Turkey, tequila shots, pumpkin spice everything, and the fiercest queens in Miami take over November


November 7, 2025

Thanksgiving season arrives early at R House Wynwood. All November long, the beloved drag and dine destination is hosting celebrity homecomings, pop culture themed brunches, Broadway inspired weekends, reggaeton celebrations, and special Thanksgiving events. The atmosphere feels warm and upbeat, the food leans to fall flavors with a Miami twist, and each weekend offers something a little different for guests who want food, community, and entertainment all in one place.

A Month of November Performances

R House begins the month with a major homecoming. On November 8, Fantasia Royale Gaga returns to the venue where her career first gained momentum before she took over Las Vegas. She follows her Saturday night appearance with a special headlining performance at drag brunch on November 9. The weekend blends nostalgia with big stage energy and gives longtime fans a chance to see her again up close.

The same Saturday, guests can experience the Keeping Up With the Kardashians Drag Brunch. Athena Dion steps into full Kris Jenner mode. Lana Luxx joins the cast along with T Lo Ivy, Kat Wilderness, Juicy Love Dion, and Dvice Dion. The brunch is playful, colorful, and filled with familiar pop culture references.

On November 15 and 16, R House honors RuPaul’s birthday with a tribute weekend. Saturday’s Dolls After Dark is hosted by T Lo Ivy with performances by Kat Wilderness and Juicy Love Dion. Sunday’s brunch is hosted by Athena Dion with Miami Starr, Serenity Hinez Dupree, Brittish Jay Foxx, and Chachita Rubio. The celebration mixes upbeat music, glamour, and a nod to one of drag’s most influential figures.

The Wicked Release Weekend takes the stage on November 21 and 22. Fans of theatrical performances will enjoy tributes inspired by Elphaba and Glinda. Friday’s Yas Queen show is hosted by Kat Wilderness with Tayanna Love, FKA Twink, and Chachita Rubio. Saturday’s brunch brings together Athena Dion, Kat Wilderness, Tayanna Love, Dvice Dion, and Gadfrie for a bright and lively show.

On November 23, R House hosts the Bad Bunny Brunch. Athena Dion leads the energy with performances from Tayanna Love, Gadfrie, Juicy Love Dion, and Dvice Dion. The afternoon blends reggaeton, Miami style, and a fun tribute to one of Latin music’s biggest stars.

Thanksgiving Drag Brunch Takes Over

Thanksgiving drag brunch arrives on November 22 and 23 and returns on November 29 and 30. Athena Dion hosts all four brunches alongside Gadfrie, Chachita Rubio, Brittish Jay Foxx, T Lo Ivy, and Tayanna Love.

Chef Rocco’s Take Home Thanksgiving Meal Kits

Palace Pride 2026 Is Turning Ocean Drive Into Miami Beach’s Most Joyful Stage

Published

on

If there is one place in Miami Beach that knows how to make Pride Month feel larger than life, it is The Palace.


June 6, 2026

This June, the legendary Ocean Drive hotspot is going all in with Palace Pride 2026: Center Stage, Open Arms, a month-long celebration packed with drag, dining, nightlife, community moments, celebrity appearances, and the kind of sidewalk-to-stage energy that has made Palace one of South Florida’s most beloved LGBTQ+ institutions.

For decades, Palace has been more than a restaurant or bar. It is the kind of place where brunch becomes a performance, a walk down Ocean Drive turns into a front-row seat, and visitors quickly understand why Miami Beach does Pride with its own unmistakable rhythm. Locals know it. Tourists find it. And once you have seen a Palace queen command the room, the street, and everyone’s attention in one glittering moment, you get it.

This year’s Pride Month lineup brings that energy into full color.

One of the month’s biggest highlights lands on Tuesday, June 9, when Latrice Royale comes to Palace for a special evening tied to the release of Stop! That! Train!, a new feature film connected to the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe. For fans of drag, pop culture, and campy cinematic chaos, this is one of those nights that feels tailor-made for Palace. Latrice has long been loved for her humor, warmth, presence, and unmistakable star power, making her appearance a major moment in an already packed June calendar.

