These events reflect where the city’s luxury scene feels most thoughtful right now. Culinary collaborations with global weight, intimate performance settings, design-forward wellness moments, and cultural gatherings rooted in storytelling. Below, 10 standout ways to round out February 2026, each offering its own reason to step out.
MILA Omakase opens its Chef Winter Series with a rare collaboration that places Miami and São Paulo at the same counter. From February 19 through 21, two-Michelin-starred chef Luiz Filipe Souza of EVVAI joins the MILA Omakase team to present a bespoke tasting menu shaped by Brazilian ingredients and Italian culinary heritage. With only ten seats per seating and two seatings nightly, the experience remains deliberately intimate. Priced at $390 per person, with an optional $170 sake pairing, the dinners reflect precision, restraint, and cultural dialogue.
On Thursday, February 26, LPM Miami hosts one of Bordeaux’s most respected estates for a limited-guest wine dinner centered on Château Angélus.

Faena Theater brings back Art of Comedy on Wednesday, February 18, transforming its 150-seat cabaret-style venue into a sharply curated stand-up setting. Hosted by Amber Joy Layne, the 90-minute show features Cristian Munarriz, Lando Gonzalez, and headliner Max Manticof. Tickets begin at $45, with food and beverage available separately. The limited capacity and close proximity to the stage create a performance that feels personal.
The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary February 19 through 22, layering food, music, and celebrity-hosted events across Miami Beach and beyond.

Felice Brickell partners with Italy Segreta on Thursday, February 26 for A Tavola, an intimate four-course dinner celebrating Italian storytelling and cuisine.

A zodiac-inspired element and limited-edition surprises add an editorial layer to the night, positioning the dinner as both cultural exchange and communal gathering.
