CELEBRATE MIAMI’S PASTELITO FEST

If you’re from Miami, there’s a chance you grew up eating pastelitos on Saturday and Sunday mornings, with a hot cup of cafe con leche on the side. The flakey baked goods from the local Latin bakery would hit the spot after a good night’s sleep. 

Pastelito lovers are in luck as Beat Culture Brewing Co. is hosting its very own Pastelito Fest on Saturday, July 31, 2021, from 1-4 p.m. We’re talking about many guava-flavored goodies and activities including:

• Pastelito and Guava Vendors Market
• Special Beer and Mead Releases such as the Guava Pastelito Beer, Guava Pastelito IPA, Coconut Pastelito Milkshake IPA, and the Barrel-Aged I Can’t Believable Guava Honey Wine
• Low and Slow BBQ
• Games for kids and adults

Admission is FREE! For more information, click here.

CELEBRATE MIAMI’S BEER & SOCCER CULTURE

Soccer and cervezas are the name of the game this weekend at the kick-off event at Veza Sur Brewing Co. for the Magic City Cup. The opening celebration takes place from 2-6 p.m. Friday, July 30, at the brewery.

Veza Sur Brewing is the leading sponsor in the two-day men and women’s soccer tournament, which was put together to celebrate the cultural diversity of Miami. Now that’s a celebration!

The weekend is set to be jam-packed with great food from some of Miami’s best food trucks and vendors, sounds from local artists, and a Tech Activation Hub with discussion panels about the tech industry.

Admission is FREE! For more information, click here.

CELEBRATE MOVIES UNDER A MIAMI SKY

In the past year, we’ve seen the rise of outdoor theaters, as the pandemic pushed us to find new ways of enjoying the simple pleasure of watching a movie. The Miami Jewish Film Festival and the City of Miami Beach are keeping the trend going by hosting a three-week summer film series under the stars. 

The series runs through Aug. 5, 2021, with movies playing every Thursday and Sunday night at 8:15 p.m. The best part is that all showings are FREE. 

Make yourself comfortable and don’t forget to bring blankets, lawn chairs, drinks, snacks, and even pets to the summer film series! For more information, click here.

And speaking of movies … here’s an extra: Applebee’s locations throughout Miami and South Florida are offering a blockbuster deal.

Through Aug. 15, Applebee’s is offering all customers a free movie ticket to see Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” with every $25 spent in one transaction. Get all the details and check out the fine print by clicking here.
