Holiday House Tour & Campfire

Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with a special evening at Deering Estate! Join us on select dates for the Holiday House Tour and Campfire, where history, festive holiday décor, and waterfront ambiance come together for a memorable seasonal experience.

This year, Deering Estate’s holiday décor theme is “Tides and Tidings,” bringing coastal charm and holiday cheer to the historic Richmond Cottage. Begin your evening with a brief introduction and orientation before enjoying a self-guided tour at your own pace. Explore the beautifully decorated historic interiors, discover the unique architecture and history of the estate, and immerse yourself in the festive spirit of the season. Staff will be available on both floors to answer questions and share additional insights as you explore.

After your tour, head outdoors to gather around a cozy campfire overlooking beautiful Biscayne Bay. Enjoy complimentary marshmallows, take in the peaceful waterfront views, and savor the simple pleasures of the holiday season in this one-of-a-kind historic setting.

Guests are welcome to arrive at any time between 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to enjoy the evening’s festivities. Please note that your selected ticket time applies only to the house tour. House tour introductions begin at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Feel free to enjoy the campfire and waterfront setting before or after your tour!

Whether you’re looking for a festive outing with family or a special evening with friends, the Holiday House Tour and Campfire offers a wonderful opportunity to experience Deering Estate in a whole new way.
