What Is the III Points Festival?
The III Points Festival is one of Miami’s most unique and innovative cultural events. Established in 2013 by David Sinopoli and Erica Freshman, the festival was created to spotlight Miami’s diverse music scene and introduce the city to cutting-edge global talent. Held in Wynwood, Miami’s arts and design district, III Points has grown into a major music and art festival that blends sound, visual creativity, and community spirit.
The festival features a broad lineup of electronic, hip-hop, indie, house, and experimental music alongside immersive art installations and interactive experiences. III Points is more than just a music festival—it’s a weekend-long celebration of innovation, culture, and creativity.

Discovering Wynwood: The Cultural Hub of Miami
Wynwood is known as Miami’s creative heartbeat, filled with murals, graffiti art, and vibrant cultural venues. Once a warehouse district, it has been transformed into a hub of galleries, boutiques, and some of the city’s best craft breweries and food halls.
At the center of it all is Wynwood Walls, a public outdoor art museum featuring works from world-renowned street artists. Whether you’re in town for the festival or just passing through, Wynwood is a must-visit for art lovers and creatives.
Swim with Dolphins in Miami
After a night of music and energy at III Points, relax and connect with nature with the Swim with Dolphins in Miami, located Virginia Key near Downtown Miami. The park offers two incredible dolphin interaction programs:
- Dolphin Swim Odyssey: This deep-water program lets guests swim freely with dolphins, participate in dorsal fin rides, and learn about dolphin behavior from expert trainers. Ideal for strong swimmers that are 52 inches and up.
- Dolphin Encounter: Perfect for non-swimmers and families, this shallow-water experience includes playful interaction with dolphins, including handshakes, kisses, and tricks, all while standing in waist-deep water.
Both programs are conducted rain or shine, but will pause temporarily during thunderstorms or lightning for guest safety and resume once conditions improve.
A Perfect Miami Combination
Combining the high-energy III Points Festival with a peaceful and inspiring dolphin experience provides the perfect balance of excitement and serenity. Spend your afternoons bonding with marine life and your evenings dancing under the lights and art installations of Wynwood.
For the ultimate Miami weekend, plan ahead—book your festival passes and dolphin swim experiences early to guarantee your spot at two of the city’s most unforgettable attractions.
