This special issue of Wire Magazine previews the 26th edition Winter Party Festival (WPF) returning to Miami with the theme "With Open Arms." We sat down with Festival Chair Rene Wolfensberger to learn more about this year's Winter Party Festival. With some many great WPF parties and DJs, we decided to interview DJs Joe Pacheco and Sharon O Love to preview the Ignite and Heat parties, and learn more about their backgrounds and musical styles. Our conversations and their backgrounds are very interesting, so we highly recommend reading our chat with both of them. This special issue also includes our annual Winter Party Festival Events & Parties Guide with all the official events and parties of the 26th edition Winter Party Festival, so you can make the most of your festival experience. Last but not least, Wire Magazine sat down with Equality Florida Miami development officer Jonathan Barrio to discuss Equality Florida's advocacy efforts and how they are improving our everyday lives.
