Remember the illuminated parades of years past? Vizcaya has partnered with Miami artist Sebastian Duncan-Portuondo to reinvent this annual Vizcaya tradition, bringing you all the magic with social distancing in mind. Welcome to Spectral Vizcaya!

SPECTRAL VIZCAYA

Apparitions repopulate Vizcaya for a festive night of phantom memories that return for a winter party. Illuminations on the house, throughout the garden and in the bay bring to life the history of Vizcaya as visions of light. Guests are invited to dress in their roaring 20s attire and meet the spirits of Vizcaya for this one-night-only event!

THE SHOW

During ​Spectral Vizcaya​, the museum’s exterior spaces host sculptures, projections, and performances that visualize the estate history through character sketches. An illuminated gondola floats in Biscayne Bay, James Deering’s nieces perch in the gardens, and a team of smugglers infiltrate the grounds. Meanwhile, projections on the house and in a garden theater create colorful images that retell stories from the early days. Stained glass, analog projection machines, LEDs, and holiday lights create a luminous atmosphere for the audience to explore. Visitors become a part of the show as their shadows meld with projections, and children carry lanterns along the path.

*All events and workshops are designed with health and safety regulations in mind. Please bring your mask and look out for more details to come.

THE ATTIRE

The evening was envisioned as a roaring 1920s soiree. Visitors are encouraged to dust off their flapper dresses and newspaper caps and get dandy for the night.

To help get everyone in the mood, we will be giving away three (3) memberships to the best dressed of the night. Staff will be walking around to select winners.

In addition, an extra winner will be selected from Instagram, so make sure to use #SpectralVizcaya and @vizcaya_museum when you post.
