Winter Party Festival 2025 is celebrating the 32nd anniversary of a radiant event held by The National LGBTQ Task Force with a splashy lineup and schedule highlighting the power of music, community, and entertainment while giving back to local and national organizations supporting the LGBTQ+ community all year long.
The 2025 edition of Winter Party is taking place in Miami, FL between February 26 and March 4. This year, under the theme "Dance Is Revolution," Winter Party Festival encompasses 12 events across 10 different venues throughout Miami and Miami Beach. Attendees will get to enjoy iconic performances from DJs like Erik Vilar, Micky Friedmann, GSP, and Mor Avrahami, among others.
Founded in 1994, Winter Party attracts a reported average of 10,000 attendees every single year. The National LGBTQ Task Force donates a portion of the proceeds raised at Winter Party and its sister event, the National LGBTQ Task Force Gala, to advocacy groups in South Florida through the LGBTQ+ Equity Fund. The Task Force reports that, since 2005, these events have donated over $4 million to more than 100 community organizations in South Florida — while also funding social justice causes on a national level.
