Art Week is the one time of year when Miami collectively decides sleep is optional, outfits become architectural, and every warehouse, hotel, rooftop, backlot, and beach bar transforms into a temporary nightlife embassy.
Whether you’re here to network, to dance until your sneakers beg for mercy, or to pretend you “just stumbled into” the party everyone is posting about, this is the week when the city delivers. From mega-club residencies to indie takeovers and sunrise-friendly festivals, here are the parties anyone can actually get into during Miami Art Week 2025.
Yves Tumor at Silencio at Edition
Why not kick off the week with a dose of surrealism this Miami art season? The renowned Silencio club, originally imagined by none other than David Lynch in Paris and inspired by his film Mulholland Drive, returns to the Miami Beach Edition hotel for the second year in a row. This time, curating a magnetic music lineup across three nights: on Tuesday, December 2, Wednesday, December 3, and Friday, December 5. The opening night will feature Yves Tumor, fresh off his critically acclaimed collaboration with Rosalía and Björk on the single “Berghain.” Benji B and The Dare will take over the decks on the following nights. 10 p.m. at Basement at Edition, 2901 Collins Ave, Miami Beach; editionhotels.com.Table reservations: +33 683 008 720
Gunna, Tiesto, Black Coffee, John Summit, and Others at Basel Edition at LIV
LIV stays undefeated during Art Week, and 2025’s Basel Edition feels like a certified flex from one of the most famous nightclubs on the planet. Wednesday brings chart-torching Gunna to set the tone, Thursday flips the switch with global dance titan Tiesto, Friday welcomes the ever-magnetic Black Coffee, and Saturday caps things off with John Summit, who is somehow everywhere at once yet still uniquely electric in the 305. Wednesday, December 3, through Saturday, December 6, at LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; livnightclub.com. Ticket prices vary.
Gordo, Blond:ish, MAXI MERAKI, and Others at Toe Jam Backlot
Toe Jam stays true to form with three nights of sweaty, Wynwood-style mayhem. Gordo headlines December 3, Blond:ish brings her kaleidoscopic sound on December 4, and MAXI MERAKI seals the deal on December 5, among other peeps popping in. Expect industrial grit, smoke machines, food trucks, and that signature backlot feeling that makes people think, I am absolutely staying out too late, and I have zero regrets. 9 p.m. Wednesday, December 3, through Friday, December 5, at Toe Jam Backlot, 150 NW 21st St., Miami; toejambacklot.com. Ticket prices vary via linktr.ee.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
TY Dolla $ign, 50 Cent, Marshmello, and Camelphat The Art of Nightlife at E11EVEN
If Art Week had a 24/7 headquarters, it would be E11EVEN, of course. Miami’s most famous no-sleep playground is loading up with headliners big enough to rattle nearby Biscayne Boulevard and beyond. TY Dolla $ign kicks off Wednesday, Fifty steps in on Thursday, Marshmello goes full sugar-high on Saturday, and Camelphat wraps things up on Sunday for those who somehow still have stamina left. Wednesday, December 3, through Sunday, December 7, at E11EVEN, 29 NE 11th St., Miami; 11miami.com. Ticket prices vary.

