South Florida Fair’s Shows Are Dino-mite!!!

Published

on

The South Florida Fair is setting record crowds with the help of jaw-dropping shows.

January 21st, 2023

The 111th annual South Florida’s Fair with its Dino-Myte theme has been experiencing record attendance since kicking off on Friday, January 13th. While the familiarity of several vendors, animal exhibits and rides has brought the return of several visitors, this year’s shows were an absolute spectacle. Leading the way were the additions of the Dinotopia Ice Show, Extreme illusions & Escapes and Hollywood Horses Tricks & Tails. While each show displayed eye-catching feats and were absolutely family-friendly, they varied so much in entertainment.

The Dinotopia Ice Show with performers donning incredibly vivacious costumes, caught your attention the second they came into view. But that monumental attention took on new heights as the professional ice skaters also showcased some unreal contortions. Spinning at ridiculous speeds, they definitely captivated audience members with their grace and flexibility. However, while they were very entertaining, they took a backseat to the dinosaurs on ice. Yeah, you read that right. These showstoppers were outrageously fun and had everybody gleaming.

Yet, watching Extreme Illusions & Escapes and Hollywood Horses Tricks & Tails, the entertainment didn’t drop off at all. Veteran comedian-magician Josh Knotts executes some theatrics that will have you baffled for quite some time. From incredible illusions to unexplainable escapes, it’s a show that truly is worth the price of your ticket alone. Even with audience members on stage and up-close with the performer, they were caught off guard as each one of us in the crowd. At Tricks & Tails, horses which appeared on TV and Film showcased skills that didn’t seem feasible for animals of their size. On command these horses not only stood on small platforms, but they also bowed and even stood fully extended while on just two hoofs. But, the craziest thing was watching one of them play fetch as if they were a dog. 

The South Florida Fair is produced by the South Florida Fair & Palm Beach County Expositions, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and has a longstanding tradition of raising funds for educational and charitable purposes. Located at 9067 Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach, the 2023 South Florida Fair kicked off with its Ride-A-Thon on January 12th and wraps up on the 29th.

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.
