Overtown Music & Arts Festival

One of Miami’s most beloved cultural traditions is back! The Overtown Music & Arts Festival returns this summer as “Family Reunion Fest”, a scaled-back edition designed to keep the soul of the event alive while focusing on what matters most — community, connection, and culture. The festival takes place Saturday, July 19 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Dorsey Park (NW 1st Avenue between NW 17th & NW 18th Street).
This free, community-centered celebration delivers the spirit of a neighborhood block party with live music, DJ sound clashes, a family-friendly Youth Zone, delicious food, local vendors, and cultural pride — all set in the heart of historic Overtown.
