Art Deco Weekend 2015: Your Guide to Timeless Celebration

Jan 06, 2015 January 06, 2015

Relive the passion of the past with three whole days dedicated to the Annual Art Deco Weekend festivities and get acquainted with vintage Miami. With more than 80 events scheduled from the 16th -18th of January 2015, you can look forward to guided tours, musical performances, art exhibits, films, street theater, lectures, artists, parades, antique auto displays, merchandise vendors and a host of culinary offerings to give you a taste of the 20s, 30s and 40s.

What began as a movement by the Miami Design Preservation League to save a plethora of neglected Art Deco buildings and hotels in South Beach, has now turned into a must-see for locals and tourists alike. Bound to be grander than ever; the Art Deco Weekend of 2015 comes celebrating 100 years of history, architecture and people, as it is a featured event of the Miami Beach Centennial Celebrations.

This year’s weekend will feature the same gorgeous backdrop as the 1st Art Deco. Like every year, this January too Ocean Drive will be closed to traffic to accommodate over 140 vendors. Family-friendly with ample space to savor every aspect of the event, Lummus Park and Ocean Drive will come lined with vintage and handmade paintings, sculptures, posters, photography, jewelry and much more, with street entertainment and classic cars to keep that adrenaline going.

So, go ahead and pull out your top hats/extravagant wigs and join this Miami-style soiree, complete with drag queens, stilt walkers and a quintessentially happy vibe.
