This Thursday, Miami Beach kicks off the 2026-2027 season of its Miami Beach Culture Crawl, offering free admission to museums, galleries, concerts, and cultural tours from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
The city will provide free branded trolleys to transport the public between the participating venues. The program will take place on the third Thursday of each month until July 2027.
The event of greatest interest to the Spanish-speaking community is the Art Déco 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 weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.
Participation is free, but prior registration through Eventbrite is mandatory. The available capacity has not been verified, so it is advisable to check availability before attending.
Another prominent venue is the Wolfsonian–FIU, located at 1001 Washington Avenue, where the public can explore the new Knight Labs —interactive digital exhibits on the third and fourth floors— and join hourly guided tours of the exhibition "Foot Notes: Shoes, Symbolism, and Society" starting at 6:15 p.m.
The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, located at 1933-1945 Meridian Avenue, presents "Jews and the Middle Ages 1000-1500 A.D.", a multimedia lecture featuring clips from the films "Ivanhoe" and "The Merchant of Venice", from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
At SoundScape Park, 500 17th Street, the New World Symphony offers a free WALLCAST® at 7:00 p.m. featuring “An American in Paris” by Gershwin, under the artistic direction of Stéphane Denève, projected on a 7,000 square foot screen and running until 9:00 p.m. Attendees are welcome to bring chairs, blankets, or picnics.
In North Beach, the Miami Beach Bandshell, located at 7275 Collins Avenue, hosts 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 Lincoln Road Art Walk visits participating galleries from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., though some close at 8:00 p.m. Meanwhile, Moonlighter FabLab, located at 1661 Pennsylvania Avenue, opens the exhibition "A House That Holds the Weight of Small Things" by Noah Gear, with refreshments and music from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
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.”
The complete schedule and the trolley route map are available on the official Culture Crawl site. For the tour in Spanish, registration is managed through Eventbrite.
