Open House Miami

Open House Miami (OHMIA), showcasing the architecture and design, of Greater Miami & Miami Beaching, is returning for its second year. Building on the success of its inaugural edition, OHMIA is set to have more-expansive programming including new themes, experiences and immersive encounters at some of the area’s most important buildings and spaces.

“There are no shortages of special places throughout Greater Miami that create an engaging background for stories about our community to be shared and celebrated,” said David Whitaker, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Open House Miami and its focus on design and architecture is the perfect event to complement everything else our destination is known for – from fashion and food to culture and beaches.”

Go Beyond The Scenes At Iconic Miami Locations

OHMIA is spearheaded by the Miami Center for Architecture & Design and will feature local people telling unique stories. Following in the footsteps of last year’s themes, Open House Miami will focus on culture, resilience, building Miami and sports, while adding emphasis on the area’s culture and history.

"We are proud to support the second annual Open House Miami Festival, inviting Miami Beach's visitors and locals to experience the architecture, art and design that continues to make our city stand out as an award-winning destination," said Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority Executive Director Grisette Marcos.

Spanning 20 neighborhoods, OHMIA will include tours of the Kaseya Center, the Museum of Graffiti, The Hip Hop Museum, Istituto Marongoni, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and many more.

Attendees can also expect an array of lectures, workshops and behind-the-scenes access to some of the destination’s most iconic and hidden spaces, like the The Kampong botanical garden in Coconut Grove, and a photo walking tour on Collins Avenue with award-winning artist and graphic designer Laura Paresky Gould. There’ll even be skateboarding tour of South Beach.

All events are free and open to the public, but you should guarantee your spot by reserving in advance.
