    Art walks in Miami are a special feature of the city, given especially how illuminated Miami is at night. It’s one of the most popular activities after sunset, with tours that show off some of the best art installations in town from sculptures to paintings that are sure to delight.

    Wynwood is especially popular as the vibrant colours of the area’s graffiti-style art tends to stand out, even without the sun shining down on it. In fact, some of the city's artificial lighting only serves to accentuate the local art installations. The art walk is held every second Saturday of the month from 6 pm onwards.

    The nightclubs in Miami are world-famous as being some of the liveliest around. You'll find flashing lights, powerful music with bass you can feel, and a wide variety of drinks to choose from. These nightclubs can serve as a great way to end any nighttime adventure through Miami. 

    Most attractions in town close around 2 am, but Miami’s nightclubs can stay open until sunrise. Doing so lets you dance the night away if you like, and many places don’t even open their doors until after midnight. Amongst the top names are the celeb-haunt LIV, Nikki Beach Miami, and STORY.

    Miami’s evening air is filled with live music and it hosts some hot jazz clubs and Latin music venues that promise a good time. When people think about American Jazz, 2 epicenters that come to mind are New York City and New Orleans. Miami has no shortage of jazz performers as well, thanks to the unexpectedly large jazz scene in town.

    It's important to note, however, that the local jazz performances in Miami tend to have a Latin twist to them, especially if you find yourself around Little Havana. Still, clubs, restaurants, and bars with jazz performers are easy to find.

    You can watch outdoor films in Miami in a variety of ways. In South Beach, you'll find quite a few open-air cinemas that let you relax and watch a film while sitting or laying on a picnic blanket in the park.

    Just about every outdoor film offering is comfortable, so your best selection will probably depend on what kind of film you want to see. Most show the latest blockbusters, but only a few show classic favourites and indie flicks. The ultimate outdoor film experience is to be kept seated right inside your own car. One of the best drive-in theatres in Miami is Carpool Cinema Wynwood.

    You can try your hand at catching these massive silvery fish – book a fishing tour at night and take advantage of the fact that tarpons tend to be drawn to the surface when attracted by Miami's shining street lights.
