This Thursday, Miami Beach kicks off the 2026-2027 season of its Miami Beach Culture Crawl program, offering free admission to museums, galleries, concerts, and cultural tours. The general schedule runs from 6:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Time, although some activities may have different hours.
The city will provide free trolleys with its own brand to transport the public between the participating locations. The program will be held on the third Thursday of each month until July 2027.
The event of greatest interest to the Spanish-speaking community is the Art Deco architectural tour entirely in Spanish, organized by the Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) as a conclusion to Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States.
The tour departs at 6:00 p.m. from the Art Deco Welcome Center, located at 1001 Ocean Drive, and lasts approximately 90 minutes to two hours. It takes place rain or shine, and comfortable footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather are recommended.
Participation is free, but prior registration is mandatory through Eventbrite.

In North Beach, the Miami Beach Bandshell, located at 7275 Collins Avenue, is hosting Les Greene & The Swayzees, a six-member band that blends rock, R&B, Motown, and 60s soul. The group was a finalist among the top five in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2026. The concert is free with prior registration.

The mayor of Miami Beach, Steven Meiner, described the program this way: "Every third Thursday, residents and visitors can hop on a free trolley and enjoy everything from world-class museums to live music under the stars, all at no cost. It's a celebration of the creativity that makes Miami Beach so special."
