A Grand Theft Auto VI-themed festival is coming to Miami this November to "celebrate the launch" of the game, according to its developers, Rockstar Games.
The festival, scheduled to take place on Nov. 21 at Mana Wynwood, will be presented "in partnership with PlayStation and produced by the creators of III Points." It'll feature performances by artists including Cardi B, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso and Metro Boomin, with a full list of those involved available via Rockstar Games.
Attendees must be "17+ to attend" the event. Rideshare is "strongly encouraged" for the event, according to Rockstar, as there is no parking on-site, and designated drop off points will be "set around the perimeter of the festival grounds."

How to get tickets to Miami's GTA VI festival
Getting a ticket requires entering a lottery, according to Rockstar Games, which closes on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET. There is a maximum of one entry per person, and winners will be "drawn at random" from "eligible entries" and contacted by SMS with a code by 7 p.m. on Nov. 10. There is no charge to enter the lottery, though tickets are currently listed as costing $60 on the DICE app.
The codes will "unlock the opportunity" to buy tickets on Nov. 11 at 12 p.m., but do not guarantee tickets. Codes are "one-time use," and can't be sold or traded.
Additionally, each purchaser can buy up to two tickets. Lottery entrants should create DICE accounts immediately after they sign up, using "the exact same email address and phone number for both [their] lottery entry and DICE account," according to Rockstar Games.
Where will the GTA 6 festival take place?
Mana Wynwood is located at 318 NW 23rd St. in Miami.
When does GTA VI come out?
According to Rockstar Games, GTA VI will be released on Nov. 19.
Miami-Dade struck marketing agreement with GTA VI developers
Miami-Dade County officials announced a $3.9 million Grand Theft Auto VI marketing and advertising package, with theming to pop up at various locations throughout the area.
The "arrangements" include an agreement with Rockstar Games, the developers of Grand Theft Auto VI, according to a press release by the county. Also included were "separate advertising purchases through media companies that manage advertising space at Miami International Airport (MIA) and across the County’s transportation system."
Planned installations include "themed lighting at MIA and PortMiami, promotional displays on pedestrian walkways ... and decorative wraps on selected traffic signal cabinets throughout the County."
GTA VI, scheduled for a November release, is set in the imaginary Vice City, which is heavily inspired by Miami. The agreed-upon marketing won't be the first to appear in the area — Miami-Dade County officials previously met with "representatives" of Rockstar Games and entered into an agreement to install a sign reading "Welcome to Vice City" on the roof of the Kaseya Center.
The Kaseya Center sign is part of an earlier "$975,000 arrangement" that is "included in the $3.9 million package."
