There’s so much to do around Miami Carnival 2025 time from culture to parties to restaurants and sight-seeing; you can literally pick and choose if you want to fete after fete or have a more balanced carnival experience. The official Miami Carnival 2025 dates are October 4th – 13th, 2025.
Miami Carnival Cultural Events
We cannot forget the reason for the season. If you’re headed to Miami Carnival this year, there’s a plethora of cultural events that you can spectate or participate in. If you’re planning check out the full guide here.
Junior Carnival is the chance for the kiddies to dress up in costume and celebrate their Caribbean traditions, heritage via music, costume, dance and more.

Panorama is a celebration of steel pan music that originated in Trinidad & Tobago. Steel pan bands compete for a title at this riveting event. While Jouvert historically means break of day and takes place in the wee morning hours, Miami Carnival Org holds this event starting around 7am/8am until the afternoon. You can go to Jouvert as a spectator or play in a jouvert band. My Jouvert band of choice is Dutty Revel; and a jouvert package includes entry into the park, a t-shirt, cup, wristband, food and drinks. The reason most people go to Miami Carnival is the Official Parade and Concert that hosts over 20+ carnival bands who compete for band of the year. If you don’t want to participate in costume, you can purchase a spectator ticket.
