anyone can confirm that it is in the park? any bandleaders on here?

Miami Carnival is FREE on the Streets (T&T Style) a Downtown Bacchanal over 4 miles starting on 2ND Ave NE and flowing past the new Carnival Center for the Performing Arts until you drop.......

Thanks for responding. the site (miamicarnival.net/events) still has a park event listed with a performance by Machel and Xtatik. I think that is probably from 2005.

So, if I am reading your post correctly, Miami carnival will not be in Bicentennial park?

I thought most carnivals were free...

It ends in the park...I think

Of course its free on the streets, how could it be anything else?

The question is...is it free in the park? Contrary to other posts the answer appears to be NO:

And based on tradition, probably "much more at the door!"

But I would say, probably well worth the $20 or so if everyone above shows.

that info may be old...this yr is free in the park

Isn't the word on the street is that there is no Park b/c MCI has no money to pay for the park? That is what the rumor at least.

so then you saying according to rumours you hearing the performances going happen where? and the stage?


the hotline says park, free admission to the park, nothing about no park...

I suggest you call your bandleader and ask what is up. It would be a pity if the rumor is right.

Which performers? The info. currently on miamicarnival.net is from 2005.
Hopefully that will updated shortly.

You telling me that park event info is from last year and all they did is change the date to 2006?

Man, this Miami Carnival thing is a joke...glad I aint going this year, but if I was going it would be to Broward.

Yes..that is what i heard from someone just yesterday, who is actually involved in the promotion of Miami Carnival.

As per usual could never get a straight answer out of MCI.... ah somethings never change.

Miami carnival money went to broward county so now the have nothing.