But Palace Pride 2026 is not built around one night alone. The venue’s signature weekly programming will keep the celebration rolling with favorites like DollHouse Mondays, Spill the Tea Tuesdays, Wayback Wednesdays, Noche Latina Thursdays, Drag Madness Fridays, Drags Gone Wild Saturdays, and A Palace Affair Sundays. In other words, there is no “quiet night” at Palace this month. Every day has its own flavor, its own crowd, and its own reason to show up.

The June programming also reflects the deeper role Palace plays in Miami Beach’s LGBTQ+ community. Alongside the performances and parties, the month will include moments centered on community connection, LGBTQ+ artists and entrepreneurs, local organizations, chosen-family gatherings, Juneteenth celebrations honoring Black queer excellence, Stonewall remembrance, and collaborations with LGBTQ+ businesses.

That balance is part of what makes Palace special. Yes, it is glamorous. Yes, it is loud. Yes, brunch can absolutely turn into a full production. But underneath all the sparkle is something more meaningful: a space where people gather, celebrate, feel seen, and bring their full selves to the table.

Palace is also embracing Miami’s global audience this June with Pride Global Nights, a new initiative designed to welcome international visitors through queen-led programming, multilingual moments, and globally inspired entertainment. With Miami Beach already serving as a magnet for travelers from around the world, Palace is using Pride Month to turn that international energy into a celebration of culture, connection, and community.

And because it would not be Palace without something delicious in hand, guests can also expect expanded food and beverage offerings throughout the month. Think elevated cocktails, new menu items, brunch favorites, seasonal specials, and plenty of reasons to make a reservation that starts as “just one drink” and somehow becomes an entire afternoon.

This June, Palace Pride 2026 is bringing together everything the venue does best: the performances, the cocktails, the community, the camp, the glamour, and the open-arms welcome that has made Palace a Miami Beach landmark.

Whether you are a local, a tourist, a drag superfan, a brunch loyalist, or just someone looking for a Pride Month celebration with real heart, Palace is ready to give you a seat, a show, and probably a reason to stay longer than planned.

Lila Nikole and Platinum FUBU Bring the Amazonia Experience to Miami Swim Week

Published

on

Miami Swim Week is about to get even more immersive. On Sunday, May 31 at 2:00 PM, designer Lila Nikole will present The Golden Standard: Amazonia Experience at Tequila Town in Miami, debuting a new collaboration with Platinum FUBU during one of fashion’s biggest weekends in South Florida.


May 15, 2026

Inspired by the richness and mystique of the Brazilian rainforest, the presentation moves beyond the traditional runway format and into a cinematic, multi sensory experience where fashion, storytelling, music, and visual artistry come together in one space.

Known for her bold and culture driven design aesthetic, Lila Nikole transforms the venue into what organizers describe as a living narrative filled with character led moments and immersive visual storytelling. The event will also introduce a limited edition Lila Nikole x Platinum FUBU collection, marking a new chapter for both brands.

“This collaboration is incredibly personal for me,” says Lila Nikole. “Growing up in Queens, FUBU was more than a brand, it was a cultural force that shaped my earliest connection to fashion and identity. To now partner with a label that played such a pivotal role in my journey feels truly full circle.”

The collection reimagines Platinum FUBU’s iconic legacy through Lila Nikole’s creative lens, blending the brand’s signature identity with a modern, luxury focused perspective.

The event also coincides with the continued expansion of Platinum FUBU, the designer driven evolution of the iconic label known for its premium materials and fashion forward silhouettes.

Adding to the atmosphere, Miami based cultural partner Miamibloco will feature Bateria Saideira, described as the largest Rio style samba percussion orchestra in the United States. Music throughout the experience will also include sounds by DJ Dinero and DJ Trauma.

Rather than separating guests from the presentation, the experience is intentionally designed to feel intimate and barrier free. Attendees will move throughout the space while engaging directly with the craftsmanship, textures, and details that define both Lila Nikole’s aesthetic and Platinum FUBU’s luxury direction.

What: The Golden Standard: Amazonia Experience by Lila Nikole in collaboration with Platinum FUBU
