Original Miami Beach Antique Show Returns March 26-30, 2026

The Original Miami Beach Antique Show (OMBAS) is set to return to the Miami Beach Convention Center from March 26 to March 30, 2026, for its 63rd year. The renowned event will host over 600 dealers from more than 30 countries, offering a vast array of antiques, art, home décor, jewelry, timepieces, and fashion.

A Premier Destination for Antiques and Art

Spanning 500,000 square feet across Exhibition Halls A–C, the show will feature antiques from the region and abroad. Alongside traditional antique finds, OMBAS will present a Modern & Contemporary Pavilion showcasing sculptures, paintings, and artworks from the 1860s to the present day, offering a diverse mix of styles from abstract to minimalist.

Attendees can expect to find a wide selection of jewelry, from Victorian rings to Art Deco brooches and vintage bracelets. The show is also a trusted source for perennially popular and hard-to-find luxury items, including timepieces from Rolex and Patek Philippe, and jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier.

Educational Programs and Special Features

Beyond the extensive dealer offerings, OMBAS 2026 will feature a robust schedule of educational sessions, Q&A panels, and live podcasting. Workshops are designed to educate and entertain, covering topics such as antique watches, Waterford Crystal, and purchasing print art, all led by industry experts.

A highlight of the event is the Complimentary Appraisal Day with Bonhams Skinner, one of the world’s preeminent auction houses. On Saturday, March 28, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Ocean Ballroom A, attendees can bring one piece for a verbal valuation, reminiscent of the popular Antiques Roadshow television program.

Jewelry enthusiasts can also attend sessions like 'Is It Authentic?', scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m., which will instruct attendees on identifying jewelry hallmarks. 'Tales of the Trade' will offer insights from storied jewelry and watch vendors about their experiences and current market trends.

Insider Tips for Attendees

Michelle Orman, Press & Communications at OMBAS, offers pro-tips for maximizing the show experience. Attendees are advised to wear comfortable shoes, as the admission ticket is valid for all five days, encouraging multiple visits to fully explore the offerings. Vendors typically offer a courtesy hold on items for about an hour, and attendees are encouraged to engage with dealers to learn the history behind the pieces.

The show will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday. For those seeking refreshments, a full cash bar and an on-site cafe will be available.
