Miami Beach Pride is set for April 4-6, 2025. This 17th annual event features a series of activities, performances and activations, culminating in the two-day Festival & Parade on April 5 & 6. This year’s theme, “Embrace Your Journey,” invites attendees to explore and honor their unique paths through a whimsical, immersive experience inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The festival will feature themed decor and characters.
To help you plan the ultimate Pride-induced celebratory weekend for your clients, here are some of the hotels offering special experiences and promotions next week.
Where to Stay Along Ocean Drive (Parade Route)
As the Miami Beach Pride Parade makes its way along Ocean Drive, it will culminate at The Betsy South Beach, a Michelin Key oceanfront boutique resort known for its commitment to inclusivity. During the parade, the hotel’s facade will be illuminated with vibrant art projections in honor of Pride, while The Betsy Orb, an egg-shaped bridge connecting the hotel’s two buildings, will glow as a beacon of pride.
Throughout the year, The Betsy showcases LGBTQ+ artists. For example, “The Poetry Rail,” an installation featuring poetry etched into metal by water jets, honors 12 poets who have significantly shaped Miami’s history and culture, including Richard Blanco, the fifth U.S. presidential inaugural poet, and Julie Marie Wade, a Lambda Literary Award finalist.
The hotel also features Andy Sweet’s iconic photography, capturing Miami Beach’s LGBTQ+ history and Jewish immigrant community from the ’70s and ’80s.
