Fort Lauderdale's circuit runs out of Wilton Manors, one of the gayest square miles in America — and it barely takes a night off. The Eagle anchors it with a near-weekly rotation of themed dance parties (LIBERATE, PHEROMONE, DANCEFLOOR DADDY, DARK CIRCUIT), while The Manor Complex goes big for nights like Viva Brazil and the Ramrod keeps it raw with Pig Dance. There's no single marquee weekend to plan around here — the scene is the calendar. Base yourself on Wilton Drive and you can walk from the pre-game to the afterhours.
