Ring in a New Year with Miami in January!

Average temperature low and high: 60° - 76° 
Three words encapsulate the ambiance of Miami: sunshine, beaches, and nightlife. These, combined with the high 70's temperatures, make "The Sunshine City" a top vacation spot during January. Museums, Cuban fare, and performing arts centers are commonplace, though locals also gravitate toward several January-only events. These include the pegasus world cup, art deco weekend, and the allura cabaret. For more adventures in Miami, browse through our top picks next month.

Playboi Carti

Playboi Carti, hip-hop's Picasso of peculiarity, has painted the rap game in shades of wild since his 2017 mixtape debut. Hailing from Atlanta, this maestro of mumble turned heads (and twisted tongues) with "Magnolia," making us all bounce while trying to imitate that one-of-a-kind baby voice—like a gangster Elmo on the mic. With "Die Lit" in 2018, he didn't just enter the cult of cool—he became its whimsical overlord. Then, "Whole Lotta Red" dropped in 2020, sprinkled with punk pixie dust, splitting critics down the middle like a banana. And fashion? Carti's the Kanye West of wardrobe whimsy, strutting into the scene dressed to impress or to confuse... sometimes both. Buy tickets
