The Underline has become a popular spot in the Brickell area.
Open House Miami (OHMIA) returns for its second annual celebration, set to showcase Greater Miami from Feb. 28 to Mar. 2, by highlighting its architectural connectivity.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, OHMIA 2025 promises a more expansive program with new themes, experiences and immersive encounters designed to engage the community and visitors in the spirit of Greater Miami’s architectural and cultural legacy.
Once again spearheaded by the Miami Center for Architecture and Design (MCAD) in collaboration with the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA), Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and a network of dedicated local partners, OHMIA 2025 invites the public to explore Miami-Dade County’s unique stories, spaces and design.
This year’s festival – open free and to the public – will offer over 100 curated experiences across more than 20 neighborhoods, supported by 100-plus partners. Attendees can expect an expanded array of tours, lectures, workshops and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to some of Greater Miami’s most iconic and hidden spaces.

“There are no shortages of special places throughout Greater Miami that create an engaging background for stories about our community to be shared and celebrated,” said David Whitaker, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
“Open House Miami and its focus on design and architecture is the perfect event to complement everything else our destination is known for – from fashion and food to culture and beaches.”
The festival will continue to explore popular themes from last year, such as Culture, Resilience, Building Miami, and Sports, while also introducing new focal points that celebrate Miami’s culture and history.
Highlights will include exclusive tours of the Kaseya Center; Museum of Graffiti; HipHop Museum; Istituto Marongoni; Frost Museum of Science; a Photo Walking Tour on Collins Avenue with Laura Paresky Gould, award-winning artist and graphic designer; a Skateboard Tour, as well as deep dives into Miami’s transformative neighborhoods and opportunities to engage with the city’s leading designers, artists, and tastemakers.
One of the new featured experiences will invite visitors to The Kampong of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, designed by Miami-based architect Max Strang, a location that is rarely open to the public.

“We are proud to support the second annual Open House Miami Festival, inviting Miami Beach’s visitors and locals to experience the architecture, art and design that continues to make our city stand out as an award-winning destination,” said Grisette Marcos, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority executive director. “The hand-picked selection of interactive events, tours and discussions featuring expert personalities and talent will inspire attendees and showcase the artistic fabric of Miami Beach and the surrounding area. Travelers can start planning their trip to experience Open House Miami with assistance from our dedicated EXP Miami Beach Tours App.” The EXP Miami Beach Tours App is available on Apple and Google platforms.
Open House Miami was established in 2024, making Greater Miami the fourth U.S. destination, alongside New York, San Diego and Chicago, to join the global Open House Worldwide network. This movement celebrates architecture, design and urbanism by creating opportunities for citizens to engage with and appreciate their city’s-built environment in a way that’s transparent, inclusive and community-focused.
