New Year's Day Celebration

An early-evening concert on the sand brings orchestral music, vocal performances and family-friendly programming to the start of the new year in Miami Beach.

The City of Miami Beach New Year’s Day Celebration takes place on Thursday, January 1 at Lummus Park near 12th Street and Ocean Drive, featuring musicians from the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival Orchestra along with singers from the MMF Youth Program and Alumni division. The program includes traditional New Year’s selections such as Viennese waltzes, as well as zarzuela and Broadway highlights conducted by Artistic Director Michael Rossi.

Presented as part of Miami Beach OnStage!, the event is free and open to the public with the performance staged directly on the sand. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or beach chairs.
