The best Miami New Year’s Eve events and parties to ring in 2025

Ever wonder what it feels like to party inside of a bank vault? We Belong Here is an EDM music festival taking place at the Historic Alfred duPont building with Benjamin Lloyd, Calussa, Mojave Grey (live) and more across two unique stages—one inside a former bank vault, the other framed by floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of Miami’s first sunrise of 2025. Admission for New Year’s Eve starts at $125, while all-night open bar packages start at $250.

Dive into 2025 at Sexy Fish Miami’s “Midnight Fish,” an evening where the DJ chops disco tracks like waves in the deep blue sea. There are the creative bites and cocktails we’ve come to expect from Sexy Fish, accompanied by captivating performances and acrobatics to the soundtrack of DJ Pablo Fierro.

With the Mandarin Oriental’s demolition set for May 2025, this may be your very last chance to celebrate New Year’s Eve on Brickell Key for a while.

The Premier Package ($450) includes Taittinger Champagne, a refined seafood platter, and an indulgent dessert trio. Elevate the evening with the Elite Package ($650), featuring Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne, or the Supreme Package ($850) with Dom Pérignon, sushi rolls and signature bites. For walk-ins, entry is $50, offering a chance to savor à la carte options like sushi rolls and beef sliders.

Ring in 2025 at InterContinental Miami, a perfect vantage point for Bayfront Park’s festivities as well as the location of the annual “Big Orange” drop. Choose from the Sweets & Bubbles Rooftop VIP Fireworks, where $75 grants private rooftop access, house-made sweets, champagne and breathtaking views of the midnight fireworks over Biscayne Bay, or opt for the Toro Toro NYE Dinner & VIP Fireworks Viewing, a $325-per-person experience featuring a luxurious five-course Pan-Latin feast, live entertainment, and rooftop access for the fireworks and a midnight champagne toast. 

Step into 2025 with the Cabaret Caliente Gala, a New Year’s Eve celebration with a touch of old-school Latin flare.

Ringing in the new year with gaggles of buff, shirtless men? Say less. Dreamland NYE returns to Miami from December 27, 2024 to January 1, 2025, offering a premium LGBTQ+ New Year's experience.

Many of the events will be taking place at ZeyZey in Little River.

Coconut Grove isn’t only a perfect spot to brunch on New Year’s Day, but also a fantastic mainland locale to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Regatta Grove promises a night of live music, handcrafted cocktails and bites from The Piefather and JJ’s Guilty Pleasures, all set against an unobstructed view of the fireworks on Biscayne Bay. Best of all, tickets start at $50, making it a great 21-plus option for anyone who wants to pop bottles, not budgets. 

Ring in 2025 at Level 6’s “Noche de Discoteca,” a rooftop celebration blending Coconut Grove’s canopy skyline with Barcelona-inspired vibes. This elevated NYE party kicks off with several three-course prix fixe seatings and champagne, followed by an open bar from 10pm to midnight and a vibrant after-party. 

If a cozy cocktail lounge is your idea of a perfect New Year’s Eve, consider The Commodore at The Ritz–Carlton Coconut Grove. From 5pm to 1am, enjoy a lively DJ set, an à la carte menu of sips and bites, and the countdown to midnight on flat screens in a cozy cocktail lounge atmosphere. Perfect for those seeking something a little more understated but still sophisticated to welcome 2025.

1925 may have been 100 years ago, but a Gatsby party never goes out of style—especially with Copper 29’s happy hour specials. Kick off New Year’s Eve in the Gables with $5 to $7 drinks and 50% off premium selections from 5 to 8pm, then slip behind the red curtains into a speakeasy celebration. As the night heats up with live music, a DJ and a confetti-filled toast at midnight, the drinks keep flowing, setting the stage for a dazzling 1920s-inspired celebration.

Celebrate New Year’s Eve at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, where 23 acres of illuminated displays create a magical setting for families looking for a unique way to welcome 2025. Wander through rainbow-lit pathways, marvel at interactive installations like Archimedes the Talking Tree, and embark on an augmented reality Fairy Quest. The evening features live music, seasonal treats, and a spectacular fireworks finale—all in a serene, enchanting atmosphere, far from the bustle of the beach.

Leave it to Insomniac & Link Miami Rebels to a New Year’s Eve rave that lasts not one, but two nights. The party starts Friday, December 27 and picks up again three days later on December 31 with Above & Beyond, Nora & Pure and more. Ditch the heels, don the Docs and dance your face off amidst techno lights, infectious beats and apocalyptic warehouses as you ring in 2025.
