Art Deco Festival at Miami Beach

Art Deco Festival at Miami Beach - Miami Beach

Each year at the 3rd Weekend in January there is the Art Deco Festival in Miami Beach. This year it was again from the 18^th to the 20^th of January. These days the promenade at the southern part of Miami Beach is celebrating.

The whole area of Ocean Drive between the 5th and 15th Street was blocked to traffic and it was party the whole time. The motto of this year's event was "Anything Goes: Art Deco Taps its Toes".

The chosen theme was homage to the Broadway musicals of the 30 'and 40' years. As a demonstration of that time many old, classic cars were issued on the boulevard. The visitors rarely knew the most models from own life experience but perhaps they knew them from Hollywood productions.

Inside the festival area there were street artists who entertained many visitors with their funs and tricks. There were also many attractions for the children to entertain them. The bands at the promenade played for the dancers who were dancing on the grass at the Ocean Drive. The bands transformed this area especially in the evening hours into one big party place.

Who was not interested in music and dancing had the opportunity to stroll along the many jewelry, fashion and art stalls and spend money or simply sit on the terrace of the restaurants and cafés along the Ocean Drive and watch.
