Sunfest’s Eclectic Finale: Music and Fireworks Galore
From Reggae to Soul: Sunfest Ends with a Bang, Showcasing Musical Brilliance and Nostalgic Harmonies.
The final day of Sunfest started and ended with a bang, literally. The rain from the previous days finally let off for the star-studded lineup that rocked all three stages the entire day. The day featured many different genres that spanned decades of hits and moods. The night ended with a bang as Sunfest concluded with its traditional fireworks from the intracoastal.
Artikal Sound System kicked things off on the LaBovick Law Group Stage. The local reggae band jammed out to the crowd with their funky beats and melodies, even bringing out a member of the band SOJA to close them out. SOJA kept the reggae vibe going on the LaBovick Law Group stage all while famous DJ Steve Aoki had his fans jumping nonstop on the Ford stage. Fans kept up the wild fun even while a cake was tossed at them.
The evening featured an up-and-coming band BabyJake showcasing some of their new tracks from their upcoming album that will be released in the near future. The band’s “Ill do what I want” mantra was on full display they looked like a throwback to 70’s rock stars with their American flag suits. They even paid homage to the legends of that time with covers of the Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin.
Each stage finished the night off with its own headliner. Psychedelic soul band, Black Pumas finished things off at the LaBovick Law Group Stage. The duo is relatively new to the music industry but has hit the ground running, already nominated for a few Grammys since their debut in 2019. The group from Austin, Texas played their hits “Black Moon Rising,” “OCT 33” and finished the night off with “Colors.”
Grammy winners AJR shut the night down on the Ford stage with a mix from their hit albums. The brothers from New York rocked a huge crowd with their music and some funny interactions with the fans. The indie pop band showed an interesting mix of keyboards, guitars and trumpets. They played hits such as “Sober Up,” “Way Less Sad,” “Bang,” “Weak” and “Burn The House Down.”
Boyz II Men closed it down on the Ideal Nutrition Stage with a blast from the past of 90’s harmony and soul. The Philadelphia trio brought Motown to Philly and made international success from it. They rocked a huge West Palm Beach crowd Sunday night of all ages that seemed to know every word. They played a few of their countless hits such as “Motownphilly,” “On Bended Knee,” “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.” They also did an array of covers of Lenny Kravitz songs and finished the evening with one of their biggest hits “End of the Road.”

Inside Palace Bar’s Haus of Gucci Ball
Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
