Pack your bags and grab your besties because it's time to head to Miami for a Carnival weekend you’ll never forget! From the moment you land, you’ll feel the infectious energy of the Caribbean as the city buzzes with colorful costumes, pulsating soca beats, and non-stop celebrations. Here's how your epic girls' trip unfolds:

Day 1: Welcome to Miami – Get Ready to Fête!
Kick off your weekend by settling into your stylish Miami Air BNB, soaking up the vibrant city views. Head out to grab some Caribbean-inspired bites like jerk chicken, roti, and doubles at a local hotspot. As the sun sets, it's time to get your carnival weekend started! Dress to impress and hit up your first fête (party). Expect live DJs, Caribbean rhythms, and a contagious party vibe that will have you dancing till dawn.

Day 2: J’Ouvert Morning & Miami Vibes
Wake up early for J’Ouvert! The real carnival vibe begins here, with revelers covered in paint, powder, and mud as they dance at the park in true carnival fashion. After J’Ouvert, recharge with a delicious lunch—think tropical mimosas, plantains, and seafood dishes at a trendy Miami café.

In the afternoon, try some shopping at the local markets and malls or rest after your long day. Later, gear up for our color coordinated dinner as we must do on all trips! The color of the night is brown, and dinner will be at Playa-Miami's Premier Fine Dining Destination. Later that night we will have a mini photoshoot at the Air BNB and rest for the big day.

Day 3: Carnival Day Parade & Caribbean Street Food
Sunday is the main event—the Miami Carnival Parade! Slip into your stunning carnival costumes, complete with feathers, beads, and glitter, and join thousands of revelers as you dance through the streets to live soca bands and steelpan music. Capture Instagram-worthy moments and soak in the excitement as your group celebrates freedom, culture, and friendship. We will jump with One Island Band.

As the day rolls on, feast on authentic Caribbean street food like jerk pork, curry goat, fried plantains, and refreshing coconuts while watching the vibrant parade of masqueraders. To wrap up the weekend, finish off at the concert after we cross the stage and a cool evening fête or wind down with some cocktails at one of Miami’s chic lounges.

Day 4: Farewell Brunch & Beach Bliss
Before heading home, gather for a farewell brunch. Sip on tropical drinks while reminiscing about your weekend adventures, laugh over stories, and plan your next girls' trip. We'll say goodbye to a perfect weekend of Caribbean fun, culture, and non-stop partying.

Miami Carnival is the ultimate girls' getaway filled with laughter, dancing, food, and unforgettable memories!
