Miami Halloween Party Events

Halloween Parties in South Florida just keep getting better and better, so we have updated our week long countdown with some of the best events in town to help you decide where to strut your stuff! As the invitations roll in, we’re stocking up on Red Bull energy drinks to keep us wide awake for Pete Tong, Steve Aoki, Beacher’s Madhouse, Danny Tenaglia and so many costume changes, we’re already choking on the glitter!

Once a month on South Beach, the full moon brings out an unusually lusty party crowd who gather on the sands behind the Ritz Carlton Hotel to slake their thirst with $7 rum cocktails and howl as the golden orb rises over the Atlantic Ocean. This month, the Moon Over Miami Party coincides with Halloween creating the perfect atmosphere for a bacchanal under the stars.

We’ve decided this will be the optimal place to start our Saturday night strut because there is no cover charge, no better place to have an “only in Miami” experience, and bare feet just happen to be our favorite costume! OK - we will probably put our shoes back on before we hit Lincoln Mall…

For something a bit more dressy, pop up to the swank penthouse party atop the Raleigh Hotel where $20 gets you in the door for one drink and a chance to do the Charleston with a host  of naughty Prohibition-themed revelers at The Cat’s Meow bash. The Raleigh is a gorgeous landmark property with a few public spaces most of us never get to visit. Unless you are a Rock Star (or an AIG executive), the penthouse is probably not in your travel budget, so hit this party if you want to see how the big dogs roll.

Friday night in Downtown Miami, the single and fabulous will gather high atop the Viceroy Hotel at Club 50 for a Fatal Attraction Halloween Preview Bash starting at 8pm with two full hours of FREE Stoli cocktails. Once you’ve paraded around in your costume, enjoy tarot card readings with Alejandra Amaris, magical illusions by Marti Brill and tricks and treats galore until midnight.
