July in Miami is its own thing. The tourists have thinned out, the locals have reclaimed their city, and the hotels, restaurants, and cultural institutions that spend the rest of the year competing for attention have pivoted to something better: actually being interesting. This month’s calendar is stacked with rooftop parties, wellness rituals, World Cup energy, and a giant soccer ball on the beach. Here is everything worth showing up for.

July 1 through July 27
British artist Jon-Paul Wheatley’s monumental “Badly Drawn Ball” sculpture has moved from Bal Harbour Shops to the beach, and the relocation has transformed it into one of the most compelling public art moments Miami has seen this summer. On view at Bal Harbour Village Beach through July 27, the larger-than-life installation reimagines a soccer ball as a contemporary cultural object, drawing on imperfect hand-drawn sketches submitted by people around the world. Against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean during the height of global football season, it lands differently than it did inside a shopping corridor. Go before it is gone.

CLAUDIE Miami Bastille Day Dinner Party | Tuesday, July 14 | 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM
CLAUDIE Miami is celebrating Bastille Day the only way a Riviera-inspired restaurant should: with a full evening of French food, a resident DJ, and the iconic napkin wave that has become a beloved tradition of French celebration. The restaurant will transform into a scene reminiscent of a summer evening on the French coast, with French-inspired touch points throughout and the full à la carte menu available all night. “Bastille Day is one of France’s most iconic celebrations because it brings people together around food, great music, and a genuine sense of community,” says Gregory Galy, Founder and CEO of CLAUDIE. “This evening is our way of sharing that tradition with Miami, creating an atmosphere that feels joyful, warm, and unmistakably French.” Walk-ins and reservations are both welcome, with no pre-payment or minimum spend required.

July in Miami rewards the people who pay attention. Most of this is happening outside the places that require a reservation six weeks in advance and a contact in the right group chat. Show up, bring sunscreen, and let the city do the rest.
