Vizcaya Museum and Gardens will open its historic Village to a free night market Thursday, Nov. 12, with South Florida farmers, food vendors, artisans, live jazz and poetry filling the grounds from 5 to 9 p.m.

The event, at 3250 South Miami Avenue in Coconut Grove, requires only a free RSVP through Eventbrite. The first 100 guests to arrive will receive a complimentary tote bag.

The lineup pairs shopping with live performance. Musician Alicia del Aguila, described on the event listing as a multidisciplinary artist, farmer and community educator, will perform a set blending guitar, voice, drumming and meditative sounds. Guests may be invited to join in community drumming.

Poetry takes the stage at 6 p.m. Wild Bloom Poetry, hosted by poet and author Stella Amador, will feature Miami poet Renzo Del Castillo alongside live jazz by Michael Gaspari of The G.G. Collective. An open mic follows for anyone who reserves a separate Poet Performer add-on ticket through Eventbrite. Each performer gets up to four minutes.

Guided tours of Vizcaya Village are available for $6. An English tour begins at 6:15 p.m. and a Spanglish tour at 7 p.m., according to the event listing. The tours cover the site's history and ongoing restoration, as first reported by WSVN.

Vizcaya Village sits across South Miami Avenue from the museum's main house and formal gardens. The Village served as the working agricultural hub of the estate built by industrialist James Deering between 1914 and 1922, according to Vizcaya's website. It hosts a Sunday farmers market and a Village Café as part of an ongoing restoration that includes urban agriculture programs.
