Aqua Girl
Aqua Girl (
www.aquagirl.org
) is the biggest party of the year for Miami's lesbian popula-
tion, and by any measure, is a pretty exhausting kick-ass event. DJs, jazz brunches, com-
edy nights, beach parties, rock concerts and art exhibitions add up to a lot of fun.

Jazz in the Park
Weekend gigs are a civilized way to soak up art, culture and some chilled white wine,
which tends to complement Miami's late spring swelter. There are free shows in Hialeah,
at
Hialeah Park
casino.
