On Thursday, November 9th Bal Harbour Shops in partnership with Bal Harbour Village hosted a VIP Access Members-Only Cocktail reception on Level 2 of the Shops, overlooking an intimate performance by the South Florida Symphony Orchestra as part of a 3-day celebration of Bal Harbour magazine’s 20th anniversary. Over 250 Access Members joined the festivities and were treated to specialty cocktails courtesy of Ara Vartanian and savored passed canapés from Stephan Starr’s Le Zoo and Makoto restaurants while overlooking and listening to the symphonic sounds of the symphony. In addition to the musical performance, guests received a first look at a newly unveiled art exhibit titled Illustrating Bal Harbour Shops featuring a select number of custom illustrations by artists from 1980’s to present day, each one taking inspiration from the idyllic environment of Bal Harbour Shops. The installation currently up at Bal Harbour Shops is open to the public and will be there for a limited time.
