What's known as "season" in South Florida has been extended far into spring and summer. Major events continue in May with the return of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, Mother's Day celebrations, Memorial Day weekend holidays, and so many other festivities, from graduation dinners to world-class art exhibits. Honoring mothers and U.S. military heroes, ONE Sotheby's International Realty wishes you a Happy Mother's Day and a Happy Memorial Day.
 

Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix

Formula 1 fans can watch their favorite drivers—like Lewis Hamilton, who decamped to team Ferrari for the 2025 race season—during the Miami Grand Prix (Hard Rock Stadium, May 2-4). In addition to luxury clubs, including the Paddock, the 72, and Casa Tua, the fourth annual event debuts single-day Grandstand tickets as well as three-day, general-entry Campus Passes for enhanced race track and concessions access.
