Things to Do in Miami in September
Provided that there aren't any tropical cyclones happening this month, it might still be a good time to consider a pay-what-you-wish Miami walking tour. If it is a bit windy, you might want to consider an indoor activity instead.
If you're looking for another alternative, consider going to a concert instead. Here are some of the best musical performers scheduled to visit Miami in September:
- The Killers | Sept 13th
- Luke Bryan | Sept 30th
Alternatively, you may also want to go see Kevin Hart when he comes to town on September 17th.
The Miami Marlins will also be nearing the end of their season in September, and there should be plenty of opportunities to see them play this month.
