Welcome to this week's Weekend Navigator, brought to you by PeoplePlacesThingsMiami, your guide to navigating Halloween weekend in a city where it's still 85 degrees and everyone's skeleton makeup is melting by 9pm. It's spooky season in Miami, which means we're all pretending palm trees and humidity are atmospheric enough to create proper haunted vibes while we pound themed cocktails with gummy worms in them. The city is fully activated and ready to get weird. Someone will definitely show up as a "sexy" version of something that should never be sexy, your group chat is already arguing about whose house to pregame at, and by Saturday night we'll all be eating Pinolandia at 3:30am in full costume wondering why we do this to ourselves every year.
This weekend is absolutely stacked with free block parties, costume contests with actual cash prizes, late-night dance parties, haunted attractions, and the kind of chaos that makes Miami's Halloween scene legendary. The city's going full send with events happening every single night across Wynwood, South Beach, Coconut Grove, and beyond. And the best part? Most of it won't require you to explain to your landlord why rent's gonna be late.
Before we jump into the weekend navigator, it's worth mentioning that there are a few concerts happening this weekend if you've got the budget:
- Eden Ben Zaken - Thursday, 8:30 PM @ The Fillmore Miami Beach
- The Mars Volta - Friday, 8:00 PM @ The Fillmore Miami Beach
- Jesse & Joy - El Despecho Tour - Saturday, 8:00 PM @ James L Knight Center
- Miguel Bosé - Importante Tour - Saturday, 8:00 PM @ Kaseya Center
For everyone else who already blew their budget on face paint and a wig, we've got your back. This guide is packed with affordable and free Halloween events across the city. Spooky pop-ups, costume contests with actual prizes, themed bar crawls, horror movie screenings, and parties that won't haunt your bank account come Monday. Grab your crew, finalize that group costume you've been planning since September, and scroll down for a Halloween weekend so good it's scary. Let's get spooky, Miami.
