Carnivals in the world that attracted over 50,000 people on
Carnival
day. This Caribbean cultural experience and spectacular riotous blend of
colors, pageantry and fantasy, is depicted through a kaleidoscope of
incredible costumes, steel bands, calypso, soca and konpa music. The
annual event attracts over 100,000 people throughout the United States,
Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean to the South Florida
area. The unified Miami
Carnival has a significant impact on annual
tourism and the overall economy in South Florida.
“The richness
and diversity of the Caribbean culture is an important part of the
fabric that makes South Florida unique. We are excited about the
possibilities that are ahead of us with a viable venue, renewed energy
and the continued support of our bandleaders, masqueraders, steel bands
and promoters. The time spent over the last few months provided us with a
foundation to elevate Miami
Carnival to a new level”, adds Mario
Zamora, director of Miami
Broward One
Carnival Host Committee and BCCI
representative.
“We are excited to finally have the opportunity
to announce the venue for
Carnival 2010. We thank all our stakeholders,
including our bandleaders, masqueraders, steel bands, promoters and the
tens of thousands of attendees who travel from all over to attend
Carnival for their patience and support for this important community
celebration. Miami
Carnival would not be possible without their
continued support. We are committed to finalizing all plans for one of
the most successful productions of
Carnival that South Florida has ever
seen.”, states Ruthven Williams, director of Miami
