URGE Miami Thanksgiving Festival
This event has been cancelled, please contact the organizers directly for further details.
Get ready for the URGE Miami Thanksgiving Festival, one of the world’s biggest LGBTQ events and circuit parties. For 2025, URGE is back and better than ever. Taking place across Greater Miami & Miami Beach from Friday, November 28 through Sunday, November 30, URGE boasts three massive evening events, the legendary Sunday Beach Party and a Monday morning after-hours event. With four days of parties, URGE has everything you need to keep dancing until the world (or at least the party) ends.
Miami and URGE: A Perfect Fit
Michael Lozano, a spokesperson for URGE and one of the organizers, is excited for travelers from across the world to descend on Miami for the festival. “There are many reasons why Miami is the perfect place for our upcoming festival,” he says. “Diversity is first and foremost one of the key aspects of the Miami experience, and our festival aims at bringing people together from all walks of life.”
Circuit parties such as URGE are popular within the LGBTQ community. Lozano describes circuit parties as “themed dance events with curated music, state-of-the-art installations and performers, generally held in large venues. They emerged out of gay communities in New York around the late 1970s. They are largely owned and operated by members of the community and they have served as an important safe space for sexual and gender expression. Musically, they have evolved to incorporate elements of house, dance and techno music.”
