The main Miami gathering takes place downtown from 10 am to 1 pm at the Torch of Friendship outside Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Boulevard), a familiar stage for past protests that have drawn thousands of sign-waving locals under the palms. Nearby Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and West Palm Beach will also see companion events throughout the day.

President Donald Trump’s administration is at the center of growing unrest as “No Kings” protests spread across South Florida, part of a nationwide movement organizers say is meant to defend democracy and push back against authoritarian overreach.

Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, and what organizers call his authoritarian policies, millions of people gathered in communities across the U.S. for “No Kings” demonstrations.

Big crowds of protesters are expected Saturday in thousands of places around the U.S. in opposition to what some are characterizing as increasingly authoritarian practices by President Donald Trump.

Here is everything you need to know about Saturday’s No Kings Protest in Downtown Miami. Protesters will demonstrate in downtown Miami on Saturday, October 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The protest will take place at the Torch of Friendship outside Bayfront Park at 301 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, 33132.

Miami’s “No Kings” protest had an Uncle Sam, a tribute to Portland’s inflatable frog costumes and lots of homemade signs bashing the Trump administration for a host of issues.

Walk away from the agitator,” organizers told the crowd using megaphones. “Please do not engage with any outside agitators.”

As the chants of “No Kings” echoed through downtown Miami on Saturday, former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was livestreaming from the middle of the crowd. Miami’s second “No Kings” protest drew an estimated 4,000 attendees, according to organizers.

Floridians massed throughout the state Saturday for the second national No Kings day demonstrations against the increasingly authoritarian second Trump administration, marked as it is by aggressive immigration enforcement and prosecutions of the president’s enemies.

In June, millions of activists across the U.S. gathered for “No Kings” protests in all 50 states, in what was called a “nationwide day of defiance.” Their message? The United States doesn’t have kings – and people need to remind the current administration that public officials hold office to serve the public and not themselves.
