SocialMiami’s Social Season Preview provides a first look at the exciting events planned for the 2023-2024 social season. Updated weekly, the Social Season Preview will remain on SocialMiami’s homepage throughout the season.

If your event is not listed, send the event date, organization name and event title to graham@socialMiami.com.

Many of the previewed events will appear in SocialMiami’s Gala Guide, the city’s most comprehensive and popular guide to the season.  The first release will be in September 2022, with four other major releases and email blasts throughout the year. Galas in the guide receive photos, details, links to buy tickets and a full page photo spread after the event. Gala chairs are profiled in editorial features throughout the year.
