Activities for all ages

This year’s Holiday Village goes beyond just shopping; it’s a celebration of Miami’s vibrant community. Attendees can enjoy a range of family-friendly activities, including an outdoor ice-skating rink, perfect for creating a wintery vibe even in Miami’s subtropical climate. Santa Claus will be making special appearances, offering families the chance to snap holiday photos and create lasting memories.

Sundays will feature community activities, such as toy drives, bounce houses, face painting, and more, ensuring that little ones have plenty to enjoy while adults can relax, shop, and soak in the holiday cheer. The Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has truly gone above and beyond to create a festive environment that reflects the spirit and energy of the Magic City.

Giving back to the community

In the spirit of giving, the Miami DDA is hosting a toy drive to benefit children served by the Chapman Partnership. From November 17th to December 8th, attendees are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to the Olympia Theater entrance from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. This initiative ensures that Miami’s children in need can experience the joy of the holiday season, reminding us all of the power of community and generosity.

The perfect spot for vendors

For vendors, the Downtown Miami Holiday Village presents an incredible opportunity to showcase their work in front of a lively, engaged audience. The vendor fee is $150 per event, with a provided tent and weights for set-up, making it easier than ever to participate. The event’s organizers are looking for unique offerings from both local and global brands to create an unforgettable shopping experience. First-time vendors are encouraged to read the Vendor Terms & Conditions before applying, and product samples or social media links should be included with applications. Those without social media can email images to howdy@magiccityflea.com or send a DM to @magiccityflea.
