As you’re lining up your plans for the weekend, it’s also worth looking ahead to Pride Month this June. From Wynwood Pride to CommuniTEA Dance in downtown Miami, take time this month to celebrate the city’s LGBTQ+ community!
This iconic National Historic Landmark served as Miami’s first skyscraper, the headquarters of its first newspaper and the legendary ‘El Refugio’ for Cuban exiles. Given its storied past, it’s the perfect spot to spend an afternoon wandering through exhibits that pulse with the city’s rich history.
Three permanent exhibitions anchor the experience: Libertad traces the building’s legacy and tells the story of those who found refuge and built new lives in Miami; Languages of Migration explores global journeys through rare maps, books and more; and Unidad: The World’s Game offers a FIFA Museum-curated look at soccer’s unifying power. Each gallery is thoughtfully designed to reflect the building’s evolution from a center of information to a living archive of Miami’s diverse communities.
The special programming continues with family days and community events, so keep an eye on the Freedom Tower’s socials to stay up to date and book your tickets here!
