Jazz fans will appreciate the three-day Miami Downtown Jazz Festival, which takes place at the end of the second spring month in the same Bayfront Park. Here they play not only jazz but also related genres such as blues, funk, soul. Many people are attracted by the festival's warm friendly atmosphere, which makes it possible to create a direct dialogue between the listener and the performer. Another jazz event taking place in mid-November is the Sunny Isles Beach Jazz Fest, which is held in Gateway Park. Eminent headliners are invited to both music festivals so that no one gets bored. However, this is also a great opportunity to discover new names in jazz.
One of the most popular and colorful events in the festival life of Miami is the Calle Ocho Festival, which takes place in the world-famous quarter and demonstrates Pan-American culture in all its glory. This happens through music, dancing, shows, theatrical performances, local cuisine, traditional games and competitions. At that time, the pearl of the North American Riviera is visited by over a million people. Many people are eagerly awaiting the carnival all year, starting from the moment it ends. The festival got several records in the Guinness Book of Records. For example, in 1990, the world's longest pinata (Mexican hollow toy) was created specifically for the event, and the longest cigar was designed for the festival in 2000.
