South Florida Gets Ready For 4th annual Hollywood ArtsPark Experience: Colors of the Caribbean
Hollywood, FL – The Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) presents the 4th annual Hollywood ArtsPark Experience: Colors of the Caribbean, a free family festival on Saturday June 20th. Held on the Saturday of Father’s Day Weekend since 2012, Colors of the Caribbean celebrates Caribbean American Heritage Month with music and flavors of the islands.
Produced for the Hollywood CRA by Aifos Agency, Caribbean American Heritage Florida and The Rhythm Foundation, Colors of the Caribbean takes place Saturday June 20th, 4pm to 11pm, at the Hollywood ArtsPark at Young Circle in downtown Hollywood. Live performances include Inner Circle, reggae’s top selling “bad boys,” Trinidadian Soca Monarch Rikki Jai, young Antiguan star Ricardo Dru, and diplomat of Caribbean music Kevin Lyttle. Other artists include local favorites Camille Kaye and RSPK and the popular DJ Majestic. This festival will be hosted by local news celebrities Neki Mohan (ABC Weekend Anchor) and Sharon Lawson (NBC Miami Today Weekend Anchor.)
In addition to music in the amphitheater, the ArtsPark at Young Circle will be full of Caribbean delights: A Caribbean Travel Expo; YMCA Kids Zone powered by CSC of Broward County, a Caribbean Food Village with all the flavors of the islands on sale, Caribbean arts and craft vendors, and smaller stages featuring folk dance and culture performances including tassa and steel bands.
“Colors of the Caribbean attracts thousands of music lovers each year to celebrate Caribbean culture, which means lots of music, lots of food and lots of fun,” said Jorge Camejo, Executive Director of the Hollywood CRA. “Hollywood’s wonderful variety of restaurants and shops, all a short walk from the ArtsPark, will have their doors wide open. We hope that visitors and local residents will make it a whole weekend experience and also visit Hollywood Beach while they’re here.”
