Winter Party Miami
About This Event
Winter Party Festival is a circuit festival on Miami Beach produced by the National LGBTQ Task Force as a fundraiser. The 2027 edition is its 34th year. Proceeds support the Task Force's advocacy and organizing, and the festival says it and the Task Force Gala have given more than $4 million to over 100 South Florida groups since 2005.
It runs over about four days in late February or early March: a dozen-plus ticketed parties at clubs and hotels in Miami and Miami Beach, built around the daytime Beach Party on the sand in South Beach on the Sunday. The crowd is mostly gay men on the circuit, and the music is house and circuit sets from touring DJs.
Book South Beach rooms early; March is high season there anyway.
The 2026 edition, its 33rd, ran February 26 to March 2, 2026. The festival estimates about 10,000 visitors each year. The official site has announced the 2027 edition for March 5 to 8, 2027.
