MIAMI \u2013 Families across South Florida are invited to experience culture, creativity, and community at COOLTURE: Cultural Kids Festival. This free, family-friendly event will take place on Saturday, February 7, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Inter Grove Gallery (2771 SW 27th Ave, Miami FL 33133 ) at The Underline.<\/p>\n

Produced by Caribbean American Heritage Florida Inc. (CAHFI), COOLTURE is an interactive cultural festival designed to introduce children and families to global traditions through music, dance, art, storytelling, and hands-on activities. Moreover, the event transforms The Underline into a vibrant space where kids can explore creativity, movement, and cultural expression in a fun and welcoming environment.<\/p>\n

COOLTURE: Cultural Kids Festival Core Activations<\/p>\n

Art and craft activities are designed to spark creativity and imagination. These include African mask painting sessions and a fun Haitian culture Trivia game \u2013 Haiti.<\/p>\n

Interactive storytelling and musical moments celebrate global cultures. Featured Caribbean Authors include AP Sealy (The Adventures of Carni & Val) and Simone Russell (Jamaica in Every Letter).<\/p>\n

Music and movement experiences invite kids and families to move together. Featured performances include top performer PetaGay Letren, Nara Bollywood Dance Company and Lauderhill Steel Ensemble.<\/p>\n

In addition to the cultural activities, attendees can enjoy food offerings and live music. This creates a full sensory experience for all ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOOLTURE was created to give children the opportunity to learn about culture in a way that feels joyful, engaging, and accessible,\u201d said Asa P. Sealy, Executive Director of Caribbean American Heritage Florida Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBy partnering with The Underline, we\u2019re able to activate a public space in a meaningful way, bringing families together, encouraging creativity, and reinforcing the idea that culture is something to be experienced, shared, and celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event supports CAHFI\u2019s mission. It uses culture to educate, uplift, and strengthen communities. It also offers inclusive programs for youth and families.<\/p>\n

The Underline, a 10-mile linear park transforming the space beneath Miami\u2019s Metrorail into a world-class public destination, sees COOLTURE as a natural fit for its community-centered programming.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOOLTURE embodies what The Underline is all about, creating welcoming, engaging spaces where community, creativity, and culture intersect,\u201d said Lisa Barber-Hannaway, Events & Programming Manager at The Underline. \u201cThis event offers families a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate together in a dynamic public space.\u201d<\/p>\n
