About Miami Beach Bandshell

The Miami Beach Bandshell is an open-air performance venue at 7275 Collins Avenue in North Beach, designed in 1961 by architect Norman Giller and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022. It is a landmark of MiMo (mid-century Miami Modern) architecture, and the large canopy over the stage shelters the crowd from sun and rain.

The Rhythm Foundation has managed it for the City of Miami Beach since 2015, programming more than 140 public concerts, festivals and special events a year across reggae, jazz, Latin, electronic, world music, comedy, film and contemporary dance. The fall 2026 calendar runs from John Scofield to a Bomba y Plena festival, Buena Vista Orchestra and a Thanksgiving roller disco.

Many events are ticketed, while others are free with an RSVP, including the monthly North Beach Social series. A full bar serves cocktails and craft beer, and most shows also have the Bandshell Cafe with fresh-baked pizza.

The setting is intimate, the ocean breeze is part of the show, and the beach is a short walk away.
