City of Miami District 5 to celebrate Haitian Heritage Month with ‘Sak Pasé in Little Haiti’

The City of Miami’s District 5 is set to celebrate Haitian Heritage Month and Haitian Flag Day with “Sak Pasé in Little Haiti,” a cultural event highlighting the contributions and influence of Miami’s Haitian community.

The celebration, hosted by Christine King, chairwoman of the City of Miami Commission and District 5 commissioner, will take place at the Little Haiti Cultural Center. Organizers say the event is free and open to the public.

The evening will feature live music, Haitian cuisine and family-friendly activities designed to showcase Haitian culture and traditions. Entertainment will include performances by DJ Bugz, while Vee Boss will serve as host for the event.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a free art workshop presented in partnership with Oolite Arts as part of its “Oolite Arts On the Move” initiative. The workshop will be led by Haitian artists and Oolite Arts alumni Stephen Arboite and Mark Delmont and will invite participants of all ages to create artwork inspired by Haitian culture, storytelling and traditions.

“Sak Pasé in Little Haiti is a reminder that culture is what gives a neighborhood its heartbeat,” King said in a statement. “This celebration honors the energy, artistry and traditions that continue to shape Miami in such a powerful way.”

Organizers say the event is intended to bring together residents and visitors in celebration of Little Haiti’s cultural identity and the broader impact of the Haitian diaspora on Miami’s social and artistic landscape.
