[SOUTH FLORIDA] – We are excited about getting back to the celebration of the Miami Carnival. But we want to do it safely and responsibly. COVID-19, along with the Delta variant, has changed the landscape of our world, so we must change with it. This, according to Joan Justin-Chairperson of the Miami Broward One Carnival Host Committee.

Safety First

As we plan for the 2021 Miami Carnival season, please know that the Miami Broward Carnival Host Committee, which produces the official Miami Carnival on Columbus Day weekend in Miami, is committed to our patrons’ safety masqueraders, vendors, and the community at large. With that said, we want to inform you that we will incorporate and go beyond the CDC’s minimum requirements.

We are working with the Miami-Dade County doctors and staying up to date with the CDC protocols. As a result, guidelines and required reduction in the number of attendees for this year’s Miami Carnival. As a result, the landscape will look and feel different. Especially, as we work to produce a celebration of the Miami Carnival that provides safety and a level of comfort added to the patron experience.

We will continue to monitor the numbers, the news and meet with the County’s officials to ensure we always have up-to-date information. This will allow us to make the best decisions with the health and safety of our masqueraders and patrons in mind.

  • All ATTENDEES and PARTICIPANTS will be required to wear a mask at all times.
  • You will be required to present a negative PCR Test that needs to be done NO EARLIER THAN OCTOBER 6th before entering all of the official MIAMI CARNIVAL events produced by the MIAMI BROWARD ONE CARNIVAL HOST COMMITTEE which will begin on October 8th.
