ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ WYNWOOD ONE FOR THE ROAD Sip a Rosemary’s Baby as you nerd out at Gramps for the last time. Nerd Nite Miami is closing out its 11-year run at the Wynwood venue before it closes for good in early Janu- ary. So “come through and learn something new” with two special talks: rum expert and Rumcast co-founder John Gulla will guide you through the rich history, science, and global culture of rum, and New Times con- tributor Liz Tracy will take us down memory lane with “The Story of Gramps,” a look back at the bar’s legacy as Wynwood’s beloved cul- tural hub. With trivia sprinkled throughout and appearances from the OG hosts, it’ll be one last nerdy hurrah to close out the year. 7 p.m. at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; 305- 699-2669; gramps.com.

ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN FRI 12/19 ▼ DOWNTOWN MIAMI HOLIDAY LIGHTS The Frost Planetarium is typically home to high-tech presentations about space or laser shows featuring music by classic artists and today’s musicians. For Laser Evening: Holiday Magic, the science museum’s 67-foot will light up with lasers in the shapes of Christmas trees, ornaments, and other festive symbols set to the tune of seasonal classics. 7 p.m. at the Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science, 1101 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-434-9600. Tickets cost $12 to $15 via frostscience.org. SO- PHIA MEDINA ▼ MIAMI BEACH WONDERFUL TONIGHT Rooftop Cinema Club’s seasonal program- ming reliably pulls from American holiday classics, and Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life is perhaps the clearest example. The 1946 film, still preserved by the National Film Reg- istry, screens above Lincoln Road Friday night with restored audio and a skyline back- drop that will soften the film’s darker mo- ments. For Miami locals, nothing could feel more festive than watching a snowy, black- and-white holiday film from the comfort of a deck chair with a cocktail in hand. 7:30 p.m. at Rooftop Cinema Club, 1212 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach. Tickets cost $22 to $28 via rooftopcin- emaclub.com.

Colombian reggaeton star Feid, R&B queen Kehlani, breakout pop girl Zara Larsson, and even millennial favorites like Nelly and Sean Paul are all on this year’s Jin- gle Ball lineup. The showcase historically functions as a snapshot of the year’s radio landscape, and this year’s roster reads like an algorithmically accurate summary of Miami’s cross-genre taste. 7:30 p.m. at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; kas- eyacenter.com.
