Taste of Miami Karnival parade brings Caribbean culture, music and food to Little Haiti

LITTLE HAITI, Fla. — A parade with floats rolled through the streets, followed closely by a band, as the Taste of Miami Karnival kicked off in Little Haiti on Sunday.

The event gives a taste of Caribbean carnival celebrations through dance, music genres like kompa, reggae, soca and Afrobeats, along with food.

The street festival draws people from Caribbean nations to Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Northeast Second Avenue is shut down from Northeast 54th Street to Northeast 62nd Street for the event.

Hosting again this year is Supa Cindy, who spoke ahead of the festivities.

“It’s our celebration. We do so much. All the Caribbean just unite together in Little Haiti, and so the Zoes, the Haitians, but it’s all about the Caribbean in general,” she said.

At some point, the floats are expected to reach the stage area, where the celebration will continue into the night.
