Home to some of the world’s most notable annual events including Art Basel, SOBE Wine and Food Festival, and Miami Swim Week, South Beach will now be home to the next milestone marquee event with FTX Off The Grid. Bringing motorsport fans, friends, collaborators, and culture seekers across music, sports, fashion, technology, and hospitality together in one space, the event will take place at 10th Street and the beachfront, directly on the sands of South Beach, just beyond the iconic, pastel-hued Art Deco buildings lining Ocean Drive. Complementing the natural vibrancy and beauty of Miami Beach, FTX Off The Grid will transform over 165,000 square feet of oceanfront space into an ‘Electric Beach’ themed entertainment venue, that captures both the style of the city and the innovative nature of the blockchain ecosystem and FTX.
Guests can anticipate three exciting days of multilayered activations, showcasing first-class entertainment, high-profile performances and surprise celebrity appearances; local cuisine and beverages; The IWC Big Pilot Exhibition; NFT art galleries and creation stations; a locally inspired fashion show; Mercedes-AMG car displays; dedicated Star Atlas Video Gaming Lounge that features both the best of gaming’s past and previews of its future, and so much more. There will also be an exclusive VIP hospitality space, coined the FTX Beach Club, which will be used for VIP entertainment and meet and greets.
On Saturday and Sunday, a Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 car will take to Ocean Drive for a high-energy spectacle that will have Miami Beach revved up for an incredible race weekend experience. Delivering constant energy to the event, local DJs will keep the crowd moving during the day as they explore everything FTX Off The Grid has to offer. As darkness falls on the beach, the stage will transition into a three-night ticketed concert series called ‘Sunset on the Sand’ produced by David Sinopoli, in conjunction with III Points and Club Space, with special performances from Disclosure, Kaytranada, and Jamie XX. @FTX_Official
