Art Basel Miami Beach
One of the seminal international art shows in the world, Art Basel
(
www.artbaselmiamibeach.com
) can reasonably claim responsibility for putting Miami
Beach on the map of the international jet-setter crowd. Gallery showcases, public installa-
tions and parties appear throughout Miami and Miami Beach.

King Mango Strut
Held each year just after Christmas, this quirky 24-year-old Coconut Grove parade
(
www.kingmangostrut.org
) is a politically charged, funfair that began as a spoof on current
events and the now-defunct Orange Bowl Parade.

Art Miami
Held in January or December, Art Miami (
www.art-miami.com
) is a massive fair that dis-
plays modern and contemporary works from more than 100 galleries and international
artists. It may not have Basel's big name, but the talent is still very impressive.
