Miami Beach Holiday Festival of Lights returns to South Beach Dec. 13–22, letting family travelers enjoy live musical performances, festive characters, snow and projection-mapping displays to celebrate the holidays.
Lighting and captivating visuals will take over The Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive, turning the property into an interactive exhibit of imagery and sound. During this production, every surface becomes a living canvas as projections play off the hotel’s various shapes and textures in unison with the rhythm of the music. Performances take place over two weekends:
