February is undoubtedly one of the best times of year to visit Miami. The weather is delightfully perfect, with temperatures ranging between 64°F (18°C) and 78°F (26°C). These mild and sunny days are perfect to enjoy beach outings, sightseeing, and outdoor activities – a wonderful escape from the cold winters and snow in most other parts of the country. (There’s a reason Florida snowbirds are called snowbirds, after all!)

Miami also tends to have fewer crowds in February compared to the peak tourist seasons of winter and spring break. This means you'll find more space to relax on the beaches, shorter lines at popular attractions, and a more peaceful atmosphere overall to create lasting memories. 

Another highlight of visiting Miami this time of year is the fantastic lineup of events. There’s something for everyone, from chefs kiss food festivals to Instagram-worthy art shows, cultural experiences, sports entertainment, and romantic getaways. 

Without further ado, here’s our pick of the best Miami events this month!

— Top 5 Things To Do in Miami in February 2025:

February 1-2: Life Time Miami Marathon and Half Marathon

The Boston-qualifying route features a perfectly flat, 26.2-mile, single-loop course, which is the star of the show. The more popular Half Marathon covers 13.1 scenic miles along the same route and finishes at the same line as the full marathon but with a deviation.
