This September, Miami offers a little bit of everything: world-class art, thought-provoking theater, symphonic experiments, tropical flavors, twilight conversations, and a pop spectacle to close it all out.
From Sarah Crowner and Etel Adnan transforming The Bass into an immersive interplay of materials to Dan Brown unveiling his latest thriller with signed copies, plus a moonlit book gathering at the Vizcaya and the infectious island vibes of the Taste of the Caribbean, the city is alive with cultural encounters at every turn.
Here's our guide to the top Miami events in September 2025 we’re excited about and that you just won’t want to miss:
— Faire Foyer – Sarah Crowner in Dialogue with Etel Adnan at The Bass
September 1, 2025-July 26, 2026
2100 Collins Ave, The Bass Museum of Art, South Beach
“Faire Foyer” is an immersive and tactile experience that uses The Bass Museum as an interactive canvas to showcase the artistic dialogue between Sarah Crowner’s geometric abstractions and Etel Adnan’s radiant mural and rarely seen photographs.
Opening September 1st, and on display until July 26, 2026, the installation pairs Adnan’s monumental ceramic mural—the only one of its kind in the U.S.—with a thoughtful arrangement of reflective bronze sculptures by Crowner that have been cast from enlarged beach stones.
Staying true to its name, the Fair Foyer creates a warm, inviting home for glimpses of the California coastline during the 60s through Adnan’s lens.
— An Evening with Dan Brown + Theatre Performances at the Arsht Center
September 11-13, 19-21 & 25-28
1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Adrienne Arsht Center, Arts & Entertainment District

- An Evening with Dan Brown, September 11: Catch up with the bestselling author of “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons” as he returns with a new thriller in his signature, fast-paced storytelling style. As well as a moderated conversation with Dan Brown himself, the ticket also gets you a signed copy of the new book, “The Secret of Secrets.”
- “El Brote” (The Break), September 11-13: In this meta-theatrical production written and directed by Emiliano Dionisi, an actor is caught between role and reality, ultimately questioning who truly controls his narrative.
- “Magalhães” (Magellan), September 19-21: This epic retelling by Francisco Sánchez and Chile’s Compañía Tryo Teatro Banda brings the first circumnavigation of the globe to life through dramatic storytelling and live music, following Ferdinand Magellan’s perilous expedition across uncharted seas and cultures from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
- “Lear”, September 25-28: A contemporary take on Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” adapted and directed by Neher Jacqueline Briceño, this production explores themes of fractured memory, collapsing patriarchal power, and generational reckoning.
— New World Symphony: Strings, Woodwinds, and Brahms & Bartok Performances
September 13, 14 & 20

As part of New World Symphony’s latest series of pay-what-you-wish performances, three distinct performances invite you to experience the orchestra:
- “Strings”, September 13: If you’re looking for something lively and experimental, Violinist Alexander Kerr and Violist Meredith Kufchak deliver a playful take on Beethoven’s “Pathetique Sonata,” Anna Clyne’s “Stride,” and Mozart’s “Sinfonia.”
- “Woodwinds + Brass”, September 14: Want to be whisked away by old-world charm? This performance of Dvořák and Shostakovich led by Andrew Bain is worth your attention.

— Creative Connections at the Vizcaya Museum
September 24
3251 South Miami Avenue, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Coconut Grove
This month’s Vizcaya Late theme, Creative Connections, blends the intimacy of a book club with the pace of speed dating in a moonlit setting. The experience led by Miami photographer Josh Aronson encourages a playful social exchange as you flip through pages and ideas in short, timed rounds. Just bring along your favorite art or photo book for meaningful conversations with fellow enthusiasts.
The quirky midweek escape also gives you rare nighttime access to the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. Enjoy exploring the Main House and gardens under starlight, with the tranquil bay and soothing live music as a backdrop.
You will also find art-making stations for all ages (yes, grown-ups too), so you have something tangible to take home from the exchange.
