Miami Beach Is Always Hot but Memorial Day Weekend SIZZLES!
Memorial Day Weekend in Miami Beach is always smoking hot, but since 2002 it Sizzles! Sizzle South Beach, “America’s most celebrated and anticipated urban gay event” is the brainchild of Dwight Daniel. This extra long weekend party will take over the National Hotel from Thursday, May 21, 2020 through Memorial Day Monday on May 25, 2020 for what are sure to be the hottest parties on the beach this holiday weekend, with the skimpiest, tightest, sexiest swimsuits Miami has to offer!
What started as a one-day party in Miami during Memorial Day Weekend in 2002 has blossomed into five full days of events. With pool parties at the host hotel (National Hotel Miami Beach) to beach parties at Miami’s famed Haulover Beach - one of the best naturist beaches in the world - you know this holiday weekend is going to be ON FIRE!
Where to Stay
A few room packages at the National Hotel remain but they are going fast, so act quickly before they are gone. Don’t worry - if they are sold out, there are tons of other options in Miami Beach.
Sizzle South Beach Tickets
As far as event tickets are concerned, many of the events are expected to sell out, but at some events, tickets will be available at the door. Because some of the events will sell out, Sizzle organizers offer Ultimate and Night Club Passes that guarantee admission to the events as well as VIP Experience with no lines and no waiting. Take a look at all ticket options, but basically both Ultimate and Club Express cards come in three- or four-day options. The Ultimate Pass includes all the day events as well as the evening parties. The Night Club Pass ONLY includes admission to the evening events, as well as VIP Experience with no line and no waiting.
Sizzle South Beach will burn the candle at both ends all weekend long so if day drinking is your thing, they got you. If you are a night owl on the prowl, don’t worry; there’s plenty of options for you too with parties that don’t end till the sun comes up the next day!
