For two months, this exclusive Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau program shines a light on a broad range of entertainment options that make it one of the world’s most enticing destinations
Beginning this October, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) will introduce
the latest addition to the Miami Temptations program, Miami Entertainment Months. Designed to highlight the range of cultural, sports, arts and entertainment events in Miami and its surrounding area, this two-month promotion, which is available from October 1 to November 30, 2019, will give visitors and locals alike exclusive promotions to a variety of events and activities in every corner of Greater Miami and the Beaches. From Downtown Miami’s Miami Heat games, to the Miami Smooth Jazz Festival in South Dade, Miami Entertainment Months has something for everyone across the destination.
“Greater Miami and its diverse neighborhoods offer a wide range of entertainment options for locals and visitors alike,” said GMCVB President and CEO William D. Talbert, III, CDME. “Adding the perfect complement to our year-round warm weather, beautiful beaches and thriving arts scene, we’re proud to inaugurate Miami Entertainment Months – offering two months of concentrated programming and value-added entertainment options throughout different genres and venues in Greater Miami and
the Beaches.”
Kicking off Miami Entertainment Months, one such event, the 9th-Annual Celebrate ORGULLO Festival, is a two-week celebration of South Florida’s Hispanic LGBTQ community. Running from October 1 to October 15, 2019, and taking place at venues all over Miami, this festival centers around art and fashion, and explores these mediums as a measure of self-expression and identity in South Florida’s queer culture. Attendees can expect everything from fashion shows and galas, to drag performances, movie nights, forums, parties and more. Making it even more special, all proceeds from this one-of-a-kind event will benefit Unity Coalition, which offers year-round programming and services for the Latinx/Hispanic, trans, people of color, youth, and underrepresented communities in and around South Florida. For additional information guests are encouraged to visit celebrateorgullo.com.
Take a journey through Jungle Island by night and celebrate the one-of-a-kind Luminosa Chinese Lantern Festival, one of Entertainment Months most anticipated nightlife events that’s offered to the public October 5 – January 8. Featuring 13-acres of life-sized authentic lanterns crafted with a Magic City twist, guests are invited to enjoy a lush jungle illuminated with breath-taking displays, complete with delicious food, craft cocktails and an unforgettable nighttime vibe.
