March 01, 2023 – March 07, 2023

If it’s winter in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, it must mean it’s time for the popular winter party festival, an annual week-long LGBTQ+ celebration of music, dance, and community. From Wednesday, March 1 through Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at venues across the destination, Winter Party Festival events raise funds in support of the National LGBTQ Task Force.

Traditionally, the festival begins with a welcome reception at the festival venue hotel, Palma real del Sur beach. Located in the heart of South Beach, the Royal Palm is an iconic 1930s art deco hotel one step away from the beach. The welcome reception is a great opportunity to meet other festival goers, pick up a welcome bag, and meet a variety of exhibitors and vendors.

The hotel is close to many options for dining and entertainment. A few blocks away is Time Market Outside Miami, a popular food hall with offerings from some of the best chefs in the area. For a fancier fare, check out Byblos Miami, a Mediterranean restaurant in an exclusive and colorful space. For a late-night snack, two local favorites are The South Beach Sandwich Shop Y baby cheeseburger.

The main event and the “jewel in the crown” of the Winter Party Festival is THE PARTY ON THE BEACH
. It takes place right on the sand between 12th Street and Ocean Drive. For seven hours, from 1 to 8 p.m. m., guests can enjoy an incredible dance party as the sands of South Beach come alive with thousands of people from around the world. Expect impressive production, a massive dance floor, and uplifting dance music from top international DJs. It is truly an experience you won’t want to miss.
