Bayfront Park is a true gem located right across the street from our place. This park offers views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami on tree-lined paths and open spaces, as well as activities such as movie nights and free yoga. The park is home to the biggest New Year’s Eve bash in South Florida, and Bayfront Park Amphitheatre regularly plays host to touring headliners and music festivals in an open-air setting. The best part — it’s all just steps.
GETTING THERE
Spanning nearly four city blocks, Bayfront Park stretches down the opposite side of Biscayne Boulevard from our place. Getting to Bayfront Park is simple: cross Biscayne Boulevard using the sidewalk and you’re there. If you’re looking for tour buses, they’re located at the north end of the park, while the kids’ playground is toward the south end, and the amphitheatre is right in the middle, directly across.
OUTDOOR CONCERTS BY THE BAY
At Bayfront Park Amphitheatre
The Klipsch Amphitheatre has played host to Robert Plant, The Cure, music festivals, etc. Choosing our place in Miami is the best option for those visiting Miami to see a show at the bayfront venue — you can avoid parking issues altogether because it’s right across the street. There’s plenty to see and do downtown when the show's over and your base is at arm’s length. The arena has a capacity of 10,000, and its open-air setting on the Biscayne Bay is made complete with excellent acoustics, which provides a relaxing show space in downtown Miami. The amphitheater is located in the center of the park and offers full concessions, ATM’s, reserved seating and general lawn admission with chairs available for rental. Check out the amphitheater’s upcoming event calendar to reserve your tickets.
ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS
Music, Fireworks, and Fun

THE ADRIENNE ARSHT CENTER
Miami’s Premier Concert Hall
The Arsht Center is Florida’s largest performing arts center and one of the biggest in the United States, with three main venues and an outdoor plaza space. The impressive complex opened in 2006 but still has a touch of history: a part of the 1929 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Art Deco tower is prominently displayed, which predates the Art Deco architecture found in South Beach. The Arsht Center offers many free, community-based performances and programmed series including the Flamenco Festival and its concert series “Live at Knight,” with touring acts and performances year-round.
