If you aren't a member of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens it's worth it just to be part of the yearly Holiday Evening at Vizcaya, an old-fashioned celebration honoring the inauguration of the grand estate. This family-friendly event takes place on Wednesday, December 19, from 6 to 9 pm.
Enjoy a trip back in time and enjoy Vizcaya decorated for the holidays, as it would have been in the time of its founder James Deering, who came to the estate on Christmas day, 1916
Enjoy live music, hot chocolate and wreath-making as you take pleasure in the beauty of the illuminated estate as seen at night-a rare treat that available to the public only a few times per year.
Tickets are $15 for Vizcaya Members. Children under age 5 get in for free. This is a ticketed event and tends to sell out each year, so guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets online in advance. Only members are part of this event, so membership is required. Purchase membership here.
Built between 1914 and 1922, Vizcaya is one of the most intact remaining examples from this era in United States history, when the nation's most successful entrepreneurs built lavish estates inspired by the stately homes of Europe.
Vizcaya features a Main House, 10 acres of formal gardens, a rockland hammock (native forest), mangrove shore, the Vizcaya Café and Shop presented by A Joy Wallace Catering, Design and Special Events, and a historic village that will be restored for additional venues for programs and community outreach.
Located at 3251 South Miami Avenue, between Brickell Avenue and Coconut Grove, Vizcaya is open daily from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm except Tuesdays, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. For more information, visit www.vizcaya.org.
