The Miami Broward Junior Carnival showcases Caribbean culture and provides an excellent opportunity for young people to participate and develop their artistry. This year's Junior Carnival reaffirms steadfast commitment to youth and community initiatives, reflecting the strength and unity of the community.

The gates open at 1pm, and the parade starts at 2 pm. 

The day features 10 Junior Masquerade bands competing for prizes and bragging rights. The event will kick off with the Junior Steel Pan Competition and the Junior Calypso Competition. 

The day's highlight will be the parade of 10 masquerade bands, each presenting their unique interpretation of Caribbean culture.

The event also promises a rich display of cultural diversity, with performances ranging from American marching bands to the rhythmic beats of African-Afro drumming and Tassa drumming, native to the Caribbean.

This family-centered event encourages young participants under 18 to showcase their talents, build meaningful connections, and express their appreciation for Caribbean heritage through music and movement, fostering a sense of connection and unity among the community.

Be sure to visit the TD Bank tent for free face painting, games, and giveaways.

The community, especially the youth, is invited to this unique celebration. It's a fun and educational opportunity to explore and deepen one's understanding of Caribbean history and heritage.
