Miami has rightfully earned its reputation as a coveted LGBTQ+ destination year-round. With a vibrant culture, sunny beaches, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder rainbow revellers flock here 24/7.

But Miami is never more colourful and welcoming than during Rainbow Spring.

A Prismatic Party Unfurls

Vibrant hues of the rainbow come alive in Miami Beach every spring, painting the town in dazzling technicolour. From March to June 2024, the iconic Rainbow Spring series transforms sunny Miami into a kaleidoscope of events celebrating love, life, and diversity to the fullest.

Kicking off the months-long festivities is the Winter Party Festival happening from February 28 to March 5. Here fabulousness and community spirit intertwine on the dancefloor for a week-long extravaganza! With world-class DJs and dazzling pool parties, this internationally acclaimed event sets the stage for the wonders still to come.

Looking for a place to stay? The Royal Palm is just the hotel for you! As the event’s host hotel, the Royal Palm is conveniently located mere steps away from the many events lined up for the Winter Party. But rooms are filling up fast, so be sure to book now!

As April emerges, so too does the illustrious Miami Beach Pride. It’s the crown jewel of the Rainbow Spring calendar, so mark yourself booked on April 14th! The Pride Parade is a sight to behold, with colourfully bedecked floats and flamboyant, fun-loving attendees coming together to embody the phrase "out and proud." The festivities continue with poolside bashes, a vibrant music festival, and a VIP Beach Affair.

Later, from April 18 to 28, the OUTshine Film Festival highlights the seminal works of LGBTQ++ filmmakers. Offering compelling stories and ingenious insight into the shared hopes and struggles of the community, OUTshine has rightfully earned renown on the international film circuit.

The celebrations then segue smoothly into SweetHeat Miami. This week-long, ladies-only affair happening from May 14 to 20 in different locations around town is specially spiced up to wow women from all walks of life.

From pool parties to speed dating to a bumping nightlife, SweetHeat struts its stuff in an environment as welcoming as the Miami sunshine. Tickets are required, so make sure to grab yours soon!
