Miami, FL – August 17, 2025 – Sundays in Miami got a fresh new vibe with the launch of the Pop-Up Bacara Pool Club at The Gates Hotel. Curated by CC Waknine, the event brought back the spirit of South Beach’s legendary pool parties—blending music, cocktails, and community in an elevated yet laid-back setting, with notable guests including Helder Lopez. Guests enjoyed eclectic DJ sets, refreshing spritzes, and a stylish poolside atmosphere that felt equal parts celebration and reset.

Designed as a space for locals, creatives, and visitors to connect, Bacara quickly redefined Sundays on Collins Avenue, proving that poolside culture in Miami is alive, evolving, and more vibrant than ever.
