When November rolls around, Miami transforms into a global hub of music, celebration, and inclusivity.

From November 28th to 30th, 2025, the city will pulse with the sounds of top DJs, beach parties, and unforgettable energy โ€” and for those seeking to take the experience beyond the dance floor, Miami Aqua Tours offers the perfect way to add a breathtaking ocean escape to your weekend.

Hosted by URGE Miami Festival, this annual celebration has become one of the most anticipated LGBTQ+ dance festivals in the United States. Itโ€™s a three-day explosion of music, diversity, and connection, bringing together thousands of attendees from around the world.
