Goombay and Junkanoo are familiar words in Bahamian culture. They both invoke visions of colorful costumes, calypso music and dancing, followed by a sumptuous feast.

And you're in luck because the annual arts and cultural event, the Miami Goombay Festival , will celebrate Coconut Grove’s Bahamian roots by taking the party to the streets, and you're invited.

When: Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, 2025.

Friday: 6-9 p.m.

Saturday: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Sunday: Noon to 8 p.m.

This year, in collaboration with the Bahamian Consulate of Miami, organizers will not only bring vendors and performers from the Bahamas, but will also feature local artists Trina and Larry Dogg who will perform on stage.
