Celebrate the vibrant culture, creativity, and contributions of Caribbean Americans during a weekend of art, music, and community at The LOOP, June 27 through 29.
Presented by DiscoverFTLBeach.com in recognition of Caribbean American Heritage Month, this three-day experience brings the sounds, flavors, and energy of the islands to Las Olas Oceanside Park on Fort Lauderdale Beach.
The weekend kicks off on Friday, June 27, with a Movies by Moonlight screening of Vivo, Sony Pictures’ animated love letter to Cuban music and culture.
Ahead of the film, guests will enjoy live Cuban music, kids’ music-themed crafts, and a taste of tradition with Cuban snacks under the stars.
Vivo is a vibrant animated adventure that celebrates the power of music, love, and cultural connection. The film follows Vivo, a music-loving kinkajou (a rainforest mammal affectionately known as a “honey bear”), who lives in Havana with his beloved owner and musical partner, Andrés. When fate intervenes, Vivo sets off on a journey from Cuba to Miami to deliver a love song that was never sung. Blending the rhythms of Caribbean culture with the colorful spirit of Miami, Vivo is both a joyful tribute to Latin musical traditions and a touching story about friendship, memory, and honoring those we’ve lost. It’s a heartwarming reminder that music can be a bridge between generations — and that it’s never too late to follow your own rhythm.
