With 2024 on the horizon, you are probably already recit- ing the mantra “New year, new me!” But before that, you’ve got to celebrate by saying goodbye to 2023 and welcoming ev- erything the new year has in store for you. Luckily, Miami knows how to party, and New Year’s Eve is when it rolls out the red carpet for the biggest events of the year. Once again, the Fontainebleau hosts a massive poolside bash with rapper Cardi B; meanwhile, her currently off-again significant other, Offset, will perform at the on- site nightclub, LIV. Party promoter Jake Resnicow also brings back his queer end-of- the-year party, Dreamland NYE. Taking place December 28-31, Dreamland features various events around town with Purple Disco Machine, Anabel Englund, Kaleena Zanders, and Trixie Mattel. Other notable fetes include We Belong Here’s celebration at the Alfred I. duPont Building with Calussa, Kimonos, Nitefreak, and Night Tales, and New York party promoters Club Rudy’s and Rose Gold’s takeover of the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel with Ian Asher. If you want to ring in 2024 with something more explosive, Bayfront Park will host the City of Miami’s New Year’s Eve celebration, complete with fireworks over Biscayne Bay. Over at the Biltmore Hotel, you can enjoy a festive gala in the ballroom with a fireworks display over the golf course to cap off the night. You can also savor all the possibilities the new year holds at some of the city’s best restaurants, including Elcielo, Cote, MaryGold's Noma Beach, and Uchi. Whatever way you choose to celebrate, New Times wishes you a happy and healthy new year. Cheers to 2024!
