DDMIAMI 2026, the flagship December event for the Doginal Dogs community, runs Dec. 7 to 9 across three Miami venues, and tickets and merchandise packages have already sold out, according to the organizers. The agenda pairs a new creator studio with the first DDL Miami Championship and a closing night on the water.

Doginal Dogs is a collection of 10,000 pixel dogs inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain, and its events have become a core part of the brand. DDNYC drew record attendance in September. Miami is billed as the most ambitious one yet.

What Is on the DDMIAMI Schedule?

Day one opens at Higher Ground at Arlo Hotel with the Swag Drop and Welcome Party from 10 AM to 5 PM. A ticketed VIP Dinner follows at 7 PM, and the Kick-Off runs on the Arlo rooftop from 8 PM to 11 PM.

Day two is the centerpiece. Rip & Sip runs at Collectors Club from 11 AM to 3 PM and doubles as the DDL Miami Championship. A second VIP Dinner starts at 7 PM, then guests board The Vessel for Dogs at Sea, with boarding from 7 PM and the voyage running 8 PM to midnight.

Day three closes things out with the Hangover Hangout at Higher Ground from 9 AM to noon.

What Is Dog Pod?

Dog Pod is the new format this year. It debuts at the Welcome Party as an in-person production studio where creators can shoot and publish content on site. For a community that lives on X Spaces, clips and memes, a studio in the room is a natural fit.

How Does the DDL Miami Championship Work?

Doginal Dogs Legends, the brand’s trading card game, crowns its first official champion on Dec. 8. Registered players compete in an online round-robin the week before, and the top 16 advance to the in-person final at Collectors Club, according to the official @DDLTCG account.

The prizes come from the game itself. First place earns an Ultra Rare Gary promo card, a rare Doginal Dog and 10 booster boxes. Second place takes a Gary promo and five boxes, and third place takes five boxes. Rise of the Pack, the set in play, has 111 hand-drawn cards.

Why These Venues?

Each venue matches a part of the brand. Arlo Hotel anchors the three days. Collectors Club is a Wynwood trading card venue with an on-site AGS grading lab, a fitting home for a card championship. The Vessel is a floating event space of about 4,000 square feet on Biscayne Bay that opened in 2025.

The program follows a self-funded run of events in New York, Las Vegas, Miami and Toronto. Christian Barker, known as Bark and Barkmeta, called Miami “our most ambitious event yet” in the Oct. 23 announcement.
