South Floridians are in for a treat from the islands this summer, when the Caribbean Village rolls into the City of Lauderhill. Set for Sunday June 26th at the Lauderhill Sports Park, the event intends to highlight the unique characteristics found within the many cultures of the Caribbean.
In its second staging, the event promises to be more spectacular than its inaugural showing last year, showcasing the very best of Caribbean culture from diverse islands at this Music, Arts, Food and Wellness Festival.
“The Caribbean Village is yet another project produced by the Galleon Foundation aimed at highlighting and educating the community about the rich Caribbean Heritage,” says event founder, Lindell Douglas of the Galleon Foundation. “Parents can bring their children to this event to learn more about their brothers’ and sisters’ culture from other islands. It will be a fun filled day for the entire family”

No matter what, there will be something for every member of the family to enjoy.
