Four days of Caribbean carnival culture transform Historic Virginia Key Beach Park into a celebration of soca music and island traditions. Miami Soca Weekend, presented by Dream Team Events, Red Antz Miami Jouvert and K-PAYA Carnival, returns March 27-30 with six events featuring an extensive lineup of international DJs and performers.
The festivities begin Thursday with the sold-out Tanlines Boatride launching from 1075 Biscayne Boulevard. The celebration continues at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park with Friday's all-white Soca City party, followed by Saturday's dawn-to-noon Paintopia Jouvert and evening Flag Frenzy gathering. The weekend concludes Sunday with the sunrise Bonjour fete and the costume-themed Endless Jam finale.
The international DJ roster includes Trinidad's Private Ryan and Lurbz, Bahamas' DJ Ovadose, Toronto's Brandan Duke and DJ Kevin, and New York's Kevin Crown, Back to Basics, Tony X, Riggo Suave, JR Cruiza and Backyard. Additional performers include Sinistar, DJ Jel, Milo Miles, Selecta JB, JSmoove, One Drop Sound, Dr. Esan and DJ Young Trini.
