Miami is the center of South Florida culture. In addition to its tropical beaches and amazing nightlife, Miami also has dozens of great museums, unique architecture, thriving arts districts, and lots of Cuban flair! Whether you’re a long-timer or a first-timer, you can learn how to attract bees and butterflies to your garden or hike to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne.
With Meetup, you never have to do fun things alone. Check out the following Meetup events happening around Miami during the month of February 2024, and have a great time with new friends!
Attend the opening night of the Shorts Miami Film Festival
The University of Miami sponsors a free film festival at the beautiful Cosford Cinema in Coral Gables. The venue houses a 70-square-foot screen, equipped to project 35mm film as well as a variety of high-definition digital formats.
On Friday, February 2, you can join Miami Fun Inexpensive, a Meetup group of nearly 11,000 members, as they watch both narrative and documentary shorts from emerging and established filmmakers. The festival will also have food, drinks, and live music!
Take a beginner tennis class in Miami Beach

On Tuesday, February 6, they’ll host a tennis lesson suitable for complete beginners or former players looking to shake off the rust. This class will take place by the waterfront at Palm Island Park, so you can enjoy a beautiful Miami morning while learning forehand and backhand basics. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the coach will guide you through each step, ensuring you build solid skills and confidence. This class is free for first-time participants.
Learn how to attract pollinators to your garden
