About
The annual Art Deco Weekend Festival, which traditionally takes place in January, is the organization's primary educational and cultural event, which celebrates and promotes the history and architectural heritage of Miami Beach. The festival includes an array of educational exhibits, a film and lecture series, music and street entertainment, guided architectural tours, a classic car show, and many vendors offering antiques, deco-inspired art, vintage merchandise, and crafts. This festival serves as the conduit to promote our mission and showcase the collection of over 1,000 buildings of the same architectural style and educate the public on the importance of preservation and protection. MDPL is the steward of the Art Deco Historic District, the first urban 20th-century architecture registered in the National Register of Historic Places.
