Held at the restorative Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, Just Burn It is a guided fire ceremony focused on reflection and release. Programming is centered around a shared fire pit, with structured moments for writing, walking, drumming, and quiet meditation that encourage participants to slow down and reflect on what they’re ready to leave behind in 2026. The experience draws on simple rituals and the surrounding natural setting to create a calm, collective space to close out 2025. 5:30 p.m. at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, 21900 SW 157th Ave., Miami; 786-719-9903; patchofheavensanctuary.org.

The high-energy show, featuring an international cast of world champions and record-holding athletes and artists, features dancing, beatboxing, acrobatics, and BMX biking, resulting in a spectacle the collective self-describes as an “urban circus. 7 p.m. at the Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-468-2000; arshtcenter.org. Tickets are sold out. SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ HOLLYWOOD LOBA Shakira’s return to South Florida comes at a major turning point in her career. After de- cades in the music business, with hits includ- ing “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Bicicleta,” “El Dorado,” and her most recent album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the Colombian super- star is making her own rules. Following a high-profile divorce, she channeled her heartbreak into yet another artistic reinven- tion, leading to a record-smashing global jaunt that became the highest-grossing Latin tour ever by a woman. Saturday’s show — one of three she’ll perform at Hard Rock Live this week — is billed as a more intimate produc- tion than the stadium shows she played across the Americas and Caribbean in 2025. 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Wy., Hollywood; 954-797-5531; casino.hardrock. com. Tickets cost $145 to $1,069 via ticketmas- ter.com. CAROLINE VAL SUN 12/28 ▼ MIAMI GARDENS GO FINS An all-Florida matchup always comes with a deeper sense of rivalry, and Sunday’s face-off between the Dolphins and Buccaneers has all the makings of a fun late-season showdown. You’ve got two teams that don’t see each other often, familiar faces on both sidelines, and the kind of regional bragging rights that we can milk for years. The Bucs’ seven wins beat our five, so get out to Hard Rock Stadium to root for the Fins to get them closer to making it even. 1 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Dr., Miami Gardens; 305-943- 8000; hardrockstadium.com.
