About this Event
Your Friday night just found its place.
Vizcaya Summer Fridays is a series of five extended evening experiences at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens — one of Miami's most iconic historic estates on the shores of Biscayne Bay. On select Fridays this summer, the gardens stay open until 8:00 p.m. and the Main House until 7:30 p.m., giving you the rare opportunity to explore this breathtaking property as the sun sets and the city lights begin to rise behind the iconic Stone Barge on the bay.
No program to follow. No schedule to keep. Just Vizcaya at its most relaxed and most beautiful.
Each evening includes:
- Rotating DJ sets setting a cool, social tone throughout the estate
- A live artist demonstration — watch a local artist create in real time
- Light bites and drinks for purchase from local vendors
- Full access to the gardens and Main House through closing

Expect something that sounds exactly right as the sun goes down over the bay.

FAQ
Is this a separate event from daytime admission? Yes. This evening-only ticket grants entry beginning at 5:00 p.m.
If you'd like to visit during the day as well, purchase standard daytime admission at vizcaya.org AND it includes the evening extension and is the better value if you plan to arrive before 5:00 p.m.
What time does the museum close? On regular days, Vizcaya closes at 4:30 p.m. Summer Fridays extend those hours — Main House until 7:30 p.m. and gardens until 8:00 p.m.
Can I purchase tickets at the door? Walk-up admission is welcome while available. We recommend purchasing in advance to guarantee entry.
Is the programming the same each night? No — DJ sets, artists, and vendors rotate across all five dates. Each evening is distinct.
Is parking available? Limited parking is available on-site for free in the East side lot as well as Vizcaya Village. Street parking is available along S. Miami Ave. The museum is also accessible via Metrorail (Coconut Grove Station) and rideshare.
