How Miami Got Its Fountain Back
1980s
The City of Miami asks the artist and architect Isamu Noguchi to reimagine Bayfront Park. The Mildred and Claude Pepper Fountain is part of his design.
Before 2007
Storm damage and a lack of funding shut the fountain down. For years the basin sits dry, and the rooms underneath begin to flood.
2024
DG Aqua Fountains takes on the restoration for the Bayfront Park Management Trust and the City of Miami. The old fountain comes down, and a new basin, control room and filtration system go in. Hurricane Milton pauses the work, but the crew pushes on.
December 2024
The fountain lights up again: more than 800 water jets and 500 LED lights, choreographed to music.

Where
Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132. The fountain sits at the center of the park, on the water.
Getting There
Take the free Metromover to Bayfront Park Station, about 760 feet from the fountain. If you drive, there are parking garages close by.
Where to Stand
Anywhere on the rim works, since the show is built in rings. Stand on the bay side to see the city skyline behind the jets, or on the boulevard side to see the bay behind them.
When to Arrive
Ten minutes early is enough to pick your spot on the rim.
Stay Close
Hotels within a short walk of the fountain (distances are in a straight line). Bayside Marketplace, next door, has places to eat before or after the show.
Plan a Moment at the Fountain
The show is free and open to everyone, and it always will be. What we plan is everything around it: the right night and show, where to stand, photos and video, flowers, and a table nearby.
A Proposal
The right night, the right spot, a photographer ready.
A Birthday
Cake, sparklers and your people at the rim.
Wedding Photos
The fountain lit behind you and an hour to shoot.
A Company Night
Your team, the show and a table nearby.
