Miami Winter Party

Miami’s Winter Party Festival returns from February 26 to March 3, 2026, bringing six days of music, dancing, and celebration to South Beach. Now in its 33rd year, this legendary festival continues to raise vital funds for the National LGBTQ Task Force while drawing thousands of attendees from across the globe.

A Festival with Purpose

Launched in 1994 with a single event, Winter Party has grown into one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ festivals in the USA. Each year, it blends high-energy parties with a strong sense of community, ensuring every ticket sold supports LGBTQ+ causes.

Highlights include the legendary Beach Party on Sunday, March 2, at 10th Street Beach - complete with world-class DJs, dancing, and ocean views.
