Experience the Orange Blossom Classic Like Never Before with Visit Black Travel's Girls' Getaway Weekend

Every Labor Day Weekend, thousands of HBCU alumni, students, and football fans descend on South Florida for one of the nation's most celebrated Black college football traditions—the Orange Blossom Classic. But for many visitors, the weekend is about much more than the game. It's a reunion, a cultural celebration, and an opportunity to reconnect with the rich history that helped shape Black Miami.

This year, Visit Black Travel invites women to experience Orange Blossom Classic Weekend through a thoughtfully curated Girls' Getaway that combines boutique accommodations, premium game-day experiences, exclusive social events, and an authentic introduction to Historic Overtown—the neighborhood that has long served as the cultural heart of Orange Blossom Classic weekend.

Long before today's kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium, the Orange Blossom Classic became one of the premier showcases of Black college football at Miami's legendary Orange Bowl Stadium. Located just west of Historic Overtown, the stadium welcomed generations of HBCU fans, while Overtown itself became the neighborhood where visitors gathered to stay, dine, worship, celebrate, and experience the best of Black Miami.

During segregation, Overtown was one of the few places where Black travelers could find welcoming accommodations, restaurants, entertainment, and community. The neighborhood became synonymous with Orange Blossom Classic weekend, creating traditions that extended well beyond the football field.

Today, Historic Overtown remains one of Miami's most significant cultural districts. By staying at Dunns Josephine Hotel, a boutique property in the heart of the neighborhood, guests experience the Orange Blossom Classic from the place where so much of its history unfolded.

Rather than simply bundling hotel rooms and game tickets, Visit Black Travel has created a premium weekend designed for friends who want to experience Black Miami together.

Guests may choose packages designed for two, three, or four travelers, with every getaway including:

Guests can also personalize their experience with premium upgrades, including luxury airport transportation, private game-day transportation, guided cultural tours, professional group photography, and other curated enhancements designed to make the weekend effortless from arrival to departure.

After checking into Dunns Josephine Hotel, guests can spend the afternoon discovering Historic Overtown's vibrant arts scene, Black-owned restaurants, public art, and cultural landmarks at their own pace.

Those looking to explore beyond downtown Miami may choose an optional guided excursion to Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, one of the nation's most important historically Black beaches and a treasured symbol of resilience, recreation, and community.

The evening is yours to relax, connect with friends, and enjoy the best of Black Miami before the weekend festivities begin.

From 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., guests will enjoy the South Florida Chapter of SCSUNAA Presents The Yard Miami Day Party, one of Orange Blossom Classic Weekend's signature social events.

Your exclusive Skip & Sip VIP Package includes:

This outdoor event takes place rain or shine and offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate with fellow HBCU alumni, fans, and friends before game day.

The remainder of the evening is yours to continue enjoying Miami's restaurants, nightlife, and Labor Day Weekend festivities.

Game day begins with Orange Blossom Classic Fan Fest before heading to Hard Rock Stadium for one of the most anticipated HBCU football games of the year.

Guests will enjoy Club Level seating and may choose to sit on either the FAMU side or the South Carolina State side of the stadium, subject to ticket availability.

Whether you're cheering for the Rattlers or the Bulldogs, you'll experience the pageantry, marching bands, traditions, and unmatched energy that have made the Orange Blossom Classic a beloved Labor Day Weekend tradition for generations.

Enjoy a leisurely morning before checking out of Dunns Josephine Hotel and departing with unforgettable memories of a weekend that celebrated friendship, Black history, and one of college football's most enduring traditions.
