Vizcaya Summer Fridays | DJs, live art + sunsets
AT 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
This summer, select Fridays bring extended evening hours — explore the Main House and bayfront gardens until 8 p.m., included with your $20 general admission.
Enjoy extended access to the Main House until 7:30 p.m. and the gardens until 8:00 p.m. Arrive in the morning, spend the afternoon, and stay to watch the sun set over Biscayne Bay. No extra ticket. No additional charge.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
- Rotating DJ Sets | A curated soundtrack keeping the evening easy and social throughout the grounds. A different DJ each date — no two evenings sound the same.
- Live Artist Demonstrations | A working artist on the grounds, creating in real time. Stop, watch, and connect with the creative process in one of Miami’s most inspiring settings.
- Bites & Drinks | Light bites and beverages available for purchase from local vendors. Because a drink in hand and the bay at your back is exactly what a Friday should feel like.

FAQ
Is the extended evening included in my regular admission? Yes. Your $20 general admission ticket covers your full visit, including the extended Summer Fridays evening hours. No additional ticket or upgrade is required.
What if I just want to after hours and not during the day?
There’s an “evening-only access” ticket option for $15 that does not include daytime admission and grants to access to the campus starting at 5:00 p.m. on select Fridays. For just $5 more, the daytime admission option is hard to beat, if you’re able to also visit during the day.
Do I need to buy tickets in advance? Advance purchase is recommended, especially for daytime arrival. Walk-up admission is welcome while available on each Summer Friday.
Is there a different lineup each week? Yes — DJs, artists, and food and beverage vendors rotate across all five dates. Each evening is a distinct experience.
Are children welcome? Absolutely. Regular children’s admission pricing applies. Children 5 and under are always free.
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.
Is parking available? Limited on-site parking is available for free. Street parking is also available along S. Miami Ave. Vizcaya is accessible via Metrorail (Coconut Grove Station) and rideshare.
To promote inclusion for all, Vizcaya ensures that all community programs, after-hour and weekend events for locals, feature activities that are physically accessible to all visitors. While not all areas of the estate are wheelchair accessible, community programs are purposefully located in areas without stairs or that can be accessed via a ramp.
