During the festival's multi-day cultural entertainment experience and vacation, guests will partake in unforgettable nightlife experiences, energetic go-go, hip-hop and R&amp;B musical performances, hilarious standup comedy, upscale pool party experiences, vibrant art activations, VIP yacht experiences, and the kind of Miami Beach magic that leaves guests cherishing community and embracing Black excellence.

Now in its 18th year, The Miami Takeover is known for curating unique beachside getaway vacations and cultural entertainment events that deliver energetic experiences. “Thousands of guests from across the country will come together this summer to connect and enjoy four days of music, culture, comedy, and connection. Thanks to our official hotel partner, during the month of May, we have curated exclusive hotel stay packages at the Marseille Beachfront Hotel, making a tropical summer beach getaway experience more accessible. As one of the region’s leading scenic art deco hotel destinations positioned in the center of Miami Beach, guests can book their Marseille Beachfront Hotel and will be able to relax, shop, eat, party and mingle all within a vibrant, walkable five-block radius,” said Vincent Peden, Partner at The Miami Takeover LLC.

The Miami Takeover will blend energetic culture, immersive arts, unforgettable nightlife experiences, and community impact to create a vibrant beachside four-day weekend experience that only Miami Beach could offer.
