Welcome to Amigos Night, the pinnacle of Amigos For Kids' annual event! Formerly known as Miami Celebrity Domino Night, this signature gathering has seen record-breaking attendance in recent years, attracting Miami's crème de la crème, including celebrities, media personalities, political and corporate leaders, and the social elite.
Amigos Night is an evening of local entertainment, restaurants, businesses, and activities that put the spotlight on our hometown: Miami. With a live band, Bacardi’s open bar, curated bites by local dives and hotspots, and games of domino so lively you’d think you were transported to Calle Ocho - it truly is an opportunity to gather and celebrate the people and places that make Amigos For Kids the organization it is.
This year, we are overjoyed to return to The Hangar at Regatta Harbor as our host venue - a breezy and beautiful seaside location offering us both indoor and outdoor spaces to bring you a night to remember. Join us for an unforgettable evening with good music, great food and the best people in Miami!
Thanks to our title sponsor, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and our presenting sponsor, Bacardi USA, guests will be treated to an open bar and tantalizing dinner-by-the-bite at the culinary pavilion. Imagine savoring local flavors crafted by some of Miami's most popular chefs and restaurants. It's an epicurean journey right in the heart of the event.
Get ready for an epic night with live beats from The Clique, a 25+ year facet of Miami entertainment, guaranteeing non-stop energy. Experience our exhilarating Hora Loca - brace yourself for an explosion of color, rhythm, and pure joy as dancers and performers ignite the dance floor. Get swept up in the contagious energy!
Step into the heart of the action at Domino Park, a dedicated space where domino enthusiasts can indulge in friendly matches and showcase their skills. Whether you're a seasoned player or a novice, Domino Park adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the night.
Amigos Night isn't just a party; it's a legacy event with a mission. The funds raised support Amigos For Kids' programs empowering families through after-school enrichment, parent education, and wrap-around support. This event unites supporters, sponsors, and the community to make a significant impact. Join us for a night of celebration, entertainment, and compassion – where every moment counts for a cause!
Amigos Night has reserved seating for our sponsors with secured tables, 6-seat-round tables, but we will also have open seating available through the Domino Park and the Amigos Lounge.
