Miami’s downtown lit up as global superstar DJ Alesso headlined a massive open-air block party celebrating the grand opening of Miami Worldcenter, the city’s new 27-acre, $6 billion retail, dining, and entertainment hub. Thousands turned out for the high-energy show, which transformed Miami Worldcenter’s streets into a full-sensory experience with fireworks, lasers, CO2 blasts, and live performers.
The evening also featured live performances by Shaggy and country star Lee Greenwood. Greenwood’s rendition of “God Bless the USA” was accompanied by a dramatic Red Bull base jumper stunt from the top of the 60-story Paramount Miami Worldcenter tower. Miami’s own DJ Irie served as MC throughout the night, keeping the crowd hyped between acts.
The free concert, co-hosted by DJ Scotty B, included performances by Flo Rida and Nicky Jam, as well as a fireworks spectacular, laser light show, special effects, confetti storm, and more. Guests could also enjoy food and beverage tastings from immersive street activations hosted by dozens of retail and dining tenants now open at Miami Worldcenter.
Culinary showcases included Maple & Ash, Sixty Vines, Earls Kitchen + Bar, Serafina, Go Greek Yogurt, Sweet Paris Creperie & Cafe, and Starbucks. Additionally, local favorites Juvia, Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express, and El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar provided a further diverse mix of global flavors and formats.
