If you’re like the rest of Miami, you probably don’t know what you’re doing yet this weekend. Lucky for you, it’s Friday and we’ve got your line-up of what to do right here with our brand spankin’ new weekend guide. On every Friday, World Red Eye will be bringing you a specially selected list of the hottest things going on for the weekend. Some of them are things we’ll also be at, covering all the action, and some of them we won’t be at but still think they’re going to be awesome. There’s so much constantly going on in Miami- in every area from DJs and musical acts to the arts and dining scene. There’s no reason to ever be sitting at home with nothing to do when we’ve got the great city of Miami as our backyard! We’re taking all the work out of it for you, and simplifying it down to this very essential list of things you need to check out. Maybe you can’t make all of them, but at least you know what’s going on and can pick one or two.

This weekend, we’ve got a whole lot of spring time fun just in time for daylight savings. Whether you’re a local looking for some off-the-beach activities, or a spring breaker from Michigan in town to thaw out and party, there’s something for everyone to do. There’s lots going on from right this very moment to tomorrow day and night, and right through Sunday and ending things with a bang on Sunday night. There’s some spring break shenanigans, artsy stuff to see, drinking to be done, and partying to be had. So get out there and make the most of this weekend full of stuff to do- check it all out below. We’ll see you out there!

Express Spring Break Hits Nikki Beach

Yes, it is that time of year when tons of college kids from all over the country descend upon South Beach to defrost and party. And if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! All day long today, Express is going to be posted up at Nikki Beach throwing a fun-in-the-sun party. From 11am to 5pm, they’ve got a DJ, tons of games, prizes, giveaways, a sunscreen spray booth, Instagram photo printing station (#EXPspringbreak), and cell phone charging stations so you can stay as long as you like. WRE will be there capturing all the spring breakers, so bring your best bikinis!

Art Walk

Second Saturdays in Wynwood Arts District have become just one big block party known as Wynwood Art Walk. All the galleries and bars open their doors as people flood the streets, wandering in and out perusing the art while boozing. Tons of Miami’s favorite food trucks post up too, so you’ve got everything right there from about 7 to 11pm. This month’s got a special feature as the Florida Grand Opera will be singing some of their modern stuff for all to hear from the Hangar Gallery.

Haring Miami

This special exhibit at the Moore Building in the Design District is around for just this weekend only. Celebrating the life and art of iconic graffiti artist Keith Haring, Haring Miami is showcasing one of the largest collections of works from that time- with some never before seen by the public. Be sure to go anytime from Friday through Sunday as this is a one time only event. Last year, the featured artist was Salvador Dali and had a collection of his works from around the world.

End your weekend with what is sure to be a wild LIV on Sunday experience. Rick Ross is hosting while DJ Stevie J, Don P, and DJ Sam Sneak spin all the best hip-hop tracks. Anytime The Boss is in the house, he brings his entourage and tons of other big time rappers with him. Who knows who will come out to pop bottles with Rozay this time. Will it be Diddy? Lil Wayne? DJ Khaled? Head over there Sunday night and find out for yourself- WRE will be there too so you can find us there or look for our photos of it all next week.
