For over 30 years, Winter Party Festival has hosted their full on celebration of community, music and of course dance, but this year it’s even more special.

With a community under fire for a variety of reasons, the mission behind Winter Party (proceeds benefit the National LGBTQ Task Force) are more crucial than ever. This year, Winter Party returns to Miami Beach from Feb. 26 to March 2 for a week-long celebration that raises funds to “achieve justice and freedom for the LGBTQ community through advocacy, organizing, and education.”

Over 10,000 revelers attend the event annually, and this year the talent already announced for Winter Party 2026 is poised to make this one of the best events yet. Internationally acclaimed DJs including Abel, Brady Prince, Dangerous Rose, GSP, Jace M, Joey With The Mustache, Joshua Ruiz, Karsten Sollors, Morabito, Oscar Velazquez, Sagi Kariv, and Toy Armada (among others) will be providing fans with spectacular performances throughout the event.

For the first time since 2019, Winter Party returns its official host hotel and legendary Saturday Pool Party to the glorious National Hotel Miami Beach complete with exclusive guest rates and reduced resort fees for festival attendees. Also, VIP, Festival and Weekend Pass options are all available which give guests a variety of ways to take part in the festival, complete with priority access to some events and extra special perks like open bar access at the Beach Party (for VIP pass holders).

This year’s Winter Party Beach Party is poised to be Miami Beach at its “loudest, brightest and queerest.” Taking place on Sunday, March 1 at the famed 12th Street Beach (from 1-8 p.m.) the event will have music supplied by both NYC’s Joey With The Mustache as well as famed DJ & remixing duo Jace M & Toy Armada! VIP tickets are available for this event, and for those feeling extra decadent, you can grab a Beach Cabana, complete with (among other amenities) eight upgrades for the owner to designate other attendees you’d like to join you along with unlimited open bar all day!

Andy Garcia, National LGBTQ Task Force Director of Conferences and Events, said in a statement. “At a time when queer communities are under relentless constant attack, events like the Winter Party Festival remind us of who we are and why we must redouble our efforts in the fight for liberation. We have faced attacks like these before, and we have not only survived but thrived. We will do it again on the sands of Miami Beach and at events throughout the week of Winter Party.”
