Time Out says

Founded in 1977, the Goombay Festival returns to Coconut Grove from Friday, June 6th through Sunday, June 8th, celebrating the neighborhood’s Bahamian roots with a weekend of music, culture and family-friendly programming. This year’s headliners include powerhouse vocalist Keke Wyatt and Miami rapper Ball Greezy, with performances by DJ TJ, Papa Smurf, Mama D and more. The Local Love Stage showcases homegrown talent on June 7th and 8th, and a mix of vendors will line Grand Avenue throughout the weekend, selling everything from spicy conch salad to Southern-style BBQ and more. Be sure to stick around long enough to take in the sounds of Junkanoo, a centuries-old Bahamian tradition featuring rhythmic drumming, elaborate costumes and lively street processions. Grand Avenue from SW 37th Avenue to Elizabeth Street; Free
