Free live music at Miami Government Center

The folks behind “Wake up Miami!” say the world is a nice place to live when you wake up with music. That’s why they’re presenting free live music, dance and performances during the morning commute at the busiest Metrorail/Metromover station in Miami: the Government Center, 101 NW First St.

The music will play every Monday morning for one hour starting at 8:30 am, excluding major holidays and voting/early voting days, from through Sept. 25, 2023. 

Here is the schedule:
