Miami Weather
Miami’s weather in February is generally, amazing. It can vary from the brisk sweater weather, to a balmy beach day. No matter the weather, the sun here is powerful year round. We strongly recommend wearing sun protection in the form of SPF and/or a hat and sunglasses when outside. Winter is our dry season, rainstorms are not expected, and there will be no hurricanes - promise.

Tropic Bound and Miami Design District organizers take health and safety concerns seriously and will follow local regulations. We encourage all exhibitors to be up to date on their COVID and Flu shots and boosters, but will not be enforcing a mask mandate. Face masks will be offered to exhibitors and visitors free of charge.
