Miami Music Week Madness: The 2025 Playbook

If you’re heading to Miami Music Week (MMW), prepare for a nonstop marathon of house, techno, and everything in between. Taking over Miami from March 25-30, MMW is the biggest week of the year for dance music diehards, with day-to-night parties at clubs, pools, rooftops, and secret locations across the city. It’s that time of year when you wish you could clone yourself just to be in two places at once.

You’ll have to pick and choose your battles, but no matter where you end up in the 305, it’s always special. Moments like these remind you why there’s no place in the world like Miami—and how is it that this Earth is 4.54 billion years old, yet we’re lucky enough to exist at the same time as Miami Music Week?

The week builds up to Ultra Music Festival, but the real magic lies in the events leading up to and surrounding it—six-acre raves at Factory Town, crisp sunrise mimosas on the Terrace at Space Miami, intimate sessions at Floyd Miami, and boat parties that never seem to dock.
