a moment when the whole industry is starting to pay attention. Who Is Lexa Gates Ivanna Alexandra Martinez, known as Lexa Gates, is an American musician and rapper born on April 8, 2001. She spent part of her early childhood in Puerto Rico before being raised in Queens, New York. Her mother saved up money from packing cigarettes in Puerto Rico to move the family back
Area 23a and Sunflower Films have announced that THE GARDENER will bloom on the big screen at Regal Theaters and select locations throughout Florida beginning April 17. Fort Myers, Sarasota, Pembroke Pines, and Naples will be among the first cities to experience the film, with screenings expanding across the state, from Miami and Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and beyond. Photo Courtesy: Sunflower Films After the loss of her husband and father, Sabena Weathers (Radha Mitchell) is fighting to hold on to her family’s cosmetics empire while fending off a hostile takeover. Exhausted and searching for solid ground, she retreats to a remote mountaintop garden cottage, where a chance encounter with a quiet gardener (William Miller) sets off something unexpected. Grounded in emotional honesty and quiet mystery, the film follows Sabena through grief, healing, and the hard work of figuring out who she is when the world stops telling her.
Tonight, April 15, 2026, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Miami opens a comprehensive survey of works by Harmony Korine. Titled “Harmony Korine: Perfect Nonsense,” the exhibition marks the first time a U.S. museum has dedicated a full-scale survey to the multidisciplinary artist. The opening night event runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the museum’s location in the Miami Design District. A Career-Span Overview The exhibition includes more than 50 works that track Korine’s output across several decades. Rather than focusing solely on his well-known career in film, the show presents a broad range of media, including: Oil and acrylic paintings Original drawings and sketches Photography Handmade zines and collages Experimental film fragments and personal notes By displaying these various forms side-by-side, the gallery allows visitors to see the repetition of themes and visual motifs that Korine has developed since the 1990s. The inclusion of personal notes and
Wynwood’s monthly Art Walk has never been content to stay still. The April 2026 edition pushed that restlessness further by anchoring its entire program around a single, grounding theme: the Earth. Through gallery activations, live music, community ceramics, and the unveiling of new work from a graffiti legend, the night made a clear statement — that street culture and environmental consciousness share the same organic roots. Earth Day as Editorial Vision, Not Just a Theme The April Art Walk’s Earth Day concept wasn’t decorative. The Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) teamed up with Panther Coffee and The Center for a hands-on creative experience on the Panther Coffee Patio — a free, come-and-go ceramics and planting activation where visitors could customize ceramic pots and plant seeds to take home. That kind of tactile, participatory programming reflects a deliberate shift in how the Art Walk is positioning itself. Galleries and pop-ups curated
The April 13 performance at Clarke Recital Hall reflects a broader shift in Miami’s experimental arts scene, where found-object philosophy and digital technology are reshaping what a concert can be On April 13, the Frost Electroacoustic Ensemble performed at Clarke Recital Hall on the University of Miami campus in a set that challenged nearly every assumption about what belongs in a concert space. Led by composer and multimedia artist Juraj Kojs, the ensemble used toy instruments, household objects, ambient electrical hum, and room air as raw material — feeding those sources into custom circuits and software that transformed them in real time into layered, evolving musical textures. The performance was not an outlier. It was a window into a specific cultural moment that is taking shape across Miami this April — one defined by the intersection of machine logic, human creativity, and the artistic potential of the overlooked and ordinary.
Connection to Creation: In your novel, Naya seeks a relationship with horses that transcends survival. Do you see her journey as a reflection of humanity’s deeper yearning to live in harmony with the natural world rather than to dominate it? Yes, this is a primary theme of the She Who Rides Horses trilogy, which becomes increasingly central throughout the three books. While humans had domesticated other animals, including cattle, sheep, and goats, prior to beginning the process of domesticating horses, the period over which horse domestication occurred coincided with the emergence of new assumptions about hierarchy and dominance among steppe nomads that would completely reshape cosmology, social relations, and attitudes toward the natural world for their descendants throughout Eurasia and beyond. Horses were at the center of this seismic shift. The Sacred Bond: Horses in your story seem to embody more than strength and speed, they hold mystery, freedom, and
By: Emily Collins Some stories begin with a plot. Others begin with a place. For Kimbra, Where the Heart Meets the Sea was born from the kind of landscape that refuses to stay quiet in the background. Set on Lyngør, a group of small islands off the southern coast of Norway, the novel unfolds in a setting that feels less like scenery and more like a living presence. White wooden cottages cling to the shoreline. Heather carpets the rocks. Seals drift through cold blue water with unbothered grace. It is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave, and for Kimbra, it became the emotional and geographic heart of her story. “I found inspiration and passion in the wild beauty of Lyngør,” she says. “Small islands blooming in the sea, traditional wooden boats with deep roots in Viking history, and a community rich in Norwegian culture.”
Miami is a city known for its bold art scene, vibrant culture, and immersive experiences. Now, a new attraction is floating into the city: the “Let’s Fly Miami” Balloon Museum Exhibit. It’s a place where art, technology, and imagination come together in unexpected ways, offering visitors an engaging and unique experience that has already begun to capture the hearts of locals and tourists alike. What Makes “Let’s Fly Miami” Special? Located at Mana Wynwood, the exhibit isn’t your ordinary museum experience. “Let’s Fly Miami” blends interactive art installations with larger-than-life balloon sculptures and lighting displays. It’s designed to be both visually stunning and interactive, making it a perfect spot for families, art enthusiasts, and anyone looking to escape reality for a while. The exhibit spans several rooms, each one focusing on different themes. From rooms filled with gigantic balloons that look like they’ve drifted from a whimsical dreamscape to others
Every April, Miami turns into something a little different. The beaches and the bass-heavy nightlife stay, but for eleven days the city also becomes a genuinely global film destination — drawing filmmakers, critics, and cinephiles from around the world to screens scattered across Little Havana, South Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Downtown. That window opens April 9 and runs through April 19, when the 43rd edition of the Miami Film Festival takes over the city. This year’s festival will screen over 160 narratives, documentaries, and short films from 45 countries worldwide, including 40 world premieres, 2 international premieres, 11 North American premieres, 5 U.S. premieres, 23 East Coast premieres, and 63 Florida premieres. For a city that has spent decades building its identity as a crossroads of Latin American, Caribbean, and American culture, the scope feels right. Opening and Closing Nights The festival opens with Tuner — a movie
Ultra Music Festival may have taken its final bow at Bayfront Park for 2026 on Sunday night, but Miami’s nightlife calendar barely blinked. The city that handed its waterfront, warehouses, and rooftops to electronic music for six straight days doesn’t simply stand down when the festival ends. For residents and visitors still buzzing from the week’s sets, the scene transitions — not stops — and the venues carrying that energy forward represent the full range of what makes Miami’s nightlife culture worth paying attention to year-round. LIV at Fontainebleau: The Flagship Keeps Moving Located inside the iconic Fontainebleau Hotel and Resort in Miami Beach, LIV is a world-renowned nightclub spanning 22,000 square feet, with three full-service bars, state-of-the-art production, and a lineup of world-class DJs and live performances.
