Folklore & Foliage

As darkness falls, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden will transform into a place for the curious and unconventional—a space where forgotten histories come to light, strange ideas take root, and the boundary between the natural and the otherworldly begins to blur.

Join us for this FREE evening where weird is welcomed—art is reimagined, stories are shared, and magic meets creativity.

  • Wander the Garden at night and explore dark art, oddities, and unexpected treasures from participating artisan vendors.

  • “Old Florida” ghost stories from author Thomas Smith, author of The Ghosts of the Florida Atlantic Coast, presented by renowned indie bookstore, Books & Books.

  • Live music by Bruno Esposito of Lone Wolf One Man Band.

  • A site-specific spooky shadow puppet performance by local artist Christina Pettersson.

  • Projected vintage Halloween and haunted South Florida news stories footage courtesy of Miami Dade College’s Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives.

  • Astrology and tarot readings by Aída the Energy Witch.

  • Personalized poetry by The Biscayne Poet.

  • MBBG's spooky Boo-tanical Bar, food, and more!

This event is free to attend.
