Who said Halloween was just for kids? These are the hottest Halloween parties across Miami filled with costume contests, live music and cocktails.
Halloween on Lincoln Road
Always a hot spot for people watching, Lincoln Road is a true feast for the eyes on Halloween. For an only-in-Miami Halloween celebration, come out to South Beach’s Lincoln Road on Halloween night when the pedestrian promenade becomes a catwalk for some of the most outrageous and creative Halloween costumes you’ve ever seen. Don your best costume and join the parade of people. Bar hop or grab a bite to eat at a sidewalk café and watch the streams of whacky costumes go by. If you're after a party atmosphere, join the party later at night as it becomes more raucous.
