Murder Mystery Dinners Invite Guests to Become the Detectives
Making a dramatic splash, the highlight of the month is Surfcomber’s “Murder Mystery Dinner Series” hosted on three consecutive Saturdays—October 11, 18, and 25. At these events, guests slip into character as part of an intimate, 30-person interactive show staged at High Tide Beach Bar & Grill. Each night features a unique whodunit, creative cuisine, and curated cocktails or wine pairings, transforming the dinner table into a theatrical experience.

Each ticket is $158.50 (covering dinner, drinks, fees, and gratuity). Costumes and curiosity are encouraged as guests become both cast and detectives, elevating the event beyond the usual holiday fare.
Oktoberfest Beer Garden Highlights Local Breweries and Guest Competitions
The festive momentum starts early with Oktoberfest Beer Garden at High Tide on October 4, from 11 AM to 6 PM.

From creative collaborations with chefs and mixologists to competitive social programming, the hotel is reasserting its reputation for playful luxury and immersive events in Miami’s Art Deco district.
As the year winds down, Kimpton Surfcomber will keep up the energy with Thanksgiving dinners and further programming for Miami Art Week and Art Basel, highlighting its commitment to year-round innovation in hospitality.
