Dreamland, the immersive LGBTQ+ art, music, and wellness festival known by some as the “Queer Coachella” returns to Miami Beach this New Year’s Weekend. And you can party knowing it is all for a good cause as Dreamland will give back to the community with a fundraiser for Femme House’s new LGBTQ+ Scholarship Program at Oasis Wynwood. EqualPride is the official media sponsor of Dreamland.
Dreamland in Miami Beach runs from December 29 to January 2 with musical performances by Purple Disco Machine, Sofi Tukker, and the Las Vegas stage spectacular turned global sensation created and directed by Channing Tatum, MAGIC MIKE LIVE. Also joining in the festivities will be some of the biggest DJ talent from around the world including Horse Meat Disco, Coco & Breezy, J Worra, and more.
“We’re going to ignite your senses and imagination,” says event producer Jake Resnicow.
The weekend kicks off with the Dreamland Gives Back party, a fundraiser for Femme House, the non-profit organization that fosters opportunities for women and gender-expansive individuals in the technical and behind-the-scenes areas of music. Dreamland Gives Back will take place Thursday, December 29 at 6 p.m. at the Oasis Wynwood. Grammy-Nominated Sofi Tukker and LP Giobbi will host a Meet & Greet and an Immersive Sunset Experience in collaboration with Equinox, soundtracked by a once-in-a-lifetime live LP Giobbi set.
“Less than one percent of charting artists are LGBTQIA+,” Resnicow says of why he chose Femme House as the evening’s benefactor. “Together, we will change this with a new scholarship program in honor of my dear friend DJ Theresa, a young artist who rose through the ranks to become one of the top female DJs in the USA until her life was tragically taken away in the Surfside building collapse.”
The Saturday night main event will feature a live performance by the cast of MAGIC MIKE LIVE: The Tour. On Sunday, Horse Meat Disco will join Grammy-nominated Purple Disco Machine for an all-day marathon event at The Oasis Wynwood.
Dreamland will also feature complimentary wellness programs, local and international gastronomic gatherings, visual art installations, large-scale art pieces, interactive exhibitions, and much more.
