You can visit more than 100 Miami landmarks for free next month

Miami loves a velvet rope, but for one long weekend this winter, it’s dropping it.

Open House Miami will return February 27 through March 1, 2026, unlocking more than 100 free experiences across Miami and Miami Beach. For three days, residents and visitors can slip inside iconic buildings, cultural landmarks, design studios and behind-the-scenes spaces that are usually off-limits—or at least not free. It’s Miami’s biggest architectural open secret, briefly made public.

Now in its third year, Open House Miami is part of the global Open House Worldwide network, which spans more than 60 cities. Locally, that means rare access across more than 20 neighborhoods, from Miami Beach to Coconut Grove to Wynwood. The lineup includes crowd-pleasers like Art Deco walking tours, Wynwood Walls explorations and behind-the-scenes museum visits along with newer, slightly unexpected offerings, including bike tours, workshops and even a virtual reality preview of some of the future developments reshaping the city’s skyline.

Many of the most recognizable cultural institutions are in on the action. Festival-goers can snag free ticketed admission to spots like Pérez Art Museum Miami, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Freedom Tower, The Bass, The Wolfsonian, the Rubell Museum, Superblue and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, all with no membership required.

Architecture nerds will want to bookmark the talks and tours led by big-name designers, including Max Strang, Kobi Karp and Arquitectonica, while families can expect an expanded slate of kid-friendly programming like sip and paint sessions, including one at the Kimpton Surfcomber, where participants will watercolor the hotel’s Art Deco façade.

Tickets for individual experiences went live on Tuesday, January 27, and are first-come, first-served. The festival itself is completely free, though space is limited and popular tours tend to fill up quickly.
