For the first time in 35 years, the Miami Carnival will be hosted as a virtual experience from Thursday, October 8^th – Sunday, October 11^th, 2020, as a way to flatten he curve amid the COVID pandemic. Celebrating Miami, the Caribbean, music, pageantry, and Caribbean culture over this multi-day experience, the Miami Carnival is one of the most anticipated Caribbean Carnivals held annually, draws over 75,000 attendees, and contributes to the South Florida area's economic impact during Columbus Day weekend. For the first time, the Miami Broward Host Committee is making all the elements of Miami Carnival free to access. There will be performances by the 2019 Junior Calypso winner, 2019 Jr. Steelpan winner as well as a segment to take viewers through a story about Carnival. Viewers will still get to enjoy the pageantry of the costumes and experience the sweet and melodious sounds of the steel pan. The GMCVB has a long-standing partnership with the Miami Carnival, and looks forward to participating virtually this year and in-person in 2021.
