Winter Party Festival is an annual, week-long celebration of pool parties, late night dance events, social gatherings, and lots of sun!

Event Details

When 1994 waved hello, so did a singular dance event on Miami's sandy shores: the Winter Party. It began as just a dance; the sun, the sea, the beat, and a dream. An instant hit! (Surprise? Nah, it’s Miami after all!) Now, almost three decades later, it's not just a party, it's THE party, a week-long fiesta that pulls in thousands from every corner of our dazzling planet.

The formula? A dash of magic, sprinkle in world-renowned DJ talent, and mix with Miami's unparalleled venues and dancing gay, bisexual and queer men. The result? A melting pot of rhythms, faces, and fantastic fun! It's the cocktail of music, laughter, and ocean waves that you never knew you needed.

So, trade those woolly mittens for sunscreen and those snow boots for flip-flops. Let Miami's warmth chase away winter's chill. Soak in the sun, let the ocean waves serenade you, and PLAY HARD. Because isn't it time you had a winter story that doesn't involve shivering?

But here's the cherry on top: Winter Party isn't just a festival; it's a force for change. Produced by the National LGBTQ+ Task Force, it's more than just rhythm and beats. It's about pushing for progress, sparking change, and supporting the LGBTQ+ Equity Fund. When you dance here, you're dancing for a cause.

Ready to leave frostbite in your wake and waltz into warmth? Miami's Winter Party Festival is where it's at!
