Miami Gardens Youth Music Festival

Student musicians take center stage in a community-focused festival that highlights youth creativity, collaboration and live performance.

The Miami Gardens Youth Music Festival takes place Saturday, February 28 at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex. Presented by Arts Access Miami, the annual event brings together student performers, educators, families and local leaders for an afternoon of live music, interactive experiences and food vendors, all designed to support and showcase emerging talent.

Now in its fifth year, the festival has grown into a significant platform for youth expression in Miami Gardens. The previous edition featured hundreds of student performers across multiple ensembles and welcomed a large community audience, reflecting the event’s ongoing role in connecting young artists with arts organizations and the broader public through music and shared cultural experiences.
