Music/Dance/Theater

Bring the family to Losner Park in Homestead, Florida (45 minutes from Miami), for themed street festivals the second Saturday of each month. Vendors sell savory Mexican and Cajun food, but there's no cost to enjoy the live music and browse the booths displaying collectibles. Listen to the University of Miami's orchestra and a variety of guest instrumentalists at a Gusman Concert Hall performance. Admission is free for most concerts (call ahead to check).

Little Havana's historic Tower Theater , located at S.W. 8th Street and 15th Avenue, teams with Miami-Dade College to present some free Cuban and Latin American films (in Spanish). Performances and programs are presented almost daily.
