Looking for something to do around Miami and South Florida? You can use our event calendar to find free things to do in Miami, free things to do in Broward and free things to do in Palm Beach County.

You can also find discounts on more expensive events in our calendar. Here's a list of free and cheap events in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Click each title to see more information about the event or deal.

You can also view the whole month (click "By Month") or see a specific date (click By Day).

Below the "Free and Cheap" calendar is a day-by-day calendar of events in all price ranges.

You can submit events here. (This page says Broward but our calendar shows events in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.). We will add selected free events to this calendar, and all other events at all price ranges will be included on our community calendars.

Double-Check Before You Head Out!

We make every effort to make sure that everything on Miami on the Cheap is 100% accurate. However, sometimes things change without notice, and it's also possible that we can make a mistake. Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
