Here Are the Best Things to Do in Miami This Weekend

Friday, February 6

Miami Rum Congress at the Miami Beach Convention Center

The Miami Rum Congress returns as the anchor event of Miami Rum Week, drawing producers, brand ambassadors, bartenders, and even collectors from across the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. The two-day gathering hinges on educational seminars and guided tastings that explore rum production, aging methods, terroir, and cocktail history, with more than 85 brands represented and nearly 200 expressions available to sample. Unlike casual tasting festivals, the Congress leans heavily into industry knowledge, making it a rare chance for the public to access the same masterclasses and panels attended by working spirits professionals. Noon at Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Ctr. Dr., Miami Beach; 305-673-7300; miamibeachconvention.com. Tickets cost $36 to $343 via miamirumcongress.com.
