Open House Miami (OHMIA) returns for its third year February 27–March 1, 2026, offering an unprecedented look at Miami Beach’s and the Greater Miami’s architecture, culture, and community. After welcoming thousands of visitors from South Florida, across the U.S., and around the globe, OHMIA 2026 will feature more than 100 experiences across over 20 neighborhoods, immersing guests in the creativity, design, and spirit that define the region. The festival is free and open to the public, making it accessible to all. Tickets to experiences will be available to secure, on a first come, first serve basis on January 27, 2026 at noon E.T. at 2026 Events | Open House Miami.
Presented as part of the global Open House Worldwide network, OHMIA invites residents and visitors alike to explore iconic hotels, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems through walking tours, lectures, workshops, bike tours, and neighborhood immersions, all led by architects, artists, historians, and cultural leaders. Highlights include Art Deco tours on Miami Beach, Wynwood Walls, the Commodore Trail in Coconut Grove, and The ReefLine, now installed off the shores of Miami Beach. New for 2026, a virtual reality experience will offer an inside look at architectural renderings and upcoming developments, providing a glimpse into Miami’s evolving skyline and future design innovations.
“Returning for its third year, Open House Miami Festival continues to highlight the passion and respect visitors and locals have for Miami Beach’s signature architecture and design,” said Grisette Marcos, Executive Director of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority. “Our local experts will take center stage to showcase Miami Beach as an internationally recognized destination for culture and iconic style. We’re proud to continue supporting this marquee event and invite travelers to begin planning their Open House Miami 2026 experiences through the complimentary EXP Miami Beach Tours App, available now for download.”
Renowned architects and designers — including Max Strang, Kobi Karp, and Arquitectonica — return to contribute to this year’s programming. Family-friendly offerings will continue to expand, along with additional activities designed to engage younger audiences. The festival’s speaker series also grows to address timely topics such as development, sustainability, innovation, preservation, urban planning, and adaptive reuse, coinciding with centennial celebrations taking place across many Miami neighborhoods in 2026 and beyond.
