Downtown Miami is set to come alive with vibrant colors, music and all-around entertainment thanks to the Adrienne Arsht Center’s seventh annual CommuniTEA Dance. On Sunday, June 9th, everyone young, old and in between are welcome to this free event that encompasses what Pride Month is really all about: honoring and celebrating your local LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
From 4 to 8 p.m., guests are encouraged to explore the event’s Pride Marketplace, which spotlights local LGBTQ+ and ally organizations, artisans, creatives and small businesses. The event will be hosted directly on Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House stage, and food and drink specials provided by Constellation Culinary will also be available for purchase.
Alex Newell, a Tony Award-winning, Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, actor and activist, will hit the stage for a rainbow-filled blowout. Immediately following her electrifying performance, the event will transform into a glow-in-the-dark dance party featuring Miami’s own DJ Musicat, who will get you moving on the dance floor, and drag performances by the incredible Ebonee Excell and Melissa Plastic Hilton.
June is about to arrive, so if you’re on the lookout for Pride Month activities to partake in this year, now’s your chance! CommuniTEA Dance will be held at the Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center, located on 1300 Biscayne Boulevard. It starts at 4 p.m. and will run all the way through 8 p.m.
Admission is free with RSVP on their website. Attendees are encouraged to dance and illuminate the stage, so wear your brightest and most neon attire to literally glow with pride!
Later in the month, on June 18-23, the Arsht will welcome Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon Les Misérables. The epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history, with songs including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home” and “One Day More.” Learn more and find all the upcoming Broadway musicals headed to Miami here.
