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.

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.

Crowds hit the streets Saturday in cities and towns across the country to vent their anger over President Trump's policies in "No Kings" protests.

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.

“The last time I marched was in 1966 against the Vietnam War,” said Coast Guard veteran Ed, who declined to use his full name because his son works for the U.S. government. He was protesting in downtown Miami dressed in an Uncle Sam costume. “I think we’re in a worse place.”

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.

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.
