Poetry in Pajamas

A family-friendly evening of poetry invites young voices to take the stage in a playful, pajama-themed setting. Poetry in Pajamas takes place Friday, April 3 at Pinecrest Gardens.

Children are encouraged to wear their favorite pajamas and step up to the microphone to share a favorite poem, whether original or from a beloved author, with an audience of fellow pajama-clad participants. The evening features whimsical décor by Interknit, creating a dreamy atmosphere for young poets and families.

Additional activities include a by-kids-for-kids marketplace, hands-on creative stations and live music by Miami-based electronic pop duo Afrobeta. Free healthy snacks for children will be provided by Edible South Florida, with additional food and sweet treats available for purchase.

Presented by Pinecrest Gardens, the Village of Pinecrest and O, Miami, the event is part of the annual O, Miami Poetry Festival, a monthlong celebration each April that brings poetry into communities and public spaces throughout Miami-Dade County.
