Delano Miami Beach Presents: Queen of the Jungle

Immersive performances, music and costumed nightlife spread across the ground floor of Delano Miami Beach for a Halloween takeover hosted by Ladyfag and Rigo Lora. Held Saturday, October 31, Queen of the Jungle transforms multiple spaces throughout the South Beach hotel with live entertainment, cocktails and interactive encounters, with costumes encouraged for the 21-and-over event.

Ladyfag emerged from New York’s downtown and underground nightlife scene before becoming an established event producer and curator. Her projects have included the long-running Battle Hymn party, the warehouse series SHADE and LadyLand, the large-scale music festival she launched in 2018. Rigo Lora joins her as co-host of the Delano celebration.

General admission includes four hours of open bar from 8 p.m. to midnight, passed hors d’oeuvres and access to the ground-floor festivities. Reserved cabanas and tables offer additional seating, bottle service and views of the dance floor and pool areas. Valet parking will not be available, and rideshare is encouraged.

The setting carries its own nightlife history. Opened in 1947 and famously reimagined in the 1990s by Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck, Delano became one of South Beach’s defining hotels. The property reopened in 2026 following an extensive restoration that retained key elements of its Art Deco architecture and celebrated design legacy.
