Spring in Miami: Pride, Parades & Unforgettable Parties

Sunshine and ocean breezes encapsulate everything wonderful about springtime in Miami, but along with that comes a time to celebrate. Festivals and events are plentiful in Miami during spring; from the fun Miami Beach Pride to the green-tinged festivities of St. Patrick’s Day, the excitement during Spring Break is non-stop. If you are searching for the go-to guide on how to make the most of Miami’s spring events, you’ve just found it. We are sharing the top events of the season.
Miami Beach Pride: A Celebration of Love & Unity
When: April 4–6, 2025
Where: Miami Beach (Lummus Park & Ocean Drive)
Miami Beach Pride is when the whole city comes alive to celebrate love, diversity, and self-expression. Each year, Miami comes together to throw a huge weekend party that’s filled with great music, art, and all-round fun vibes.
Lummus Park becomes a festival hotspot with live performances, drag shows, and special spots like the “Garden of Eve” for women and the “Trans Pavillion.” Here everyone gets the chance to express themselves freely and enjoy everything the festival has to offer.
This festival is about a 15-minute walk away from Upsun Hotel & Social Club, meaning you won’t have to stress about parking space or missing out on any of the exciting action at the festival.
St. Patrick’s Day: Irish Spirit, Miami Style
When: March 17, 2025
Where: Various locations around Miami
Miami may not be known for its Irish roots, but when St. Paddy’s rolls around, the city knows how to celebrate. Think street parties, live music, and plenty of Guinness flowing in the bars of Brickell, Wynwood, and South Beach. While Miami itself doesn’t host a massive parade, you’ll find smaller celebrations popping up across the city, all infused with that unmistakable Miami flair—sunshine, Latin beats, and a mix of cultures coming together over a pint (or two).
Spring Break in Miami: Sun, Sand & Nonstop Parties
When: March-Early April
Where: Miami Beach, Wynwood, Downtown
If there’s one thing Miami is famous for and does well in the spring, it’s Spring Break. Expect beach parties that last all day and nightlife that doesn’t stop until the sun comes up. South Beach is ground zero for the action, but if you’re looking for a slightly different vibe, check out Wynwood’s artsy bars or head downtown for rooftop parties with stunning views. Beyond the parties, there’s plenty to do—think jet skiing, boat tours, or even a day trip to the Everglades to switch things up.

Miami in spring is like a giant, sun-soaked festival. The energy is high, the streets are filled with people from all over the world, and there’s an electric sense of excitement in the air.
