Bekins takes on Miami

February 28, 2014 | Bekins News & Events

Miami, Florida

Welcome to Miami, where the beaches are beautiful the streets are alive! While talking advantage of a day or two at the beach is a great idea – don’t miss out on all the city has to offer. The sky is the limit and the beach is only where the fun begins.

History Buff

Let’s take a few steps back in time, to the 1950’s. Visiting Historic Overtown can give you a whole new appreciation for the city. While in Overtown, you will experience what used to be known as Little Broadway –  a district full of music and entertainment. Big name performers such as, James Brown, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald entertained in music halls found in this part of town. The legends and stories originating in this neighborhood in Miami are predominantly shared among the city’s black community. The scenery in Overtown may have changed throughout the years, but the passion for jazz and soul lives on in the city.

Dining Options

The hustle and bustle does not stop after the sun sets. Be sure to take advantage of the fun-filled night life. Downtown Miami is packed with live entertainment venues. The venues range from indoor and outdoor spaces that host local and touring talent.
