Every third Thursday of the month, Miami Beach hosts its “Culture Crawl.”
The event, from 6-9 p.m., aims to get residents and visitors alike exploring and becoming acquainted with Miami Beach and its cultural offerings. Many arts organizations offer free admission as part of the event — opening their doors for special programming, open studios and galleries, outdoor films, live music, exclusive tours, night gardens and more.
Free trolley service, with opera singers and professional tour guides aboard, transport and entertain attendees to and from each of the destinations throughout the evening, except during the summer.
Events take place on South Beach, as well as Mid and North Beach locations.
The next Culture Crawl will be on Feb. 20, 2025
