The Bob Marley Festival, Miami Carnival and many other live-music events take place at the open-air Bayfront Park Amphitheater throughout the year. So what do you do if you don't have enough coin to get up-close and personal at the actual show? You pack a few sandwiches, a couple of six-packs and a blanket and camp on the grassy field outside the park's main entrance. With the long lines to get into the venue and the unfailing presence of protesters who use every show as an opportunity to trumpet their various causes, the police aren't likely to bother you.
