When music facilitates the act of helping our fellow man it becomes more than entertainment.
The 18th Annual 9Mile Music Festival, formerly known as the Caribbean Festival, on March 12th at Bayfront Park, will feature amazing artists like Damian Marley, Thievery Corporation and Slightly Stoopid. But, more importantly, it will provide an opportunity for guests to feed hungry mouths.
In order to take part of the festivities, not only will guests have to pay the admission, but four canned goods are required to get inside. The food drive will benefit, Curley’s House, an organization that provides bulk food items to residents with low-to-moderate incomes. They also help the elderly, at-risk youth, and abused or HIV/AIDS infected individuals.
Every year the 9Mile Music Festival is one of South Florida’s most popular events. People mark it on their calendar, as it’s one of the best ways to sample the best of the Caribbean right in our backyard.
Whether it’s the delicious food, the friendly atmosphere, or the contagious rhythms, it’s definitely an event you don’t want to miss. So, get your canned goods and your Rasta hat and get ready to jam, Caribbean style.
