Events in Miami this April

April is one of the best months of the year in Miami. This month has some amazing events if you love art, fashion, music, sports, food or all the above. While the rest of the country is busy defrosting from a brutal winter, Miami will be enjoying sunny days in the 70's all April. Now is the time to enjoy all the events you can while the odds of getting caught in a rainstorm are really low and every day will be filled with sunny days and amazing events to attend. These are the best things to do in Miami this April.

APRIL 2ND

SPRUNG! SPRING BEER FESTIVAL 

Sprung! has always been the rebellious, little sister to Grovetoberfest, bringing a more free-spirited approach to some serious beer tasting of over 300 craft beers. Besides the new location, Sprung! has made the date more in line with the Spring and Summer seasonal beers. Beer enthusiasts will also be treated to a selection not available in South Florida, and in keeping with tradition, the homebrew section will showcase brews created by locals who are passionate about their beer. Aficionados know to keep an eye on homebrew participants, because more often than not, they end up opening a brewery of their own.
