Club Space Open Air at 73 West Flagler Street
Club Space is also taking its weekend outside, to an open air site next to the downtown courthouse at 73 W Flagler St, Miami, FL 33130. Adam Port plays Saturday, December 5 from 5pm to midnight, with tickets from $40, and GOLFOS plays Sunday, December 6 from 5pm to midnight, from $75. Both are 18+, which makes them the easiest Club Space events for under 21 visitors, and the early start leaves time for the Terrace afterward (open air tickets, get directions).
Factory Basel 2026 at Factory Town
The biggest lineup of the week is at Factory Town, the seven acre former mattress factory at 4800 NW 37th Ave, Hialeah, FL 33142.

It is ticketed. Faena’s Art Week program runs December 1 to 6 (Faena tickets, get directions).
1 800 Lucky
For a Wynwood stop between gallery walks, 1 800 Lucky at 143 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127 is an Asian food hall with DJs seven nights a week. Its own schedule lists Oscar G and Lazzaro Casanova playing house and afro house on Fridays and house and techno on Sundays, home of the Humans Alike Sunday party. Discotech lists Humans Alike x Basel Miami 2026 for Sunday, December 6 at 6pm, 21+. It suits groups who want a party without a $40 ticket. For more of the neighborhood, read our Wynwood after dark guide (weekly events, get directions).
Planning Your Night
Buy early. The Space Basel Pass, Prophecy and Saturday at Factory Basel had already sold out by early November, and Club Space sells only through DICE, with returned tickets going to the DICE waiting list at face value. Bring a physical ID; Club Space does not accept photos of IDs. Traffic on the causeways is heavy all week, so do not plan on hopping from Faena to downtown to Hialeah in one night. Rideshare prices surge after midnight and again at sunrise when the Terrace and Factory Town empty out; Factory Town has no parking and warns about fake parking attendants nearby. Pair a beach or Wynwood evening with one club. If you are new to the scene, our guides to the best clubs in Miami and Miami clubs by music help you pick a room.
