Circuit Festival Miami is Being Served Hot This Thanksgiving Wknd

Beginning November 28th, thousands of gay men from around the globe will flock to our shores for Circuit Festival Miami, a massive five night, four day spectacular. Produced by Luis Morera, Billy Kemp and Hilton Wolman, the men behind the popular Miami party brand URGE, the gaiety begins Thanksgiving night.

"Festival parties are all about good music, great times, and amazing people," says Morera. "The ultimate goal is leave partygoers with a feeling that they have bonded with people in the gay community who are just like them."

Festival events like Circuit Festival Miami are one of the most unique phenomena to emerge from queer communities over the past few decades. They attract men from around the world, looking to come together to bond spiritually, socially and musically. They have become a large symbol of queer visibility, something the LGBTQ community of Miami needs right now.

"Miami nightlife is not what it was," Morera contends. "You can count the number of gay nightclubs on just about one hand. We have seen legendary parties close shop."

"The nights of multiple options are gone," he continues. "And most weekends, it feels more like a bar crawl. You start out at one place and once the crowd starts moving, you pack up and go to the next."

Luckily, Miami Beach's sand and sun still bring in the international tourists. "They keep our scene fresh. We learn what's cool, what music is hitting in Europe, what fashions are coming..."

Morera, Kemp and Wolman do not want to lose them and that is why they say large events like Circuit Festival Miami are so important. "We need to give tourists something fun to do."

The Circuit Festival Miami weekend will begin Friday night at Space in downtown Miami. Then on Saturday and Sunday, the party moves inside the massive Magic City Studios in the heart of Miami.

The weekend's show-stopping event will be the La Leche Beach Party. Morera, Kemp and Wolman are promising this year's event will be bigger and more impressive than ever before with a new location on the sand, a top of the line sound and lighting system, an incredible stage with 20+ dancers and a secret, surprise, live performance.

The talent coming in for Circuit Festival Miami is a veritable who's who of international gay nightlife. They include DJs Abel (Aguilera) Isaac Escalante, Taito Tikaro, Tom Stephan, GSP, Lydia Sanz, Ivan Gomez, Nacho Chapado, Ed Wood, Rick Braile, Phil Romano, and Dan Slater.

A portion of the proceeds from Circuit Festival Miami will benefit Miami Beach Pride, a not-for-profit organization that works to unite members of the LGBTQ community by celebrating the unique spirit and culture of its people.

For out-of-towners flying into Miami for the event, this year’s host hotel is The DREAM on South Beach, part of the prestigious Dream Hotel Group. They are currently offering specially negotiated rates starting at just $146/night.
