This year, the Deering Estate, 16701 SW 72 Ave. in Palmetto Bay, invites visitors to step back in time and experience the magic of the season with “Historic Holidays: Caroling through the Season.”
The Richmond Cottage, the first floor and basement of the Stone House, and outdoor areas of the estate will come alive with the nostalgic charm of traditional holiday carols.
Each room will be adorned with festive décor inspired by the beloved songs that have filled our hearts for generations. Under the creative direction of the Deering Estate Designer-in-Residence, Alfredo Brito, and in collaboration with talented local designers, Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence, the 100 Ladies of Deering, local garden clubs, and volunteers, the estate will transport visitors to a bygone era where carolers, sleigh bells, and warm hearths evoke the true spirit of the holidays.
This year’s theme celebrates the joy of gathering and the timeless melodies that unite us all in festive cheer. Highlights include rooms themed to classic carols such as Frosty, the Snowman, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and The Twelve Days of Christmas each bringing to life the lyrics through intricate and immersive holiday displays.
The Deering Estate’s holiday décor includes over a dozen holiday trees, from the grand 17-foot tree in the Great Hall, to multiple smaller trees throughout the historic houses that will be lavishly decorated to accentuate the architectural details and fine furnishings of the historic structures.
The Historic Holiday Décor will be on display daily from Friday, Nov. 29, to Tuesday, Jan. 7, (10 a.m.-5 p.m.; gates close at 4 p.m.). Note that the Deering Estate is closed on Christmas Day.
The holiday display is included with general admission, $18 for adults (ages 15 and older) and $10 for children (ages 4-14), plus tax. Admission is free for Deering Estate Foundation members and children under 4 years old.
