Carnival & Calle Ocho Festival

More magic was brought to the City of Magic this March when Miami’s most loved and most vibrant festival, Carnaval Miami, returned to the streets once again. For those who want to get in the midst of celebrations and are in search of accommodation in South Beach Miami should consider the iconic Metropolitan by COMO Miami Beach as it is located in the heart of the Miami Beach historic district just 25 minutes away from the streets of Little Havana where the events take place.

The Carnaval Miami is an annual event that features many festivals which is joined by thousands. The 38th annual Calle Ocho Festival was held on the 15th of March and had a wonderful collection of groovy rhythms of Latin music, cycling stunt team performances, and break dancing squads. The Carnaval on the Mile, another feature of Carnaval Miami, which took place on the 7th and 8th of March was an exuberant weekend of Jazz, Latin Funk, Caribbean rhythms, art, food and of course lots and lots of dancing.
