The Vizcayans hosted their 27th annual Halloween Sundowner, the premier Halloween Party in Miami and highly anticipated annual fundraiser benefiting Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Guests enjoyed complimentary liquor, wine and beer, canapés, dancing under the stars to a live band and a DJ, costumes watching and the thrill of Vizcaya after dark. There was also a costume contest judged by reps from Miami New Times, Yelp and Brickell Magazine, and awards for an array of categories.

Unlike any other South Florida Halloween party, the Halloween Sundowner’s unique location at Vizcaya serves as the perfect spot for a spooky soiree! In an unparalleled fashion, the property is entirely transformed into a veritable haunted house including Vizcaya’s enormous outdoor veranda overlooking Biscayne Bay where the naughty and nice inevitably mingle while enjoying tasty libations until late into the night.

A special thanks goes out to the sponsors that include Brickell/Key Biscayne Magazine, Absolut, Malibu Rum, Chivas Regal, Dos Equis XX, Thierry’s Catering and Car2Go. Guests arriving in a Car2Go were able to park in a Free Preferred Parking Zone, the closest parking spots to the party.

The Vizcayans mission is to assist the Museum and Miami-Dade County in addressing the complex and costly needs of Vizcaya through its advocacy. The Vizcayans plays an important role in preserving Vizcaya and making the Museum accessible to all. For more than fifty years, The Vizcayans have raised funds for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens through special events, membership and donor programs, bequests, and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Endowment Fund.
