One of Miami’s most highly anticipated parties, Amigos Night, manages to outdo itself every year and this year was no exception. On Saturday, October 18, The Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Coconut Grove was completely transformed for what can best be described as the party of the season.

The space shimmered with sequined tables, soft candlelight, and a sea of chic guests dressed to the nines. From the moment we arrived, the mood was pure celebration — laughter, dancing, and that signature Miami magic in the air. The open bar, courtesy of Bacardi USA, flowed freely all night long, keeping glasses full and spirits higher.

A stellar showcase of Miami’s top restaurants provided an eclectic selection of bites to suit every taste. But truth be told- it was tough to leave the dance floor long enough to grab a bite- because the music was THAT good! From the second Extasy hit the stage, it was over — the dance floor never emptied. The band was perfection, playing one crowd-pleaser after another until well after 1 a.m. A conga line snaked across the room on more than one occasion and friends, old and new, danced and sang with sheer joy.

Just when we were about to take a short break- around midnight, an explosion of confetti filled the air and showgirls took over the dance floor for the Hora Loca: pure, high-octane fun fueled by feathers, confetti, and wild energy!

Earlier in the evening, Karina Pavone, President & CEO of Amigos For Kids and Jorge A. Plasencia, Co-Founder & Chairman Emeritus, shared heartfelt thanks, reminding guests that every donation helps to strengthen families and protect children across Miami-Dade. Amigos Night was both a celebration and a statement — proof that Miami’s heart beats strongest when it’s dancing for a cause.

If there’s one party we look forward to all year, it’s Amigos Night—the city’s most electric, feel-good bash that proves philanthropy and fun can absolutely share a dance floor. On Saturday, October 18, The Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Coconut Grove will transform into a whirlwind of lights, music, and Miami magic as Amigos For Kids hosts its signature fundraiser to support children and families across the city. This can’t miss event features an A-list crowd, red-carpet welcome, irresistible bites from Miami’s top restaurants, handcrafted cocktails flowing courtesy of Bacardi USA, and music that makes dancing shoes de rigueur.

As the evening unfolds, guests will enjoy traditions like “Domino Park” that bring an unmistakable hometown flair, while surprise shout-outs and heartfelt moments celebrate the community leaders who make it all possible. When Miami’s high-energy band Extasy hits the stage the dance floor erupts into motion, culminating in a wild hora loca.

Amigos Night is a party—but it’s also a worthy effort. Every ticket, every toast, every dance step fuels Amigos For Kids’ mission to provide after-school programs, parent education, and wraparound support for families in need.
