From July 2–16, Miami comes alive as artists and creatives take to the streets for SURFACE Festival. Across two weeks, art in many forms will explode onto the footpaths, fence lines, laneways and walls around Miami and audiences are invited to walk, ride, roll and stroll through the streets to witness the magic unfold. It’s all thanks to the creative team at Miami Marketta, who work hand in hand with Miami businesses and the local community to produce the annual event.
This year’s program features ten brand-new large-scale outdoor murals at locations like Miami Marketta, Hard Fizz, Heartfill, Miami Fish Market and more. There’s also a launch party at Hard Fizz, an outdoor Fence Line Exhibition spanning residential front fences across Miami and a Sofar Sound Secret Gig in a surprise Miami location. Live tunes are aplenty with three laneway live music concerts, including James Reyne and Ella Hooper (of Australian Crawl and Killing Heidi, respectively), Pub Choir and a jam-packed closing party with Ruby Fields, Beddy Rays, The Grogans and Adam Newling.
