Halloween 2018 Miami Party Guide

Sorry, Miami. Unfortunately, it's one of those years when Halloween falls right in the middle of the week. That means if you plan on partying hard October 31, the chances of you rolling into work hung-over Thursday are high. The good news: In an effort not to let Halloween completely go to waste...

Sorry, Miami. Unfortunately, it's one of those years when Halloween falls right in the middle of the week. That means if you plan on partying hard October 31, the chances of you rolling into work hung-over Thursday are high. The good news: In an effort not to let Halloween completely go to waste, local nightclubs have stretched the costumed celebrations out over a weeklong period. So if you plan to win the Halloween game, have multiple costume options for the multiday celebrations.

Whether you want to party with big-name DJs like Armin van Buuren and Laidback Luke or find something a bit more underground, such as Internet Friends' Halloweed and Humans Alike's Hallowarehouse, there are plenty of options this year.
