More Than Just a Party
At its core, the Winter Party is an event that embodies the mantra “Live free. Play hard. Give back.” It’s a celebration of love, self-expression, and community, with a strong focus on giving back to the LGBTQ+ movement. The festival is hosted by the National LGBTQ Task Force, which donates a significant portion of its proceeds to local and national advocacy groups, including those in South Florida.
A Safe and Fun Environment
Security is a top priority for the festival, with additional measures in place to ensure a safe and fun environment for all attendees. The event falls during Miami Beach’s spring break high-impact period, and the city has beefed up its security measures to accommodate the influx of visitors. Winter Party has also assigned a dedicated staff to ensure that everyone can attend the event safely.
A Festival Made Possible by Community Effort
The 32nd annual Winter Party Festival is made possible through the support of the Miami Beach Visitor & Convention Authority, the Miami-Dade County Tourism Development Council, and the tireless efforts of over 400 volunteers. This collaborative effort has raised over $4 million for local LGBTQ+ organizations over the past 20 years, with a significant portion of the proceeds going towards supporting advocacy groups in South Florida.
