Select Days
Multiple event times
A holiday showcase of orchestral music and large-scale projection art transforms Ocean Drive as the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival presents its annual Holiday Festival of Lights. The outdoor program features a full symphony orchestra, festive character appearances and projection-mapping displays that animate the façades of Lummus Park and The Betsy Hotel with color, movement, and seasonal imagery.
Each evening includes two performances in which lighting, visuals, and live music synchronize across the architecture of South Beach, creating an immersive experience for audiences of all ages. Santa, the Grinch and Elsa make surprise appearances throughout the night, adding a playful, family-friendly element to the spectacle.
A special Holiday Extravaganza takes place on December 13, when the festival joins the City of Miami Beach for a combined program featuring the Festival of Lights and a spectacular drone show visible from Lummus Park.
