Why go

Miami's free countdown concert on the bay, with Latin headliners, the Big Orange rising at midnight and fireworks from barges.

It is one of 7 curated places we feature in Downtown Miami & Bayfront, alongside 3 places to eat, 1 place for a drink and 1 sight. 2 more of our picks sit within about half a mile in a straight line, so it pairs easily with InterContinental Miami and Bayside Marketplace. Set aside about 4 hours here; it works best as the anchor of a day rather than a quick stop.
