"For over 35 years, Miami Carnival has endeavored to be the nucleus of Caribbean culture during every Columbus Day weekend on South Florida. It is critical for the sustainability of the Carnival that all our community stakeholders support the sanctioned main events of the Carnival calendar, including our Junior Carnival, Panorama, Jouvert and Parade of the Bands. These key Miami Carnival events created a platform of cultural tourism for other fetes and themed parties to exist for the catering public and should not conflict, especially with the main day of our Parade of the Bands. All community members are encouraged to support the Carnival's core programming in every way possible," states Joan Hinkson, Board Chair, Miami Broward One Carnival Host Committee.

The Miami Carnival vibes start with the Miami Carnival Junior Carnival on Saturday, October 5, 2019. This traditional event cultivates a platform that supports the passing of the baton of the culture of Carnival to the young people. On Friday, October 11, the annual Miami Carnival Panorama brings the rhythms of sweet Steelpan music competition between five competing bands. A highly anticipated performance by the Trinidad Massy All Stars Steel Orchestra, and appearances by Gypsy & Poser are some of the most talked-about among pan aficionados. On Saturday, October 12, the Miami Carnival Official J'Ouvert is also a very colorful event where paint and powder contribute color to the costumes.