The Sagamore is basically operating its own micro-festival. Expect immersive art, digital showcases, mixology moments, a seven-foot Orb of Harmony sculpture, live orchestral performances, astronaut appearances, and that unmistakable South Beach brunch-party fun that only the Sagamore and BitBasel can engineer. Wednesday, December 3 through Sunday, December 7 at the Sagamore South Beach, 1671 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; sagamoresouthbeach.com. Events vary in pricing.
Lágrimas y Violetas at Las Rosas
Two of Miami’s most cult-beloved underground parties unite for a one-night takeover that might melt the eyeliner off everyone within a two-block radius. The long-awaited return of Lagrimas pairs with Violetas for a deep-cut fusion of darkwave, post-punk, goth, salsa, disco, freestyle, and Miami bass. Yes, it’s all the magic in one. Live sets, DJ rooms, visuals by Digi.Chel, and a chonga-forward aesthetic make this the subcultural event of the week. 9 p.m. Thursday, December 4, at Las Rosas, 2899 NW 7th Ave., Miami; lasrosasmiami.com. Free.
Miles Davis Vinyl at Dante’s Hi-Fi
If your soul needs a breather from LED walls and sunrise techno, Dante’s Hi-Fi in partnership with Montreux Jazz Fest Miami deliver a little pocket of serenity. To kick off next year’s Miles Davis centennial, co-owner Rich Medina pulls from his personal vinyl archives for a high-fidelity listening session that feels like a jazz cathedral for the Art Week masses. Warmth, nuance, velvet lighting, and a perfect reminder that quiet can hit harder than a drop – that’ll be the vibe. 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, December 4, at Dante’s Hi-Fi, 519 NW 26th St., Miami; danteshifi.com.

This year’s edition leans heavily into Art With Me’s core pillars, from multimedia experiences to community-driven programming to late-night dance sequences among towering murals.

Tiesto, Hugel, and Others at Factory Basel 2025 at Factory Town
Factory Town’s annual Art Week spectacle returns with its signature blend of warehouse theatrics and global dance-music heavyweights. With December 5 through 8 shaping up as peak programming, expect sonic chaos, Elrow spectacle, sunrise endurance sessions, and a lineup that will likely elicit both awe and immediate FOMO. Factory Basel is never subtle, never small, and never not packed. With Tiesto, Hugel, and other heavyweights within its endless lineup, that reputation ain’t changing. Friday, December 5, through Monday, December 8, at Factory Town, 4800 NW 37th Ave., Miami; factorytown.com. Ticket prices vary via dice.fm.
Tribute to DJ Seamstar at The Bridge Miami
The Bridge Miami will throw an Art Week block party in honor of DJ Seamstar — a Miami legend who lived at the intersection of sound and street art. This all-day tribute will unite the MSG crew for a large-scale live mural, featuring b-boy and b-girl showcases. DJ LeSpam will spin from his vintage VW bus, and a fine art exhibit will take place inside the space. 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, December 6, at the Bridge, 4220 NW 7th Ave., Miami; www.thebridgemiaminpo.org.

Black Coffee will provide the soundtrack for Downtown Miami this Saturday. As part of Space Basel’s tradition of transforming unexpected corners into full-on dance floors, this open-air takeover at the steps of the Miami-Dade County Courthouse is Art Week’s after-dark pilgrimage. What to expect? genre-bending blend of Afro-house, melodic tech, and high-frequency soul from Black Coffee, joined by Arodes and Floyd Lavine. 10 p.m. Saturday, December 6, at 73 W. Flagler St., Miami; clubspace.com. Tickets via dice.fm.
The Coffee Party at Tala Beach
The Coffee Party returns to South Beach with a caffeine-meets-culture vibe that feels like sunrise in event form. Start with Morning Movements, a Pilates-based workout led by Anatomy’s Sandy Gonzalez, then roll into an oceanside mixer blending DJs, independent vendors, wellness corners, and plenty of coffee culture. It is hands-down the most wholesome place to be hungover during Art Week. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, December 6, at Tala Beach, 2341 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-604-6755; 1hotels.com.

Weedmaps Kickback at Toe Jam Backlot
The notorious weed guide is throwing an event in Wynwood, Kickback, bringing a full-spectrum mix of cannabis culture, street art, and music to Toe Jam Backlot. Expect immersive builds like the Smoke Bus and Green Room Bus, a tattoo-ready takeover by The Seventh Letter, and a lineup headlined by Tokischa and Skillibeng, with DJs Silent Addy and Venus on deck. It’s a smoke-friendly Basel sendoff that’s part block party, part art rave. 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday, December 7, at Toe Jam Backlot, 150 NW 21st St., Miami; toejambacklot.com.
