The iconic supper club on the sand returns for its fifth year as Miami Race Week’s most anticipated dining and entertainment experience
MIAMI, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — American Express and Major Food Group (MFG), the hospitality powerhouse led by Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi, are proud to announce the fifth edition of Amex x CARBONE BEACH. The iconic three-night “Supper Club on the Sand” returns during the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX Friday through Sunday, May 1–3, 2026. The event is one of the weekend’s most anticipated dining and entertainment experiences, once again transforming the Miami shoreline into an unparalleled destination.
Over the past five years, Amex x CARBONE BEACH has become a highly sought after dining experience during the Miami Grand Prix™ weekend, where world-class dining, show-stopping entertainment, and the city’s vibrant nightlife collide. Each evening begins with an elegant oceanfront cocktail hour¹, setting the stage for a meticulously curated multi-course dinner by Chef Mario Carbone featuring CARBONE’s signature specialties. As the night unfolds, surprise performances and unforgettable moments continue the tradition that has defined CARBONE BEACH since its debut.
Tickets will be available to American Express Platinum Card® Members March 3rd, and the event will be open to all Card Members March 4th, while supplies last. All tickets must be purchased with an American Express® Card.² Individual tickets will be available, via Resy, and a minimum of 8 tickets is required for a personal table and you can book up to 14 tickets on Resy. Anyone interested in purchasing more tickets must visit CarboneBeach.com for more information. Terms apply.
“Reaching this milestone anniversary affirms what we’ve believed from the beginning: CARBONE BEACH is a defining Miami tradition,” said Jeff Zalaznick, Co-Founder of Major Food Group. “Over the past five years, we’ve never approached it as something to maintain- only something to elevate. Raising the bar isn’t an ambition; it’s the standard, and at this point, the question isn’t whether we’ll surpass last year, but how we’ll elevate the experience yet again.”
“As we begin our first year as the Official Payments Partner of FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX, we’re proud to deepen our presence in a city and at an event that means so much to our Card Members,” said Bess Spaeth, Executive Vice President of Global Brand Management & Experiences at American Express. “Experiences like Amex x CARBONE BEACH perfectly reflect the exceptional access we’re committed to delivering.”
Miami continues to be one of the most dynamic dining and hospitality destinations in the U.S. In fact, it was one of the leading destinations for hotel bookings through Amex Travel in 2025. Throughout the city, eligible American Express® Card Members can enjoy benefits and perks across some of Miami’s luxury hotels and resorts and sports and entertainment experiences at Hard Rock Stadium.
With locations in New York, Miami, London, Dubai, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Dallas, Riyadh, and Doha, CARBONE has earned international acclaim as one of the premier Italian dining destinations globally. CARBONE Miami continues to be a coveted spot for locals and visitors alike, and reservations are available through Resy.
