URGE Miami Festival Returns for the Upcoming Thanksgiving Weekend
Are you ready URGE Miami Festival? Well, get ready for three spectacular nights and the hottest beach party on the sands of South Beach!
If you’re visiting Miami and looking for the hottest place to be during Thanksgiving weekend, then we’ve got some good news for you. URGE Miami Festival returns for gay revelers who want a weekend to turn up on November 25-28, 2022! Luis Morera, Billy Kemp, and Hilton Wolman produced this fun LGBTQ+ festival weekend that includes three massive events at night and three sizzling daytime celebrations, including the Royal Palm Pool Party and the legendary Beach Party on South Beach. The world’s most famous circuit DJs are set to take the stage, including Alex Lo, Dan Slater, Edu Quintas, Enrico Meloni, Jerac, Joe Gauthreaux, Marvin Ayy, Mauro Mozart, Paulo Fragoso, Suri, Tom Stephan, and more will be announced.
“After the massive success of last year’s Thanksgiving festival, we are excited to do it all over again, bigger and better than ever before,” said Hilton Wolman.
URGE Miami Festival kicks off Friday, November 25 at 10 pm when Barcelona’s Matinee Group makes its triumphant return to Miami with Matinee Pervert XXL. DJs Tom Stephan and Alex Lo will take over the decks at Miami’s newest nightclub, M2 Nightclub, for their raunchiest production ever. The historic nightclub (formerly known as Paragon, Glam Slam, Level, Mansion, and Icon) has been transformed with $10 million upgrades to its structure and its sound and lighting systems. At 35,000 square feet, it will host the largest party ever thrown by URGE. Matinee Group is promising a level of production seldom seen before and they are flying in some of the hottest dancers from Spain and Europe to keep the dancefloor shaking into the wee morning hours.
On Saturday at 2 pm, it’s the Royal Palm South Beach pool party, presented by Eliad Cohen as part of the Papa World Tour. DJs Dan Slater and Paulo Fragoso will raise the temps with their high-energy beats, making extensive use of the incredible facilities at Royal Palm. Expect plenty of wet and wild fun and gorgeous men in skimpy bikinis.
On Saturday night get ready for the Main Event, URGE Warrior! Miami’s premier film studios, home to some of the biggest blockbusters on HBO Max and Netflix, will host the event on their largest sound stage. DJs Suri and Mauro Mozart will battle it out with incredible beats in a spectacular production that’s sure to amaze the crowd.
And all this fabulous fun leads to the festival’s signature event – the Sunday Beach Party on the sands of South Beach. The sandblast begins at 2 pm with DJs Enrico Meloni from Italy and Joe Gauthreaux from the US, dropping the beats on the largest stage, dancefloor, and colossal VIP deck this event has seen before. Kidd Madonny and his company, 3DX, are building the decor for the party and like last year, it will incorporate URGE Miami Festival’s yellow and white retro resort and cabana-influenced theme.
“Circuit fans come from all over the world to experience one of America’s biggest LGBTQ beach parties,” Wolman explains. “We will not disappoint.”
This year’s host hotel is the Royal Palm South Beach. With 400 rooms, more than a quarter of which are suites, the Royal Palm is one of South Beach’s largest hotels, superbly located directly on the beach on Collins at the end of Ocean Drive. It will serve as the location of URGE Miami Festival’s Welcome Center and Saturday Pool Party. It is also a short walk to a majority of the parties. Special $249 room rates are available while supplies last.
A portion of the proceeds from URGE Miami Festival will once again benefit Miami Beach Pride, a not-for-profit organization that works to unite members of the LGBTQ+ community by celebrating the unique spirit and culture of its people.
Tickets for URGE Miami Festival are available now on the website. General Admission and VIP tickets are available, as is the popular 24-hour pass that includes the Sunday Beach Party, Sunday night event, and Monday morning Afterhours event.
