One event that's been gaining rapidly in popularity each year is Sizzle Miami, a five-day event held over Memorial Day Weekend and catering to gay men of color.

So successful has Sizzle become, in fact, that a concurrent women's circuit event, Sizzle Her, was developed a few years ago and now takes place during four days over Memorial Day Weekend. Like Sizzle Miami, Sizzle Her is geared toward lesbians of color, although everybody - regardless of race - is welcome to attend either event.

And each event has its own host hotel (the Hyatt Regency Miami for Sizzle, and the Hilton Miami Downtown for Sizzle Her.
