The largest Haitian music festival in the United States took place in Downtown Miami, Saturday. Thousands came out in the colors of Haiti’s flag for the 26th annual Haitian Compas Festival, held at Bayfront Park.
“What sets us apart from any other festival is that we are showing the importance of our flag during the entire season of the Haitian Compas Festival. It’s become a place to display our heritage in the most beautiful way and open the window to other cultures to celebrate with us,” explains Rodney Noel, Co-Founder of the Haitian Compas Festival.
“All the events covering the Haitian Compas Festival weekend are the biggest ticket sellers. We have tourists and Haitian-Americans coming from all across the globe to vacation in Miami in May, thanks to the 26 consecutive years of the festival, its tradition, plain and simple,” confirms Jean Michel Cerenord, Co-Founder of the Haitian Compas Festival.
The Haitian Compas Festival has been the go-to event of the year in the Haitian Music Industry since its inception.
With a reputation for being the leading party weekend of the year, the events surrounding the festival are some of the most popular in Miami.
