Winter Party Festival 2025: Miami’s Fierce LGBTQ+ Celebration of Dance, Defiance, and Revolution

The Winter Party Festival is back, ready to light up Miami Beach from February 26 to March 4, 2025, for its 32nd year. This time, it’s not just a party—it’s a revolution. With the theme “Dance is Revolution,” this year’s event is more than just music and dance; it’s a bold stand against hate and a reminder that celebrating who we are is an act of defiance.
.
Kierra Johnson, President of the National LGBTQ Task Force, put it simply: “Florida has become a testing ground for authoritarian strategies designed to suppress our existence.” Winter Party is our answer. “For those who’ve joined us before, you know this week-long symphony of music and movement is part of what unites us to celebrate, connect, and honor the joy that fuels our strength.”

.Winter Party isn’t just a circuit party, it’s a cultural touchstone, attracting over 100,000 people each year from around the world. But while the parties and performances are world-class, the true magic happens in the impact the festival has on the LGBTQ+ community. Proceeds from the event go directly to supporting local and national LGBTQ+ organizations, funding the essential work that keeps our fight for equality alive.
.
With its “Live free. Play hard. Give back” mantra, Winter Party is more than just a celebration, it’s a mission. Expect high-energy performances, top-tier DJs, and unforgettable parties, but also community panels and spaces for artists to showcase their work. Miami Beach will be the center of the LGBTQ+ world for one week, where the energy is palpable, the stakes are high, and every move on the dance floor counts.
.
In a world where LGBTQ+ rights are constantly under threat, Winter Party is a reminder that resistance can be joyous. It’s a celebration of freedom, community, and the strength we gain when we come together. The 32nd Winter Party Festival isn’t just another event—it’s a statement. And this revolution will be unforgettable.
