Although Miami-Dade nightclubs and bars still can’t open because of the coronavirus pandemic, a party promoter has been holding massive parties at a location near Homestead, violating guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Last week, an Instagram account for a promoter called House of Love advertised a “Secret Playa Gathering,” directing interested parties to a webpage where they were prompted to enter a code. Entering the code unlocked the location for a birthday party for Dolev Berkovitch, whose Instagram account identifies him as “Producer of @houseoflove_mia.”
A listing to buy tickets to the party was also available on an event sales website, which advertised ticket prices as between $45 and $99.
Last Friday night, the Burning Man-themed party attracted about 400 people, most of whom were not wearing facemasks, practicing social-distancing, or following CDC guidance while they danced long past the 11 p.m. countywide curfew, according to a police report from the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD).
