Most places in the US celebrate PRIDE in June, except for Miami Beach because it is far too hot. And we are talking weather … (and maybe the skimpy clad men that take to the sands to party away). So Pride is in April in this happening city with its significant diverse international LGBTQ+ community. The unique make-up of local residents who call Miami home creates the need to celebrate Pride in a style that reflects both the culture and the joie de vivre of such a dynamic city.
This year the theme for Miami Beach Pride was ‘There’s No Place LIke Home’ and the QUEERGURU Team spent the whole afternoon ‘people watching’ and this is what they saw ….

Miami Beach is a real party town and one of the very best is the annual WINTER PARTY FESTIVAL. This year is destined to be even better than usual as they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the organizers the National LGBTQ Task Force. This week-long festival……from March 1st – 7th…. is an annual dance and music festival that will feature a fabulous diverse mix of people, music, and entertainment.
We sent the QUEERGURU to check out the Sunday Afternoon Beach Party where the dress code is ‘wear minimum or less.’ . The only snag was that when the Bars opened our Team swapped their cameras for cocktails and never looked back. So the film has plenty of scantily clad bodies but none of the dancing. I’m told that’s what you get when don’t pay Sunday Overtime..…
During Art Basel Miami Beach week there are 30 Other Satellite Shows on as well. Way too many to even think about visiting, so you have to choose carefully.
Whilst QUEERGURU’s favorite will always be #ARTGAYSEL The Queer Art Fair we also love SCOPE Art Show which is literally located in a huge marquee on the sand. Here’s our own scoop on Scope.
