South Florida Date Night Events: Concerts, Shows & Late-Night Fun for Two

South Florida date night events are having a moment this November — and this week is the proof. Tonight, Vizcaya opens its gates after dark for an art-filled evening on Biscayne Bay. By Saturday, you can choose between candlelight string quartets at the Eden Roc, tango at the Arsht, Victoria Monét in Fort Lauderdale, or 500 drones lighting up the sky over Pompano Beach — and that is before Hamilton even opens. Every event below was verified against its official listing or organizer for date, venue and price, so all you have to do is pick your night and go. Here are 9 South Florida date night events worth dressing up for — Wednesday, November 4 through Thursday, November 12 — with the details you actually need. ## Tonight — Wednesday, November 4 ## 1.
