There’s no better way to toast the season than with a martini in hand, a little swing in your step, and Sinatra in the air. This Thanksgiving weekend, JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa invites guests to celebrate Ol’ Blue Eyes in grand style as acclaimed crooner Michael Martocci returns with his 20-piece orchestra — joined by dynamic performer Peter Lemongello, Jr. — for an unforgettable night of American songbook classics on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 8 p.m. in the King Ballroom.

It’s the kind of night that makes you want to dress to the nines and sip something classic — think velvet tuxes, martinis, and a little “Fly Me to the Moon.” Guests will be serenaded by the timeless American songbook, featuring Frank Sinatra’s most iconic hits, performed by Martocci — widely hailed as the premier Sinatra tribute artist. His album A Man & His Music brings many of Sinatra’s original arrangements to life, making this evening as authentic as it is unforgettable.

The show opens with the dynamic Peter Lemongello, Jr., whose high-energy mix of music, comedy, and impressions has earned rave reviews — The New York Times calls his performance “a must-see to be believed.” Expect powerhouse vocals, dazzling showmanship, and a touch of Rat Pack charisma.

The multimedia experience will feature rare Sinatra footage and the lush orchestrations fans know and love — a full sensory celebration of the Chairman of the Board.

Make a night of it with dinner at Turnberry’s award-winning restaurants, Bourbon Steak or Corsair Kitchen & Bar (reservations strongly encouraged), and take advantage of discounted valet at $15.

Tickets:

VIP Package: $100 (includes reserved seating in the first four rows + one complimentary drink) General Reserved: $80 Turnberry Isle Country Club members: VIP tickets starting at $75

Let the music, glamour, and spirit of Sinatra sweep you away — because some nights in Miami were made for romance, rhythm, and a little old-school magic.
