Best Places To Find Music In Miami

Get on your feet and move to the beat of these Miami musical offerings.

Greater Miami is a cultural melting pot and perhaps that’s no more self-evident than in the range of music throughout the destination. From world-class symphony orchestras and opera to electronic dance music and the biggest names in pop, Greater Miami’s music scene also extends to its Latin roots.

We celebrate Miami Entertainment Months every October and November—but the sound of music can be heard year round.
