Carnaval on the Mile
It's carnaval season in Miami! The more refined sibling of Calle Ocho, Carnaval on the Mile takes over Coral Gables' Miracle Mile for a free two-day festival with a decidedly glitzier crowd. Now in its 27th year, the event features three stages with a mix of jazz, funk, Latin jazz and blues, plus over 100 art vendors showing everything from paintings and photography to sculpture and jewelry. Food vendors line the street and kids have their own dedicated zone with face painting, a petting zoo and live performances.
