Calle Ocho is an internationally renowned festival that takes to
the streets of Miami for a full day in March, the party represents the
end of the Miami Carnaval
which starts the preceding weekend and draws crowds estimated at over
a million people out to join the party. If you want to celebrate
Latin music, feast on international food and revel dance and
entertainment, this is the place for you!
This is a free
event, started way back in 1978, with the street festival attracting
visitors from across the country, with many even travelling internationally
to be part of the celebrations. The party includes plenty of food and
drink, street dancing and live entertainment across several stages.
The Calle Ocho festival in 2024 will be on 10th March from 11am - 7pm.
The street festival takes place in the Little Havana area of Miami,
with 15 street blocks between SW 12th Street and 27th Avenue closed to
traffic to accommodate the festivities. Visitors are encouraged to join
in with the street dancing, with one of the highlights being a giant
conga line.
The event starts at 11am and officially ends
by 7pm, although many will choose to continue their celebrations well
into the evening. Full details available
here.
Calle Ocho has always had pretty good coverage by the local TV

media sponsor so you might pick up some coverage there too.
Miami in March is pretty popular with visitors from around the country, drawn by the warmer weather so you're already looking at some fairly high hotesl prices, which makes getting your reservation made in advance even more important, as the whole city will be packed for the Miami Carnaval and Calle Ocho.
You can check availability and make reservations for local hotels here.
