MIAMI — Halloween in South Florida is anything but ordinary. From haunted tiki lounges to high-fashion costume galas, the region is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the spookiest night of the year.
In Miami, the festivities kick off in Wynwood, where R House is transforming into “R Web of Nightmares.”
The drag-themed bash will feature eerie décor, over-the-top costumes and a performance by Kylie Sonique Love from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Guests can compete in a $500 costume contest as DJs spin into the night.
For those who prefer an all-night spectacle, downtown’s E11EVEN Miami is turning into a fantasy playground with aerialists, dancers and headlining rapper Sexyy Redd performing. The dusk-to-dawn party promises a mix of mystery, music and star power.
Over on Miami Beach, the Queen’s “Royal Anarchy” party at the historic Paris Theatre blends gothic glamour with glitzy decadence, while Faena Miami Beach hosts its “Haunting Elegance” weekend — complete with live music, moody cocktails and a red carpet scene that’s always camera-ready.
In Brickell, Marion Miami — famed for its extravagant dinner parties — is trading elegance for enchantment with a circus-inspired celebration.
The “Circus Soirée” will immerse guests in dazzling lights, daring feats, and decadent dining, as performers transform the restaurant into a seductive supper club.
Across the causeway, Watr at 1 Rooftop atop 1 Hotel South Beach is inviting guests to its “Halloween Wonderland,” a moonlit rooftop experience set against the Miami skyline.
From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., partygoers can enjoy mystical décor, Japanese-inspired bites, and DJ performances by Dan.K and Cardi. Couch and cabana packages include entry and food platters for an elevated night under the stars.
Further north, Broward County is keeping the Halloween spirit alive with its own brand of spooky sophistication.
Fort Lauderdale’s iconic Mai-Kai restaurant is bringing back “Hulaween” after a five-year hiatus, complete with tiki torches, tropical drinks and a $1,000 costume contest.
At W Fort Lauderdale, partygoers can relive the decade of dial-up internet and butterfly clips at the hotel’s 1990s-themed “Haunted Glam Party.”
Meanwhile, sports fans can head to Bokamper’s for one of the area’s largest Halloween bashes, offering DJs, themed food and $5,000 in prizes for the best costumes.
And for those staying closer to home, Wilton Manors’ massive “Wicked Manors” block party is expected to draw thousands of revelers to Wilton Drive with elaborate costumes and entertainment well into the night.
Whether it’s drag queens, DJs or tiki cocktails, South Florida is proving once again that Halloween is more than a holiday — it’s a lifestyle.
