In June the FIFA World Cup comes to Hard Rock Stadium, drawing football fans from every corner of the globe to one of the most spirited host cities in the tournament. It is also the month Juneteenth fills neighborhoods across the city with music, reflection, and community; when Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden opens its gates for mango season's most celebrated event; and when rooftop concerts, wellness summits, disco revivals, and candlelit performances fill nearly every weekend on the calendar. From Wynwood and Coral Gables to Miami Beach and downtown, there is something worth doing at every turn.

A live curry cook-off and a pepper eating contest keep the competitive energy high, while live music, cultural performances, and a spice market and bazaar fill out the six-hour run.
