In recent years Deering has worked with outside ticketing platforms for events such as the “Moonlight and Music” Valentine’s Day concert. These platforms have fees on top of the ticket price. In 2020 Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces moved to a new ticketing platform, Park Link, which supports event ticketing, without those additional fees. Like most ticketing platforms, you will need to create an account the first time. After creating your account, you will be able to purchase tickets and register for programs at Deering and other Miami-Dade County Parks.

Food & Drinks
Food & beverages will be available for purchase. Additionally, a bar with wine sold by the bottle benefiting the Deering Estate Foundation will be onsite. Guests are also welcome to bring in small picnic baskets (20×20 or smaller).
