10 Best New Year’s Eve 2024 Parties in Miami

Is that you, 2024, lurking in the distance?

This past year gave us incredible Florida Panthers and Miami Heat championship runs that fell just short, another year of Art Basel and F1 madness, and, yes, Jeff Bezos as a new neighbor.

It only feels fitting that Miami keeps the party going into the new year in true 305 fashion. Luckily, your New Year's Eve party options span a poolside spectacle with rapper Cardi B at the Fontainebleau to loads of Latin music with Latin Grammy-winner Marlow Rosado at the Calle Ocho favorite Ball & Chain.

With all the New Year's Eve party options, New Times has narrowed them down to the ten best.

24-Karat Celebration at Gulfstream Park

A free New Year's Eve event? Yes, they exist, and this one at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach stands above the rest. The spot's walking ring will be morphed into a gold-clad outdoor party with dancers, a laser show, grub (for purchase), and performances by Entourage and DJ Chris Cruz. If you want to go VIP, you can snag a table and opt for a three-course meal and champagne toast. 9 p.m. Sunday, December 31, at Gulfstream Park Walking Ring, 901 S. Federal Hwy., Hallandale Beach; 954-454-7000; gulfstreampark.com. Admission is free.
