This weekend on the islands: Live en la Playa, Qawwali at the Bandshell and a dune cleanup
A free Saturday concert in Lummus Park, Sufi music and rock at the Bandshell, beach and dune cleanups, Bay Harbor Live and cooler weather. Here's what's on Friday through Sunday.
The biggest free show of the weekend is OnStage! Live en la Playa, a city concert in Lummus Park on Saturday evening, moved to this weekend after weather pushed back an earlier date. The weekend also brings cooler air: the National Weather Service forecasts a high of 79 on Friday and a low near 64 Friday night, with gusty northwest winds.
