Sold-Out Gala Breaks Records
MIAMI – Sold out for the third year in row, the Vizcaya Ball welcomed 350 guests on Saturday, November 18, 2023. Aligned with an age of unparalleled glamour, the 66th Annual Vizcaya Ball raised funds for the continued preservation of this National Historic Landmark.
Guests arrived at the cascade entrance dressed in black tie attire, mirroring icons of the silver screen in line with Old Hollywood theme. The cocktail reception took place in the Main House courtyard, as the space filled the sounds of Jeffrey Grainger and Orchestra, along with Beltro Entertainment.
The evening continued along Vizcaya’s waterfront terrace, as led by NBC 6 anchor Roxanne Vargas, who returns as Mistress of Ceremonies. Patrons moved outdoors for a seated dinner under the stars, prepared by Theirry Catering and Event Design. Following a performance by New Century Dance Company, guests hit the dance floor to the beats of the Valerie Tyson Band.

SOBRE EL MUSEO Y JARDINES DE VIZCAYA
El Museo y Jardines de Vizcaya es un Monumento Histórico Nacional que preserva sus recursos culturales y medioambientales para que la gente conecte con el pasado, comprenda el presente y forje el futuro. Construida entre 1914 y 1922 como residencia de invierno del fabricante agrícola James Deering, Vizcaya es uno de los ejemplos más intactos que quedan de esta época en Estados Unidos, cuando las fincas construidas por los empresarios de más éxito del país se inspiraban en las casas señoriales de Europa. Vizcaya cuenta con una Casa Principal repleta de una colección de arte decorativo, 10 acres de jardines formales, una hamaca rocosa (bosque autóctono), una orilla de manglares y una villa histórica que se está restaurando para contar la historia completa de Vizcaya y proporcionar espacios adicionales para programas y actividades de divulgación comunitaria, incluidos los de agricultura. Vizcaya ha sido un centro comunitario desde su apertura al público en 1953; recibe 300.000 visitantes al año.
Located on Biscayne Bay at 3251 South Miami Avenue, Vizcaya is open Thursday through Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. For more information, visit www.vizcaya.org, connect via social media, or call 305-250-9133.
