On November 3rd, the City of Miami Beach will host to truly unique Miami experience called Sleepless Night-Fall Back, Culture Forward. A thirteen hour event to celebrate the clocks being turned back an hour will feature music, dance, art and culture. The event will be a complete cultural takeover and celebration of the 25th hour. It’s all free, yes free, and will be held at indoor and outdoor venues in 4 areas of Miami Beach: North Beach, Lincoln Road, Collins Park and Ocean Drive.
Adventurous entertainment will run the gamut for you to choose from: music, dance, comedy, theater and performance art. Food and of course those famous South Beach libations will be available.
There will be a FREE Sleepless Night Shuttle throughout the night picking up from various parking garages and to keep the party going (and maybe to keep you awake), there will be entertainment on the shuttles.
Hotels will offer special packages to rest one’s weary bones after the 13 hours of sleeplessness. Please check out the website for details about every aspect of this anticipated evening at www.sleeplessnight.org.
