Aqua Girl

You would think that as gay-friendly a town as Miami is that we would have rampant lesbian clubs and bars throughout. And yet it seems that while we've got some long-standing establishments for the gay men in the Magic City, there is very little for the ladies who love ladies. This is why we've got to, at the very least, include info on Aqua Girl, the biggest lesbian party in Miami. It only happens once a year (sadly!) but when it does, it's like every queer girl in the 305 comes out for it (no pun intended). 2016's Aqua Girl festivities were hosted at the Raleigh Hotel, but the thing about Aqua Girl is it basically takes over all of South Beach so you'll find plenty of events from pool parties, brunches, and comedy shows to truly epic all-women dance parties in various venues. Best part (as if this all weren't good enough already) is that 100% of the proceeds of the Aqua Girl parties go toward the Aqua Foundation for Women, an organization that works to promote the equality and visibility of LGBTQ women. Hopefully someday Aqua Girl will become a year-round thing. We'll keep our fingers crossed for now.
