Wynwood Marketplace is a vibrant open-air venue located in the heart of
Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, a neighborhood renowned for its street art, creative energy, and dynamic nightlife. Established in 2017 by SWARM Inc., the venue was conceived to encapsulate the free-spirited ethos of Wynwood itself, blending art, music, food, and community events into a social marketplace atmosphere. Over the years, Wynwood Marketplace has become a hub for both locals and tourists, serving as a go-to destination for weekend gatherings, art walks, major holiday celebrations, and special events such as
Miami Art Week and Wynwood Pride.
The marketplace is unique in its structure: an adaptable outdoor space featuring pop-up shops, artisanal food stands, bars, and performance areas, all set amidst the colorful murals and installations that define the Wynwood district’s visual landscape. Its reputation as a cultural incubator has grown steadily, hosting everything from live DJ sets to family-friendly festivals, artisan markets, and immersive art experiences. While the physical space has undergone periodic upgrades to improve capacity and enhance its guest experience, the location has remained a central fixture on NW 2nd Avenue, cementing itself as an anchor point for the neighborhood’s ongoing transformation.
Through its inclusive ethos and consistent curation of diverse programming, Wynwood Marketplace has played a crucial role in elevating
Miami’s creative and nightlife scenes, fostering a place where international travelers, local artists, and enterprising vendors converge under the
Miami night sky. Notable artists who have performed at Wynwood Marketplace include international names such as
Diplo, Walshy Fire (of Major Lazer), and the trap duo GTA, alongside a prolific roster of
Miami’s local DJs and bands like Otto Von Schirach, Patrick M, and Paperwater. The venue has also supported performances by electronic music collectives affiliated with III Points, plus up-and-coming Latin acts, reggae artists, and hip-hop performers during city-wide festivals and themed events, further establishing its reputation as a true showcase for global and homegrown talent alike.
