Fresco Fest

Traditional Haitian frozen drinks take center stage at an afternoon celebration of food, music and culture in Little Haiti. Fresco Fest highlights the flavors and rhythms of Haiti with a community-focused gathering built around one of the island’s most beloved refreshments.

The festival takes place Saturday, May 16 at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex.

Guests can sample a variety of Haitian frescos, fruit-based frozen beverages known for their bold, tropical flavors, alongside authentic Haitian dishes from local food vendors. The soundtrack features kompa, zouk and Caribbean hits, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the day. A marketplace of local vendors adds to the experience with crafts and community offerings.
