This Father’s Day, skip the necktie and give Dad something truly memorable—Miami-style. The city is rolling out a spectrum of events and experiences that go beyond traditional brunches and backyard barbecues. Whether you're shopping your way through the Design District’s most refined menswear boutiques, sailing across turquoise waters, or sampling a brisket-stacked bagel crafted just for the day, these curated moments are designed to celebrate fatherhood with a touch of sophistication, creativity, and community. Here are eight thoughtfully selected experiences to make this Father’s Day a standout for the man of the hour.

For the dad who appreciates design as much as function, the Miami Design District offers an entire enclave dedicated to luxury menswear.
