Elevate
May 18, 2024
From: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Unity Coalition's ELEVATE festival returns for its 10th edition on Saturday, May 18. Held at the Elaine Gordon Enchanted Forest Park in North Miami, this free event offers a day of workshops, activities and inspiration all centered around the theme of being nicer - to yourself, others and the planet.
Enjoy a festive day of good vibes, with a healthy dose of self-care thrown in for good measure. Explore a variety of 45-minute sessions on topics like health, wellness, meditation and creativity. Get crafty in the Crafts Pavilion, unleash your inner poet or writer, or take a dance class. Learn about the history of the Tequesta people who inhabited the land, or visit the Life Coaches and motivational speakers for a dose of inspiration.
The whole family can enjoy the day's festivities. There will be horse stables for pony rides, a Health & Wellness Village with onsite healthcare testing and a variety of food vendors to keep you fueled. The park itself offers beautiful nature trails and picnic areas, making it a perfect place to spend a day outdoors.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the exciting activities happening throughout the day:
- All Day: Enjoy sounds by DJ OREN NIZRI, explore the Green Village with local artists and vendors, or visit the Equestrian Village.
- Creative Activities: Unleash your creativity with sessions on painting in the forest, jewelry making and plant propagation.
- Health & Wellness: Immerse yourself in the Health & Wellness Village, participate in a mindful movement yoga session or get inspired by Life Coach Harry Lopez.
- Performances & Culture: Hear live music by the Miami Gay Chorus, experience a traditional Caribbean dance class or witness a land cleansing performance by the AMEYAL Mexican Cultural Center.
