How to help Venezuela: Miami benefit concerts and events

In the wake of the recent earthquake in Venezuela, communities across Miami are coming together to support those affected by the crisis.

For many Venezuelans in Miami, the devastation hits especially close to home. Families, friends, and loved ones remain in a country that has already endured years of hardship, political instability, and limited access to essential resources. Now, as communities in Venezuela work to recover from the earthquake, local artists, venues, and organizers are stepping up to raise funds, collect supplies, and offer support.

Here are several upcoming Miami events helping raise money and supplies for Venezuelan earthquake relief.

Un Nuevo Sol 48 Hour warehouse rave

Beginning June 27 and lasting until June 29, Un Nuevo Sol is hosting a 48-hour warehouse rave in support of Venezuelan earthquake relief. The marathon fundraiser will feature 28 selectors, DJs, and producers performing across two days, with donations being collected throughout the event. Organizers are accepting diapers, non-perishable foods, and monetary donations to help support relief efforts in Venezuela. The lineup is set to include 1-800-305, El Gato, Seron & Body, Proletar, Stereocat, Trippie Hippie, and more. Un Nuevo Sol Warehouse rave, 2651 NW 36th Street in Miami.

Venezuela Estoy Aqui at James L. Knight Center

A larger benefit concert for Venezuela is also being organized for July 21 at the James L. Knight Center. The event, titled Venezuela Estoy Aqui, is presented by arpi Live, with additional details and an official lineup still to be announced.

According to organizers, the concert has been endorsed by the City of Miami, Bal Harbour, Doral, and the City of Aventura. The mission behind the event is to bring together artists, community leaders, businesses, and organizations to raise funds for those affected by the recent tragedy in Venezuela.

“Unidos Por Venezuela was born with a clear purpose: to bring our community together through music to provide hope and support to those who need it,” organizers shared in a statement. “We believe music has the power to unite, inspire, and make a real impact.”

Organizers say every ticket, sponsor, and collaboration will directly contribute to humanitarian efforts. James L. Knight Center, 400 SE 2nd Ave, Miami; jlkc.com.
