Miami nonprofit partners with youth organization at The Doral Yard for event featuring live music and a sugar skull-making workshop

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of life. Community Arts and Culture (CAC) is presenting an evening of live music from Dr. Calavera, Mariachi Veracruz Miami, and the Hialeah Senior Rock Ensemble, dance numbers by Kwa Senbo Danse Vodou, musical selections by DJ Le Spam, face painting, and a sugar skull-making workshop at The Doral Yard (8455 NW 53rd St Suite 106, Doral, FL 33166) on Saturday, November 2, 2024, beginning at 6 p.m.

“We’re pleased to once again be celebrating the Day of the Dead in Downtown Doral along with the CAC,” says event producer Renee Chavez. “I invite everyone to join us in honoring our ancestors with an evening of family-friendly, and culturally enriching fun.”

Dr. Calavera is a group dedicated to preserving the legacy of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, the beloved Argentine ska / Latin rock legends. Mariachi Veracruz Miami is a traditional Mexican folk band who bring joy and passion to every performance. The Hialeah Senior Rock ensemble is comprised of student musicians who interpret classic tunes from the 60s through the 00s, and are led by Director Gus Mayorga.

Andrew Yeomanson AKA DJ Le Spam is a musicologist, composer, and producer. He’s best known for founding and leading the Latin Grammy-nominated Spam Allstars and for his immense record collection. Kwa Senbo Danse Vodou is a local troupe of Haitian dancers.

The Doral Yard is a community gathering space offering culinary delights, live entertainment, and events in Downtown Doral. The 20,000-square-foot space is divided into two indoor/outdoor zones: The Hub and The Backyard. There are two full liquor bars and several dining and desert options available.

Event support provided by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, The Children’s Trust, and The Doral Yard. All ages welcome, no cover; a $10 suggested donation is encouraged for the facepainting and workshop.
