Miami Art Deco Weekend

Miami Beach, FL

Miami Beach's Art Deco district dives back into the era of pastel design for the Art Deco Weekend. Celebrate the fantastic architecture of the 1920s and 1930s with everything from jazz to classic cars and a celebratory procession.

The whole weekend is a tribute to the area's architecture and the period from which it grew. Auctions offer the opportunity to purchase memorabilia and collectable items salvaged from recent renovation. You can even discover the significance of what you are buying through a series of lectures and talks.

An afternoon procession snakes through the old centre. Jazz is replaced by R&B, reggae and even the lambada as more than 500,000 people swap their collecting for celebrating.
