Miami Art Week's after-dark itinerary does not fit inside one neighbourhood. December 1–6, 2026 brings announced parties to Little River Studios, Watson Island Park, Hialeah Park Casino and Factory Town, with Club Space opening its Basel run downtown. The useful guide is not the longest list of names. It is the one that separates confirmed bookings from a rumour passed around at dinner.
This edit includes only events and performers listed by organisers, venues or their ticketing partners at the time of publication. It covers the parties around the fair, rather than the exhibition schedule in the Art Basel Miami Beach preview. All Miami event times below are ET.
Tuesday, December 1: start downtown
Club Space's own listing names Prophecy as the opening night of Space Basel on Tuesday, December 1. Doors open at 11 PM, and the Terrace event is 21+ at 34 NE 11th Street.
The venue page does not name performers, so no headliner belongs on this entry yet. It also prohibits professional cameras, flash photography and videography of any kind. Plan for the room, not a filming session.
December 2–6: Factory Town's five-night route
Factory Basel spans December 2–6, with all five stages in play. Factory Town's announced daily lists include Franky Rizardo and Franky Rizardo B2B The Martinez Brothers on Wednesday, December 2; Diplo B2B BLOND:ISH, Carlita and Ben Sterling on Thursday, December 3; and Solomun, Chris Lake, Avalon Emerson and Palms Trax on Friday, December 4.
Saturday's list includes Dixon, PAWSA, Prospa, Rampa and Seth Troxler. Sunday brings Paco Osuna, LP Giobbi, Bastian Bux B2B Eats Everything and salute B2B TEED, among others. These are daily bills, not a running order or confirmed set times.
Factory Basel opens at 10 PM each night. The venue lists closing at 6 AM for Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, and 7 AM for Friday and Saturday. General admission is 18+. There is no on-site parking, according to its event FAQ, making the journey home part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Thursday, December 3: Francis Mercier at Little River
Francis Mercier Presents Solèy takes over Little River Studios, 300 NE 71st Street, on Thursday, December 3, from 8 PM to 3 AM. The official DICE listing confirms Francis Mercier, Damian Lazarus, Joezi B2B Sparrow (CH), and Avo B2B GUDFELLA.
unKommon Events and Authentic Live present the 21+ event. It is a specific stop in Little River, not the Watson Island show the following day. Keeping those venues straight matters when deciding where to spend the evening.
Friday, December 4: ANOTR and Rampa on Watson Island
Framework's event page confirms ANOTR and Rampa at Watson Island Park, 1050 MacArthur Causeway, on Friday, December 4. Framework partners with unKommon Events for its Miami debut, which Billboard reports will use a never-before-used venue at Watson Island Park.
The DICE collection separately lists Bedouin Presents SAGA at Little River Studios that Friday, with WhoMadeWho (Hybrid DJ Set), Notre Dame and Nandu joining Bedouin. These are separate events, not two stages on one ticket.
Saturday, December 5: One Life, then a choice of late nights
Michael Bibi's One Life brings III Points' Basel programming to The Racetrack at Hialeah Park Casino on Saturday, December 5. DICE confirms Michael Bibi, Four Tet, Ben Sterling, Silvie Loto, KinAhau and Natalia Roth, with doors at 5 PM. General admission is 18+, and VIP is 21+.
Every ticket includes a $3 donation to Baptist Health Cancer Care to support pediatric cancer patients and families through treatment, according to the same listing. Readers should check their current ticket for the finish time and arrival instructions rather than assume that every Basel show runs until sunrise.
Also on Saturday, the unKommon collection confirms Adriatique B2B Cloonee at Watson Island Park. Factory Basel continues the same night. There is no need to pretend all three fit comfortably into one evening.
How to choose the week
Pick one anchor event for each night before adding a second stop. A Little River ticket does not grant access to Watson Island, and a Factory Basel pass does not cover III Points' racetrack show. Leave space for travel between districts, carry the physical identification required by each venue and check entry conditions directly before departure.
The strongest Art Week itinerary has room to stay when the music gets good. An announced lineup is a starting point, not a requirement to collect every dancefloor in Miami.
