Experience the magic of the holidays on Ocean Drive with a free, family-friendly celebration of music, lights and festive cheer across multiple evenings in December. The Miami Beach Holiday Festival of Lights, presented by the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival (MMF) and led by Artistic Director Michael Rossi, transforms South Beach into a dazzling holiday wonderland.
Held on December 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22 at Lummus Park and The Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive, the festival features three performances each evening at 6:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Audiences of all ages will enjoy special appearances from Santa, the Grinch, and Elsa. A highlight of the event is the groundbreaking projection mapping, where dynamic visuals illuminate the façades of iconic South Beach buildings, synchronized with live classical music performances. On December 14, the evening will also include remarks from city officials, drone shows and VIP seating available on 14th Street across from The Betsy.
