The Ten Best Things To Do This Weekend in Miami

Take a deep breath. Not only is the work week almost done, but that inhale wasn’t one big gulp of gross humidity. Summer is officially gone in Miami, and that means a lot less heat, a little less rain, and actually enjoying the journey to all the fun stuff there is to do.

Concerts, beer, and pumpkins await. It may not be a typical autumn weekend here, but by God it’s gonna be a great one.

Friday

• Marc Anthony at American Airlines Arena: Miami’s favorite song man returns. Lock up your wives.

Saturday

• Octoberfest at Marlins Park: Germany-meets-America in beer-soaked, baseball bliss.
• GZA at The Stage: GZA the Genius droppin’ knowledge with his rhymes since Wu-Tang’s start.

• Fading Formats Swap Meet at Gramps: Take home Otto Von Schirach’s old VHS tapes, pick up some vinyl from Romulo Del Castillo, or sell your own obsolete keepsakes.
• “Red Light District” at Mansion: A themed party that promises burlesque dancers in giant cocktail glasses, a rotating bed on the dance floor, and complimentary Eyes Wide Shut-style masks. Mansion, you ain’t subtle, but you sexy.
