🏕️ Glamping, jamming, and exploring art

Are you ready?

Our 2020 bucket list

Want to jumpstart your plans for the new year? We’re here to help, Miami.

Earlier this month, we asked you to share your ideas for a 2020 bucket list of great Miami and SoFla to-do’s, and as we bid farewell to 2019, we’re sharing some of your top tips for next year now…

Go outside and enjoy nature

🏕️ Go glamping in the Everglades. “[The] new Eco-Tents make visiting and staying in the Everglades more accessible and comfortable. Who does not want to wake up to a beautiful sunrise surrounded by nature?” —Sandy Chiu

🏃 Take a weekend jog along the Rickenbacker. “Even if you don’t like running, it’s so cool to see all the people outside fishing, cycling, sailing, swimming, and having picnics on the beach. There is no place more full of life in the entire city! —Jim Wall

🚴 Bike the Old Cutler Trail. “Experience Miami from a different point of view.” And a pro tip: “Scenic route is the north trail starting from Fairchild Gardens.” —Jessica Gonzalez

🌳 Picnic at Greynolds Park. “It’s [a] beautiful urban park, [and] not very well known.” —Claudia Gallegos

 

Take in some culture

🖼️ Explore some art. Running through Maya Lin’s public artwork — located outside downtown’s Wilkie D. Ferguson Courthouse — is “Disorienting childish fun.” —Michael Sellinger

🌕 Jam at the full moon drum circle. “You will have sound (drums), contact with nature (sand and sea), good vibes (the people), transformation (bonfires), movement (dance)…basically engaging all your senses!” —Luisa Muro

🎶 Hear tunes at the GroundUP Music Festival. Several folks recommended this three-day, jam-band festival featuring Snarky Puppy, Lila Downs, Lettuce, and many more.

🏨 Learn some history at Art Deco Weekend. “This year the theme is, ‘Sheroes: Women who Made a Difference,’ celebrating the Centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment.” —Jack Johnson 

 

Enjoy some noms

☕ Treat yourself on a “cold” day. “Order a ‘chocolate caliente y tostada’ at Versailles or Sergio’s when the weather dips below 75. It’s the tastiest treat.” —Stephanie Seriane-Consuegra

😋 Eat at every Sergio’s location. The chain has spots all over the 305, “From Bird Road to a Walmart in Hialeah.” —Lina Fernandez

Thanks to everyone who sent us nominations, and made narrowing down your choices an extra tough task. Here’s to a great 2020, Miami!
