Coral Gables is set to close its historic centennial year with a live musical event that will bring together history and beauty at one of the city’s landmarks.
On December 7, starting at 6 p.m., the Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO) will perform the “Centennial Grand Finale Concert at the Venetian Pool,” located at 2701 De Soto Blvd. This event marks the culmination of the city’s 100th anniversary celebration.
For this special occasion, the Venetian Pool—originally opened in 1924 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places—will be drained and transformed into an open-air stage. This setting recreates the spirit of its earliest celebrations when Coral Gables first came to life.
“As we celebrate our centennial, we look to the future with harmony and pride, and there’s no better place to do so than at the Venetian Pool, where Coral Gables’ story began,” said Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago.
Under the direction of Maestro Eduardo Marturet, MISO will present a program designed to capture the elegance and artistry of Coral Gables’ heritage. Guests will enjoy an enchanting evening beneath the stars, surrounded by the city’s iconic Mediterranean architecture.
This concert serves as the grand finale to a year filled with centennial celebrations, including cultural exhibitions, community events, and public art programs honoring 100 years of the “City Beautiful.”
