The vibes are set to be lit as West Fest ‘25 officially kicks off with a celebration that sets the tone for a week of Bull pride and community unity. Going down Thursday, June 26, 2025, the Official West Fest Kickoff Celebration will be held at Gulfstream Kings Room in Hallandale Beach from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Headlining the night is Miami’s own DJ Nasty 305, bringing the heat with that signature 305 flavor. Hosting and performing is the one and only Tatianna aka DJ Slush, making sure the crowd is hype and the party doesn’t miss a beat.
This year’s kickoff party is doing it big with live entertainment, good vibes, and a chance to flex your singing skills for a $500 bag in the karaoke contest. Entry is just $20, and for those wanting their own section, tables are available by contacting JROC at 786-597-6323. The energy is expected to be unmatched as Bulls from all over come out to reconnect, party, and set the tone for the rest of the weekend.
