About Art Deco Weekend:
The Art Deco Festival was started in 1976 by the Miami Design Preservation League to attract visitors to Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District and to raise awareness and appreciation of the arts and culture of the Art Deco era (approx. 1925-1945).
The founders of Miami Design Preservation League wanted to create a festival that would attract people to Ocean Drive in order to bring attention to the gorgeous Art Deco buildings that live there. Now, millions have come to the district and Miami Beach enjoys some of the best preservation laws in the country. MDPL will host the 36th Art Deco Weekend with the same beautiful backdrop as the first Art Deco Weekend.
Art Deco Weekend draws close to 300,000 people for the three-day event (in the middle of January each year), and features more than 85 events, including guided tours, fashion shows, lecture series, film series, parade, music, antique vendors, food vendors, parties, 3D mapping presentations, art exhibits, street entertainment, children's entertainment, and more.
