I’m tracking May events in Miami for 2026. The month starts with the Miami Grand Prix and the PGA Tour Miami Championship, includes the Hyundai Air & Sea Show over Memorial Day Weekend, and wraps with the American Black Film Festival and Paraiso Miami Swim Week. Each event has official links for details and tickets.
The Miami Grand Prix 2026 takes place from May 1 to 3 at the Miami International Autodrome around Hard Rock Stadium. The event brings together top drivers, competitive racing, and a strong presence of global brands and celebrities, making it one of the main highlights of early May.
The PGA Tour returns to Miami with the Miami Championship, set for April 29 to May 3, 2026 at Trump National Doral. As a signature event, it will feature a limited field of top-ranked players competing on the Blue Monster course, marking the Tour’s first stop at the venue in a decade.
During Memorial Day Weekend, on May 23–24, 2026, the Hyundai Air & Sea Show returns to Miami Beach. The event features fighter jet flyovers, military demonstrations, and large public crowds along the shoreline, making it one of the biggest patriotic showcases in the country.
In the movie scene, the American Black Film Festival will be hosted at the Miami Beach Convention Center from May 27–31, 2026, bringing five days of film screenings and industry panels. Now in its 30th edition, it remains a key platform for Black creators and a consistent draw for talent and cultural figures during Miami’s peak event calendar.
Taking place May 28–31, 2026 in Miami Beach, Paraiso Miami Swim Week brings together designers, brands, and industry players for a packed schedule of runway shows, activations, and events, reinforcing the city’s role as a global hub for swimwear and resortwear.
