I'm not reporting anything new when I say that South Florida is a melting pot. This weekend Miami Dade and Broward counties are celebrating the diverse cultures of the people that live here with several festivals and events that will appeal to foreign implants and homegrown locals alike.
Goombay Festival:
Coconut Groove's Grand Avenue will temporarily remind you of Grand Bahama Island as it transforms into the 34th annual GOOBAY FESTIVAL from Thursday June 3 - Sunday June 6. Listen to the pulsating sounds of caribbean music; take the kids to the children's corner for arts and craft and games; look at the parade of junkanoo costumed dancers; taste the food of the Bahamas; buy 'local' arts and crafts from a transplanted straw market.
Hukilau:
"The most intimate Tiki gathering in the world", the 9th annual Hukilau Festival. This summertime tiki festival features Polynesian music, tropical drinks, and musical performances. Located at the historic Mai-Kai restaurant in Fort Lauderdale from June 10-13.

Big Phat Fete "Flag Party":
What is a Big Phat Fete Flag Party? To some people these words may seem foreign, but to many South Floridians the monthly party is a time for caribbean transplants to enjoy a taste of soca, reggae and hip hop; it's a time to wine up, jump up and this month they urge everyone attending to 'wave your flag'.When: June 5, 2010
Where: 94th Aero Squadron
Tickets: Ladies FREE before 12:30am
