The Hangar at Regatta Harbour
$199–$899
For the third consecutive year, Miami welcomes the stateside edition of the long-running Swiss music festival made famous by artists like Prince and David Bowie. Musician and singer Jon Batiste serves as co-founder and artistic director of the U.S. iteration of the Montreux Jazz Festival, which returns to Coconut Grove for one weekend only at the end of February.
Taking over The Hangar at Regatta Grove this year: New Orleans powerhouse Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, led by Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, with special guests on Friday; disco legends Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Grammy-winning pop-rock icons TOTO, and French-Caribbean soul-funk bassist and singer Adi Oasis on Saturday; and Colombia’s electro-tropical favorites Bomba Estéreo alongside Cuban percussionist and singer Pedrito Martinez on Sunday to close things out.
Between sets, expect genre-spanning selections curated by DJ Rich Medina, the legendary DJ and co-owner of Wynwood’s vinyl listening bar Dante’s HiFi. Add in food and drinks from some of Miami’s top restaurants, and you’ve got the perfect winter weekend in Miami.
