SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ SOUTH BEACH What’s not to love about Eurovision? The an- nual song contest sees European nations compete for the top prize through deliciously campy pop tunes, and since debuting in 1956, it’s perplexed Americans who have no idea what’s going on. This year’s winner was Ukraine, with the song “Stefania,” performed by the folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra. Of course, Eurovision has its fans in America, like EurovisioNYC, the largest fan commu- nity in the New York City area. On Sunday, the group welcomes its EurovisionMIA chap- ter with a Welcome to Eurovision Miami party at gay watering hole Nathan’s Bar, hosted by Dasha Sweetwaters. 7 to 11 p.m. Sunday, at Nathan’s Bar, 1216 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; nathanssobe.com.
