Show Your Style at Miami Swim Week:
Even though it's not New York, Miami's largest fashion show is back this summer. Swim Week is a must-attend if you want to model, design, or simply admire Miami fashion. Influencers, celebrities, and fashion enthusiasts travel from all over to participate.
To combine with Miami's legendary swimsuit trade expo, Swim Show, one of the biggest and most recognized show producers, Funkshion, agreed to launch Swim Week in 2002. Swim Week is now established by several producers, including Arts Loves Fashion, Paraiso Miami Beach, and Flying Solo.
This year's performances are scheduled from July 4-10. So, prepare your most gorgeous swimwear to show off. For more information, check out www.miamiswimweek.net for tickets, an in-depth schedule, and model casting information.
Live That Concert Life:
Miami cannot exist without music. And it's time to rally your friends and get tickets to countless performances this summer. South Florida venues including Miami Dade Arena, FPL Solar Amphitheater, Hard Rock Live, FLA Live Arena, and others will host several artists. Anuel AA and Kali Uchis are performing at the end of April. Charlie Puth, Bryson Tiller, and Tove Lo will perform in May. TLC, Shaggy, Sean Kingston, Paramore, Bloc Party, Romeo Santos, Drake & 21 Savage, and Blink 182 are all coming in June.
The ultimate music festival, Rolling Loud, will come into town on July 21st as well. The biggest hiphop festival in the world will last for three days. The lineup has not yet been released. Follow @rollingloud for updates.

Visit a Theme Park:
Although we don't have Busch Gardens or Disney World here in South Florida, we have other famous, admirable family-friendly attractions.
At Zoo Miami, you can take a daytrip around the globe, stopping at Australia, Africa, Asia, and the Amazon. Home to over 3,000 animals and 1,200 plants, you can meet lions, tigers, orangutans, elephants, gorillas, tree kangaroos, and more.
If you’re more into sea life, nearby is the Miami Seaquarium. There dolphins speed through the water, killer whales soar, and endangered animals like manatees and sea turtles find refuge. Apart from the exhibits, the Seaquarium offers eight marine animal shows a day.
But if you enjoy water parks more, you must visit Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach. They offer exhilarating water rides, obstacle courses, a lazy river, a wave pool, and mouthwatering food. It would be a fantastic summer day to cool off with loved ones.
Whatever you do, enjoy this summer and try something new!
