More Info.

The Miami Beach Art Deco weekend is a massive festival along Ocean Drive featuring numerous booths selling antiques, clothing, memoribillia, arts and crafts and much else from the Art Deco era. There are food vendors, live performers and numerous other activities.

During the 1920s and 30s, advertisers transitioned from simple one-on-one sales pitches to a broader and more subtle style of engaging larger audiences by eliciting feelings and selling ideas. Coupled with that was the rise in mass circulation magazines, national radio broadcasts, and the influential power of the motion picture—promotion took on a new meaning and advertising was forever altered.
