Don’t be a homebody: Here’s where to go out for New Year’s Eve 2024 in Miami

See ya, 2023! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

If you’re not totally tuckered out from all the Art Basel/Christmas holiday parties yet, it’s time to think about where you’re going out for New Year’s Eve. Luckily, Miami isn’t lacking in the things to do department. We’ve rounded up a ton of events, parties, dinners and happenings around town for the evening of Dec. 31 (reminder that’s a Sunday Funday).

HOTELS

The Biltmore: This stunning Coral Gables landmark is classy party central for those 21 and up. Enjoy a premium open bar and gourmet bites as you dance the night away to the sounds of a live DJ, light show and fireworks. General admission is $250 at www.eventbrite.com, through Dec. 27. No tickets will be sold at the door.

10 p.m. to 1 a.m., Granada Ballroom at the Biltmore Hotel, 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables

The Fontainebleau: Spend 2024 with the always entertaining Cardi B, who definitely knows how to put on a show (see her “WAP” video for evidence). The rapper will be front and center at the legendary property’s oceanfront pool, along with DJ Gryffin. A variety of ticket packages are available, which include premium open bar, as well as prime seating at reserved tables and/or cabanas. Coincidentally (or not), Cardi’s estranged husband Offset will also be on site, performing at the hotel’s nightclub LIV. Can we say awkward?

Issabella’s: Enter the new year as someone anonymous at this Lincoln Road eatery’s “A Night in Venice” masquerade ball. That means along with black tie attire, you’ll need to wear a mask, to be removed only to indulge in a caviar-supplemented menu.

1022 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; Seatings start at 7 p.m. $125. Reservations: Exploretock.com

Marion: Dig through your jewelry box for your best rhinestones, then prepare to boogie at the Dancing in Diamonds celebration. Indulge in a la carte eats while performers encourage you to move to the beat all night long. Two seatings at 7 p.m. ($195) and 9 p.m. ($395).

111 SW First Ave., Miami; 786-717-7512, www.marionmiami.com

Queen Miami Beach: “Prepare to be enthralled in a world of supreme opulence and glamour” reads the invite to this snazzy nightclub’s black-tie Golden Majesty Ball.

A number of musical and dance performances are on tap until the clock strikes midnight, along with multiple-course tasting menus. Two seatings, at 6 p.m. ($265) and 9 p.m. ($395).

550 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, 786-373-2930; queenmiamibeach.com

OUTDOOR FUN

Big Orange: After a three-year hiatus (COVID and other red tape-y stuff), The Big Orange is back! Tens of thousands will gladly battle the downtown traffic so they can be seen at Miami’s version of Times Square once again. The festivities begin at 6 p.m., culminating in our beloved giant neon orange rising along the side of the InterContinental Hotel.

InterContinental Hotel, 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami; 305-577-1000. Free.

Bayfront Park: FOMO will not be in your vocabulary if you hit up this huge, fireworks-filled bash on the bay featuring a concert that’s a must for any (old and new school) Latin-music lover. Among the stellar names in the mix: Willy Chirino, Arturo Sandoval, Carlos Oliva and Albita, El Funky y mas. Your emcee for the night is local “Love and Hip Hop” reality star Amara La Negra. 8 p.m. to midnight.

Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, bayfrontnye.com. General admission is free. VIP tickets, which get you open bar, champagne toast, private restrooms and prime seating, start at $249 at showclix.com

Pro tip if you don’t want the headache of driving or to forage for parking: Do yourself a favor and pre-order a chauffered car from a rideshare company like Alto, which lets you lock in a rate before the insanity begins.

NYE Live!: Haven’t spent enough quality time at the mall shopping like a crazy person? The Dolphin’s new entertainment complex Vivo! Plaza has got a lot going on for New Year’s Eve. “Gold Level” tickets start at $70 and give guests party swag, along with an open bar from 9 p.m. to the midnight, when there is a champagne toast. Feeling flush? VIP Tables (from four people) start at $140 a head and include a platinum beverage package, carving and appetizer stations and a dedicated server.
