Pharrell Williams at the Design Miami Preview & Vernissage on December 4, 2012

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.

Can you believe the first weekend of April is already here? It feels like Ultra was just yesterday. Just because the madness of March is over, doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of things to do by any means. Starting tonight through Sunday, we’ve got four awesome things for you to do. From celebrities and daytime barbecuing to bottle popping and a little R&R, there’s something for everyone. Rejoice, Miami, because it’s Friday and there’s a whole weekend ahead of us to enjoy with these top four things to do.

Pharrell’s 40th Birthday at LIV

Starting with tonight, there’s Pharrell Williams‘ big 40th birthday celebration at LIV with Ruckus spinning. Take a look at Pharrell with tons of celebrities from over the years as we celebrate this milestone with him. On a huge occasion like this one, there’s no telling who will be there or what will happen- this is the place to be tonight.

Saturday BBQ at the Broken Shaker

If you haven’t been to the Broken Shaker’s Saturday afternoon BBQ, make sure to check it out this weekend. Every Saturday, the backyard bar at the Freehand Miami (a cool, revamped hipster hostel) has a casual hang out with food and drinks. From 2-5pm, come sit by the pool, enjoy live music, play some ping pong, and get two meats and two sides for just $11. And they’ve always got weekly drink specials, which have the ability to keep you hanging out until the evening hours without realizing. Time flies when you’re having fun at the Shaker.

After chilling by the pool at the Shaker, get dressed for a night out on South Beach at FDR at the Delano. Their Saturday party, New York Loves FDR, will feature DJ Gunars on the decks.

Choose from a VIP table for four with a bottle of Belvedere or a VIP table for eight with a bottle of Belvedere and Moët. Hurry- this deal ends soon!

Club Essentia

Sunday is a day for rest. And if you’re like most of Miami who had a manic month of March, treat yourself or your hubby to a day of rest and relaxation at the Delano’s newly opened rooftop spa- Club Essentia. Not only does this spa have all your basics covered- like facials and massages- but it also has a whole list of medicinal health treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, an IV Nutrition Booster, and B12 shots. Plus, with the WRE All Access discount on Gilt City, you’ll get half off your choice of any (or all) four treatments.
