Miami Beach Youth Music Festival

Three stages of nonstop performances spotlight the next generation of Miami musicians at the Miami Beach Bandshell in Miami Beach.

The 10th Annual Miami Beach Youth Music Festival takes place Saturday, March 7, transforming Bandshell Park into a family-friendly celebration of local talent. Produced by the Rhythm Foundation in partnership with the City of Miami Beach, the free festival features a juried lineup of 35 young artists and school-based ensembles spanning rock, jazz, hip-hop, singer-songwriter, marching band and more.

Headlining the event is the legendary Miami Beach Rock Ensemble, joined by a wide-ranging roster that includes the MB Hi Tides Jazz Ensemble and Marching Band, Young Mens Prep Academy Jazz Band, Fienberg-Fisher Rock Ensemble, Nautilus Rock Ensemble and standout young performers such as Bea Marie Corral, Honesty Rhi’Naye, Jade Imani, Nina Marie and 4Tune, among many others. From pint-sized vocalists to powerhouse student bands, the afternoon showcases the depth of musical creativity across Miami Beach schools and the broader community.

Beyond the stages, Bandshell Park will host interactive activities for families, including the Bass Museum Art Tent, Kids Yoga, an Imagination Playground, a Book Nook, food vendors and more.

Admission is free. Donations will be collected on site, with 100 percent of proceeds shared among music programs at participating Miami Beach schools. The festival is made possible with support from The Raphael Family Foundation, Breezeline, Urban Resource and Chaser Water.
