One of the world's most recognizable names in music is planting its next global flag in Wynwood. Gibson Garage Miami will officially open to the public on September 10, 2026, bringing an immersive new guitar, music and cultural destination to the ground floor of the Wynwood Garage at 2660 NW 3rd Avenue.
Spanning more than 8,000 square feet, the new location becomes Gibson's third Garage worldwide, joining the company's flagship in Nashville and its London outpost. Miami will offer more than 500 guitars and instruments alongside live performances, custom guitar design, exclusive apparel, memorabilia, local collaborations and the first stateside Gibson Gallery art installation.
The opening adds another major experiential destination to Wynwood at a pivotal point in the neighborhood's evolution. Long established as one of Miami's leading arts, nightlife and cultural districts, Wynwood is increasingly becoming a residential neighborhood as new condominium and multifamily developments bring a growing population into the district.
That transition is creating demand for the restaurants, retail, entertainment and cultural experiences that make a neighborhood active beyond traditional business and nightlife hours. Gibson Garage fits naturally into that next chapter, building upon Wynwood's creative identity while introducing a destination capable of attracting musicians, residents and visitors alike.
The concept also brings a new platform for live music to the neighborhood. A dedicated performance stage inside Gibson Garage Miami will host artist performances, intimate showcases, album releases, community programming and appearances by established and emerging musicians.

"Retail is no longer just about what people buy—it's about what they feel, discover, and become part of. Gibson Garage Miami represents the next evolution of that idea: an immersive music destination in one of the world's most vibrant cultural cities. The Garage works because it goes far beyond the transaction; it invites people in to play, explore, create, connect, and experience Gibson heritage in the real world. Whether you're a lifelong Gibson player, an emerging artist, or someone picking up a guitar for the first time, this is a place where music feels welcoming, inspiring, and real. Miami is a city with music in its DNA—defined by energy, creativity, and global rhythm—making it the perfect home for the next chapter of the Gibson Garage experience," said Anne Rohosy, Interim CEO of Gibson.
Throughout the space, visitors will be able to explore more than 500 instruments from Gibson's family of brands, including Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, MESA/Boogie, Maestro, KRK and Gibson Amplifiers. Rather than operating solely as a traditional guitar store, the Garage is designed to encourage guests to pick up and play the instruments.
One of the space's signature visual elements will be a moving overhead conveyor carrying guitars through the Garage, referencing the finishing process used in Gibson's manufacturing facilities and creating a centerpiece above the retail floor.
Miami's own cultural identity will also be incorporated throughout the concept. Gibson plans to introduce elements inspired by Latin culture, exclusive apparel collaborations with local designers, lifestyle merchandise, celebrity and film memorabilia and rare instruments.

The Wynwood location will also introduce the first U.S. Gibson Gallery art installation, combining photography, street art and imagery from music history. The concept creates another connection with Wynwood's longstanding relationship with visual art and street culture.
For musicians seeking a one-of-one instrument, the Miami Garage will offer Gibson Custom's Made to Measure program. Customers will be able to work with Gibson Garage specialists to configure individual elements of a guitar, including wood tops, neck profiles, pickups, hardware, finishes and aging treatments from the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab. The resulting instruments are then handcrafted by Gibson Custom artisans in Nashville.
Gibson Garage Miami is located on the ground floor of the Wynwood Garage, with the space leased by Goldman Properties, whose involvement in the neighborhood has helped shape Wynwood's evolution as an arts and cultural district.

The arrival of Gibson also comes as Wynwood's broader transformation accelerates. As more residents move into the neighborhood, the district's next phase will increasingly depend on creating a diverse mix of uses and experiences within walking distance of new housing. Cultural concepts like Gibson Garage can help preserve the creative character that made Wynwood distinctive while adding another amenity for the neighborhood's expanding residential population.
For Miami more broadly, Gibson Garage introduces a new permanent gathering place centered specifically around musicians and guitar culture. In a city whose musical identity spans Latin, Caribbean, rock, hip-hop, pop and electronic influences, the combination of retail, live performances, artist programming and community events gives the Garage the potential to become more than a store.
With Nashville, London and now Miami forming Gibson's global Garage network, Wynwood becomes the newest destination for the 130-plus-year-old instrument brand—and gains a major new cultural anchor as the neighborhood continues its evolution into one of Miami's most dynamic mixed-use communities.
