Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida is set for Saturday, May 16th, 2020 at Elizabeth Virrick Park. This Signature Festival and Parade is celebrating 39 Years and starts near McDonald Street then leads down Grand Avenue to Hibiscus Street then to The Festival Park. This extremely amazing cultural event is a celebration of the legacy of a Bahamian-rooted community known as Coconut Grove.
