As part of Toyota’s Summertime Remixed series we take you to some of the biggest events in Miami, Florida. Whether you want to rub elbows with the biggest names in entertainment or enjoy a more intimate lounge experience we’ve got you covered.
Once a year in South Beach everything is Irie. DJ Irie that is. Every June the official mix master of the NBA’s World Champion Miami Heat sends out the Bat signal to his celebrity friends to attend his DJ Irie Weekend Celebrity Golf Tournament to play a few holes and raise funds for local charities.
“We’re here making this happen for the 8th year in a row and someway somehow it keeps getting bigger and better,” says Irie.
With almost a decade of fundraising DJ Irie’s Celebrity Golf Tournament was even more elaborate a than ever. The festivities kicked off with a private party at private residence on Star Island that featured flame jugglers, a Carnival theme and lots and lots of libations.
The following day guests hit the Melreese Country Club to cruise the course, take in the beats and knock around a few balls. Notable attendees included The Miami Heat’s Alonzo Mourning, NFL star Jonathan Vilma and Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes.
