ModaMiami Hosts Its Largest Event Yet at The Biltmore in Coral Gables

ModaMiami returned to Coral Gables for its third annual edition, delivering its most expansive program to date. Over three days, The Biltmore became a gathering point for collectors, designers, industry leaders, and enthusiasts.

The weekend blended concours presentation, immersive hospitality, citywide activations, and a headline auction at its centre. With continued year-over-year growth in attendance and engagement, the 2026 edition marked a decisive step forward, reinforcing Miami as a must-attend stop for the global collector car community. Next year is already confirmed, with ModaMiami returning the last week of February 2027.

Miami Car Week

Miami Car Week continued to expand in the days leading up to ModaMiami, with a slate of citywide activations underscoring the event’s growing footprint. Programming ranged from track experiences at The Concours Club to private showcases at The Collection Suites, alongside enthusiast meetups and brand-led gatherings across Miami. Together, the week’s activity reinforced Miami Car Week as an established, city-backed moment on the global automotive calendar.

In its third edition, ModaMiami continued its year-over-year growth, welcoming over 8,000 guests from around the world and drawing a strong mix of collectors and lifestyle audiences. The weekend delivered a cohesive program spanning rally, concours, auction, and celebration, reinforcing ModaMiami’s place at the centre of Miami Car Week, with more than 500 vehicles appearing on the showfield across every era, make, and category.

Guests experienced the energy, elegance, and artistry of ModaMiami, where world-class automobiles, gourmet dining, curated shopping, and vibrant entertainment converged into one unforgettable weekend—from open-air bites on the showfield to refined culinary destinations, exclusive hospitality lounges, luxury retail, and immersive nightlife.

“None of this happens without the people who show up and bring Moda to life—our attendees, the collectors and show car entrants, our consignors and bidders, our partners and sponsors, and everyone across Miami who backed the week. Next year is already confirmed, and we’ll be back the last week of February 2027,” said Gord Duff, President of RM Sotheby’s.
