FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — On Sunday, Little Havana hosts one of the largest Hispanic celebrations of its kind in the United States: Calle Ocho Music Festival.
The annual daylong festival features street vendors, music, folkloric dancing and lots of entertainment for all ages along Miami’s Calle Ocho from Southwest 12th to Southwest 27th avenues from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Yotuel Romero, co-author of “Patria y Vida,” the now iconic song of the Cuban diaspora, is the King of Carnaval Miami 2022.
“‘Patria y Vida’ has become an anthem that has fueled a movement of expression through music and art for the Cuban people and there’s no better place than the Calle Ocho Music Festival to continue to elevate the message,” said Alexander Pérez, president of the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana, which organizes the event.
