What's on in Miami


By claire - Posted on 24 December 2009

There are some great annual events that have helped put Miami on the map:

Coconut Grove Arts Festival (February)
Each year the village of Coconut Grove plays host to a fabulous art festival which attracts more than 150,000 people to view the works of more than 330 contemporary artists. With everything from photography and jewellery to sculpture and woodwork, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Miami Carnival (October)
This cultural celebration of Caribbean-Latin flavour attracts around 50,000 people each year in one of the city’s most famous festivals. With a parade, performers, floats and colourful costumes, expats in Miami should head down to the streets to enjoy the festivities.

Calle Ocho (March)
This festival claims to be the largest street party in the world, and it’s definitely the biggest Hispanic bash in the United States. Expats who like a little Latino flavour should head down to the streets to enjoy the shows, parades, dancing and revelry.
