The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) proudly announces the return of Miami Arts, Culture & Heritage Months. From December 1 to January 31, this two-month celebration invites locals and visitors alike to explore the cultural richness of Greater Miami and Miami Beach through an array of art, food, and music experiences.

The arts and culture scene in Greater Miami & Miami Beach has undergone transformative growth, spurred by the arrival of Art Basel Miami Beach in 2002. Each neighborhood—from the vibrant Miami Design District to the historically rich Opa-locka and the spirited streets of Little Havana—has nurtured unique communities centered around art and cultural heritage. These neighborhoods form the beating heart of the area’s art scene, contributing an impressive $2.1 billion in economic activity and supporting over 31,500 local jobs.

“Greater Miami & Miami Beach stands as a beacon of creativity and self-expression, drawing artists and cultural enthusiasts from around the world year-round,” said David Whitaker, President & CEO of the GMCVB. “With its world-class art galleries, cultural institutions, historic landmarks, and vibrant heritage neighborhoods, our destination has firmly established itself as a global arts and culture capital. Miami Arts, Culture & Heritage Months celebrate the rich stories, enduring traditions, and groundbreaking innovations that define and inspire our community.”
