Miami Music Week 2026 Pool Party Guide

Miami Music Week 2026 runs March 23–29 and brings the world's biggest DJs to South Beach for seven days of non-stop music. While Ultra Music Festival dominates the nights, the MMW pool parties are where the real daytime magic happens — think label showcases from Defected, Toolroom, Spinnin' Records, and Drumcode hosted at the most iconic pools in Miami Beach.

How to Plan Your MMW Pool Party Schedule

Pool parties run from approximately 12 PM to 6 PM daily, Thursday through Sunday. Wednesday is typically reserved for industry events and intimate warm-up sets. The best strategy: pick one pool party per day, grab your tickets early, and save your energy for the nightclub afterparties. Most venues are within walking distance or a short ride on Collins Avenue in South Beach.

What to Wear to a Miami Music Week Pool Party

Read our pool party dress code guide for venue-specific planning. The dress code at MMW pool parties is resort-chic meets festival. For women: swimsuits, coverups, and stylish sandals. For men: swim trunks and a clean look (no basketball shorts or athletic wear). Most venues require swimwear poolside and allow coverups at the bar. Skip the jeans, boots, and anything you wouldn't wear to a five-star hotel pool. Sunscreen is non-negotiable — you're outdoors for 6+ hours.
