Calle Ocho
Claiming to be the biggest street party in the world, and
undoubtedly the biggest Hispanic bash in the United States,
Carnaval Miami offers two weeks of concerts, parades, family
entertainment, sport, art exhibits and ethnic food and culminating
in the massive 'Calle Ocho' street party and parade. Organised by
Little Havana's Kiwanis Club in aid of needy children, Carnaval
attracts a million fun-lovers who swarm through 23 city blocks.
More than 40 stages are placed on intersecting avenues, from which
emanates merengue, salsa, pop and Caribbean music. Food kiosks line
the streets, and four blocks are devoted entirely to children's
entertainment. For more information phone (305) 644 8888 or email
