Inside Palace Bar’s Miami Beach Pride 2026 Celebration on Ocean Drive
As Miami Beach Pride 2026 takes over South Beach on April 11 and 12, there is one place on Ocean Drive that feels especially central to the energy of the weekend: Palace Bar.
March 23, 2026
For years, Palace has been one of the most recognizable names in Miami Beach LGBTQ+ nightlife, and during Pride, it becomes even more of a go-to spot for people who want to celebrate in the middle of it all. That connection is not random. Tom, the owner and driving force behind Palace Bar, is also a founding member of Miami Beach Pride, which makes the venue’s role during the weekend feel even more meaningful. The Palace is not just nearby during Pride. It is part of the spirit, history, and celebration of the event itself.
So what can people actually do there during Pride weekend?
For starters, Palace gives people a place to gather, celebrate, and keep the energy going throughout the day and night. If you are spending Pride weekend in Miami Beach, Palace is the kind of place where you can stop in with friends, grab cocktails, enjoy the atmosphere, and be surrounded by the kind of crowd that makes the whole weekend feel alive. It is one of those venues that naturally becomes part of people’s Pride plans because it already carries so much personality, visibility, and South Beach energy.
Guests can also expect Palace to serve as a lively place to experience the social side of Miami Beach Pride. Whether you are meeting up before heading to other events, looking for a fun stop along Ocean Drive, or wanting somewhere iconic to continue the celebration, Palace offers that mix of entertainment, nightlife, and community that people want from a Pride weekend destination.
AJ Prasaguet, General Manager of Palace Bar, is also looking ahead to the venue serving as a home for the celebration alongside Tom. That role feels fitting for a place that has become synonymous with joy, performance, resilience, and queer nightlife in Miami Beach. During a weekend as meaningful and high-energy as Pride, Palace becomes more than just a bar. It becomes part of the experience people remember.
Another big part of the appeal is location. Being right on Ocean Drive puts Palace in the center of the action, which matters during a weekend like Miami Beach Pride. You are not tucked away from the celebration. You are in it. That makes it easy and exciting to work into your plans, whether you want a festive drink, a vibrant social atmosphere, or a classic South Beach Pride stop with real history.
And honestly, that history matters. Palace is not just fun. It is part of the larger story of LGBTQ+ life and celebration in Miami Beach.
At a time when Miami Beach Pride continues to draw attention from across South Florida and beyond, Palace remains one of the clearest examples of what it means for a venue to be both iconic and community-rooted. Pride weekend is always about more than parties. It is about showing up, being seen, honoring history, and celebrating how far the community has come. Palace Bar stands right at the center of that energy.
With its 38-year legacy, deep roots in the Pride community, and one of the most recognizable names on South Beach, Palace Bar offers Pride weekend visitors exactly what they are usually looking for: a place to celebrate, connect, soak up the Ocean Drive atmosphere, and be part of something bigger than just one more night out.
If you are planning your Miami Beach Pride 2026 weekend, Palace Bar is the kind of stop that lets you do more than just go out. It lets you feel like you are right where the celebration lives.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
