The Great Gatsby Party Miami 2026 will take over The Historic Alfred I. duPont Building on Thursday, December 31, 2026, for an extravagant New Year’s Eve celebration inspired by the glamour and excitement of the Roaring Twenties. Every year, thousands of guests step into the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, and the 2026 event promises another evening filled with spectacular entertainment, elegant costumes, live performances and champagne-worthy memories. Doors open at 10:00 p.m., giving guests the chance to welcome 2027 inside one of Miami’s most iconic historic venues.
For years, The Great Gatsby Party Miami has returned to the duPont Building, transforming its historic ballrooms into an immersive world filled with live performances, dramatic entertainment, elegant fashion and unforgettable moments.
The Great Gatsby Party Miami Returns to the duPont Building
The Great Gatsby Party and The Historic Alfred I. duPont Building have become a natural pairing.
Since its original debut in New York City in 2015, The Great Gatsby Party has entertained thousands of guests across North America with immersive theatre, live music, elaborate production and elevated hospitality. The 2026 celebration will bring the experience to four cities, including Miami.
In Miami, the event has found a fitting home inside the duPont Building. Its authentic Art Deco architecture, marble interiors, ornate ironwork and hand-painted cypress ceilings already capture the elegance of another era. Once the music, performers, lighting and Gatsby-inspired décor are added, the building becomes part of the experience itself.
This is more than a themed party. It is an opportunity to step through the doors of a historic downtown Miami landmark and enter an entirely different world.
What to Expect at The Great Gatsby Party Miami
Every corner of The Great Gatsby Party is designed to surprise guests.
Previous celebrations at the duPont Building have featured towering stilt performers greeting guests, aerialists suspended above the crowd, glamorous showgirls, specialty dancers, theatrical bartenders and DJs keeping the party moving throughout the night.
The official 2026 experience is expected to include live musicians, aerialists, dancers, contortionists, showgirls, stilt walkers, specialty acts and high-energy DJ sets. Guests can dance, explore the transformed venue, enjoy era-inspired beverages and experience entertainment unfolding around them throughout the evening.
The photos from past years tell the story: this is the kind of event where guests arrive ready to participate, not simply watch.
A New Year’s Eve Celebration Worth Dressing Up For
The Great Gatsby Party Miami is also an excuse to go all out.
Guests are encouraged to embrace Roaring Twenties fashion with flapper-inspired dresses, fringe, feathers, sequins, pearls and glamorous headpieces. Tuxedos, three-piece suits, suspenders, bow ties and other Jazz Age-inspired looks are equally appropriate.
The event’s Roaring Twenties dress code is mandatory, so this is not the night for casual clothing. Guests should plan their outfits early and arrive ready to become part of the atmosphere. The Miami event is also restricted to guests ages 21 and older, and valid government-issued identification is required.
Whether your style is classic Gatsby elegance or full flapper glamour, the ornate surroundings of the duPont Building provide plenty of opportunities for memorable New Year’s Eve photos.

Why The Great Gatsby Party Miami Belongs at the duPont Building
The Historic Alfred I. duPont Building does not need to imitate the glamour of the Art Deco era—it is an authentic part of it.
The landmark features a limestone and black granite exterior, bas-relief brass elevator doors, decorative iron grates, marble walls and floors, and intricately painted cypress ceilings. Its ballrooms offer soaring ceilings and expansive open space that can be transformed for immersive entertainment, dancing and large-scale productions.
These architectural details allow the Great Gatsby theme to feel completely at home within the venue. The dramatic lighting, sparkling costumes and live performances complement the building rather than compete with it.
It is one of the reasons this celebration has continued returning to the duPont Building year after year.
