Held at the Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater, the festival highlights the shared African roots that connect Caribbean cultures and the global Black diaspora. Those ties have shaped generations through music, food, language, and collective resilience—elements that will be on full display throughout the day.

This year’s headline act is iconic British-Jamaican reggae band Steel Pulse, whose socially conscious lyrics and decades-long legacy have made them one of reggae’s most influential voices worldwide. Their presence adds special significance to the festival, underscoring reggae’s role not just as entertainment, but as a cultural and political force closely tied to Black history and identity.

For Miramar, the Afro-Carib Festival holds particular meaning. The city is home to one of the largest Caribbean communities in South Florida, with a strong Jamaican presence and a predominantly Black population. Events like this serve as both celebration and affirmation—honouring heritage while educating younger generations about the cultural movements that shaped their communities, from reggae’s global impact to the broader Black freedom struggle.

Festival-goers can expect a full cultural experience, with live performances spanning reggae, afrobeats, konpa, reggaeton and more, alongside food, community pride, and family-friendly vibes. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

When: Saturday, February 28, 2026
Where: Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater, Miramar, FL

Afro-Carib-728x90
