Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Candlelight® is bringing its signature immersive concert experience to South Florida this Halloween season. "A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics" will take place at Fontainebleau Miami Beach , transforming the iconic hotel into a candlelit chamber music venue for one of the most atmospheric live music experiences of the year.
Performed by local string quartets in the glow of thousands of flickering candles, the programme blends classical works with music from film, television, and popular culture. The setlist includes Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Bernard Herrmann's Psycho score, the theme from Stranger Things, and selections from The Nightmare Before Christmas, alongside classical staples Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre and Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
The Fontainebleau Miami Beach performance is part of a nationwide rollout of the experience, which is also visiting The Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center in Chicago, Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, and the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Each venue was selected for its architectural character and ability to amplify the candlelit atmosphere.
Candlelight® has built a global following for its ability to transform familiar music into something genuinely transportive — the combination of live performance, intimate venue scale, and thousands of candles creates an experience that is difficult to replicate. The Halloween edition leans fully into that atmosphere, pairing the season's most iconic music with the kind of setting that makes it feel genuinely eerie.
