January 18-20, 2025 - Art Deco Weekend South Beach

Often described as "the best three days on Ocean Drive," Art Deco weekend is visited by about 150,000 people each year and has become one of the nation's largest celebrations of Art Deco architecture. Beginning as a small grassroots festival produced by the Miami Design Preservation League, this free community event has evolved. It now showcases musical performances, fashion shows, walking tours, movie screenings, a lecture series, and antique cars, to name but a few of the activities on offer.
