Carbone Beach, the highly anticipated annual VIP dinner party on the sands of Miami celebrating the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, is known for its exclusivity and elite guest list. Major Food Group co-founder Jeff Zalaznick has maintained the event’s intimate nature by keeping the guest list limited to only 400 attendees per seating over the course of four nights. With a starting entry fee of $3,000 per head, the event has become a symbol of luxury and sophistication in the social calendar.
Over the years, Carbone Beach has attracted a star-studded crowd, with past attendees including sports icons like LeBron James, Serena and Venus Williams, and David Beckham, as well as business moguls such as Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. While Zalaznick remains tight-lipped about this year’s guest list for privacy reasons, he promises that the lineup will be just as impressive as previous years. The allure of the event lies not only in its glamour but also in the element of surprise, especially when it comes to the entertainment portion of the night.
One of the highlights of Carbone Beach is the surprise entertainment that awaits partygoers. Zalaznick hints at the presence of “really big names” to grace the stage, emphasizing that the event is not about selling tickets based on the performers but rather on providing an unforgettable experience for the guests. Previous acts have included music legends like Diana Ross, Andrea Bocelli, and Wyclef Jean, adding to the allure of the evening.
To maintain the exclusivity of the event, the organizers have put stringent security measures in place to ensure that only invited guests are in attendance. Zalaznick humorously refers to the event as the “Fort Knox of parties,” highlighting the seriousness with which they approach the safety and privacy of the attendees. With a reputation for being highly exclusive and carefully curated, Carbone Beach has become a coveted experience for those seeking luxury and sophistication.
Scheduled to take place from May 2 to 5, American Express Presents Carbone Beach will mark the third installment of this extravagant affair. Tickets and tables for the event can be reserved on the official Carbone Beach website, adding to the anticipation surrounding what promises to be a night to remember in the world of high society and exclusive events.
