Winter Party ticket/pass purchases will appear on your credit card statement as “THE TASK FORCE“. The Winter Party Festival is a fundraiser produced by, and in support of, the National LGBTQ Task Force, The Task Force and Winter Party are one and the same. Please do not dispute these charges or your tickets/passes will be voided.
There are two ways you can gain entry to a Winter Party event, either with an individual event ticket, or a multi-event pass.
Slip the loose wristband over your right wrist. Hold onto the ends of the wristband fabric and slide the closure toward your wrist to tighten the wristband. Do NOT over-tighten the wristband. We recommend leaving one index finger of space between your wrist and the wristband for comfort and security. The closure slides one-way and cannot be loosened once the wristband is fitted to your wrist. Treat your wristband like cash. It will not be replaced if lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Your wristband is VOID if tampered with or removed. Each wristband is good for entrance by one person and is non-transferable. Once you put it on, DO NOT REMOVE or attempt to loosen your wristband! The wristbands are waterproof and can be worn in the shower, pool, or ocean. Do not subject your wristband to any heat, cutting, excessive twisting, pulling, and stretching or customization. Lost wristbands will NOT be replaced, so be sure to put it on tight! Do NOT remove your wristband between days, or stretch or tamper with your wristband in any way. If your wristband appears to be tampered with, you will not be allowed entry. Subsequent and/or multiple presentations of a counterfeit wristband are VOID and will be confiscated by security. If your wristband is removed by Festival security/event staff for any reason, it WILL NOT be replaced.
We realize that some of our out-of-town guests may arrive in Miami Beach after the Welcome Center closes. Pass purchasers can still gain admission to that night’s dance event. When you arrive at the venue, just go to Will Call where your name will be on the list. You will need to show identification to receive admission to the event, and you will need to go to the Welcome Center the next day to pick up your pass. Since using your pass is a much quicker entry into the venue, we encourage you to pick up your pass at the Welcome Center prior to the event if at all possible. REMINDER: there will be no Will Call for individual ticket purchasers at each event. You MUST bring your ticket (printed or mobile version) with you for admission to the event.
We do not offer coupons or discount codes, including group and/or host codes. Our early-bird and advance discount prices are available for a limited time or until quantities sell out. We recommend purchasing your tickets or passes sooner rather than later as prices will increase closer to the festival.
At Heat (Friday night), Under One Sun Pool Party, and both Masterbeat events (Saturday and Sunday nights), a VIP ticket includes priority entry and access to our VIP area with VIP cash bar.
At the Beach Party, a VIP ticket includes a full open bar. This includes cocktails, soda/mixers, bottled water, energy/sports drinks at no additional charge for the entire event.
Ticket upgrades can be purchased at the entrance to the event, while supplies last. Upon arrival at the event, check at the cashier table for the status of upgrades.
Winter Party Festival is a fundraiser benefiting the National LGBTQ Task Force and many local LGBTQ organizations. Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued – no exceptions. We understand that situations arise, but we are unable to issue refunds. Tickets and passes can be gifted or sold to friends or others at your discretion.
Lost passes (wristbands) cannot be replaced; if available, you may be able to purchase a replacement or individual tickets to any remaining events.
For an alternate person to pick up your order, the person picking up must provide a copy of the original purchasers ID, a copy (front and back) of the original purchaser’s credit card, a copy of the original purchaser’s receipt, and a note authorizing the alternate person to pick up the order, with nothing blacked out on any of those copies. This alternate pick up requirement is part of our standard policy to prevent fraudulent pickups.

Lockers will not be available at the Under One Sun Party this year.
With the exception of Cabana Club at the Beach Party, there will not be bag / coat check services at any event. Club security will not allow large bags through the door at any nighttime event; please do not bring large bags to the club or you could be denied entry. At the Beach Party, mobile lockers will be available to guests that would like to lock up their items during the event. Lockers come in a variety of sizes and include in/out privileges throughout the event.
Each year, we need to recruit up to 500 volunteers to help our events run smoothly. What a great way to meet new people and give back! We have flexible shifts and even offer free entry to the Beach Party for all volunteers that work at least two shifts and free entry to Ignite (on Thursday) for anyone who volunteers for any Winter Party shift.Visit winterparty.com/volunteer to sign up.
Volunteers who work two or more shifts will receive free entry to our world-famous Beach Party. Or if you volunteer for the full day at the Beach Party, you’ll get free access to our Sunday night party. For more information on volunteering and to register, visit winterparty.com/volunteer.
