Where to celebrate or lick the wounds of the 2024 campaigns

Candidates and campaigns work for months, sometimes years, to achieve the ultimate goal: Election Night victory. So when Election Day finally arrives, those who had a hand in the physically and mentally grueling process have something to look forward to.

Whether celebrating victory or admitting defeat, candidates and those working to get them elected, as well as campaigns for various ballot initiatives, have different ways of celebrating the end of the war. Some will gather privately with friends and family. Others host large parties complete with high-profile miniatures. Many meet at local bars, restaurants and clubs, where like-minded individuals can gather to toast to the hard-fought campaign, win or lose.

This year’s Presidential Election cycle faces a very loaded ticket in Florida. Statewide, there are not only down-ballot races for President and U.S. Senate, but also a host of constitutional amendments, from formal protections of hunting and fishing to enshrining abortion protections and legalizing marijuana for adult recreational use.

Florida Politics reporters have spent the last few days scouring social media and talking to candidates and their campaigns to compile a comprehensive list of where these parties will be celebrating Election Night.
