This year is no exception with the return of South Africa\u2019s producer and DJ, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/event\/black-coffee-40531768\/\" id=\"40531768\">Black Coffee<\/a>. But his duties are not touching the club \u2014 indeed, not even North Miami or South Beach. The Grammy-award-winning artist\u2019s deep, soulful selections will be heard at the historic <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/news\/flamingo-chicks-stolen-from-hialeah-park-race-track-7731968\/\" id=\"40441153\">Hialeah Park Race Track<\/a> on Saturday, March 28, in collaboration with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/Club Space\">Club Space<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hialeah Race Track is a historic landmark in Miami,\u201d says Leo Piscioner, Club Space\u2019s Chief Marketing Officer. \u201cThe Park has a hundred-year history and just celebrated its centennial, which is incredible.\u201d The Hialeah Park Casino, which includes the Race Track, is not your typical Vegas casino or a rundown racetrack that has run its course.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Between its south-of-France architecture, lush landscaping, and circular walking ring, which, as its<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/hialeahparkcasino.com\/about\/history\"> website describes<\/a>, was inspired by the Parisian racetrack Longchamp, is a South Florida marvel. According to the website\u2019s history section, a Missouri cattleman named James Bright and an aviator, Glenn Curtis, donated land for community use \u201cwhile helping to acquire funds for construction of public buildings, facilities, and, yes \u2013 a horse racetrack\u201d during the beginning of the Roaring Twenties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Century-Old Venue Steps Into Dance Music<\/p>\n<p>On January 15, 1925, Hialeah Park Race Track opened for thoroughbred horse racing, a practice that continued until 2001. The finest milieu, from the Vanderbilt and Du Pont families, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill, traveled to South Florida to watch the races. On March 5, 1979, the National Register of Historic Places added Hialeah Park to its registry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that the racetrack has had concerts in the past, but maybe two or three in total. This is certainly the first dance-focused experience,\u201d says Piscioner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The show runs from 6 p.m. until 1 a.m., which could be an ideal nightcap for someone who wants to go out but not commit to all-night festivities or a great escape from North Miami. Piscioner, however, is quick to note that this could be a mere prelude to head out to Factory Town, also in Hialeah, for all-night DJ sets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>VIP attendees will enjoy an open bar for the first hour of the show. There are also \u201cexciting and beloved Miami-based restaurant\u201d options for VIP attendees that will likely be announced soon. \u201cI would go as far as to say that if you\u2019re a foodie and you love music, this is the event to be at.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What the Experience Will Feel Like on the Racetrack<\/p>\n<p>The crowd, VIP or otherwise, can also expect a one-of-a-kind stage setup and production. The crew will construct the stage on the racetrack, featuring a bespoke design developed by the Black Coffee and Club Space teams, a first of its kind. Also on the bill are Carlita and Kaz James. \u201cIt\u2019s an experience that will fuse together the old and the new,\u201d posits Piscioner. \u201cWhen you get to the venue, you will walk past the entrance to the casino, and specifically the entrance to the racetrack, which has these beautiful, huge arches and pink flowers that are crawling up the vines of the facade. So you walk through that, and then you\u2019re in the grandstands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance will be the casino\u2019s legendary flamingos, who were<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T41dVcUS888&amp;t=146s\"> imported from Cuba<\/a> in 1934 to live in the grand lake (the flamingos will be kept away from the music and otherwise undisturbed). \u201cYou can either have a seat in the grandstands, there\u2019s an elevated view of this really open, beautiful, scenic racetrack, with a lake and flamingos behind. You can make your way to the dancefloor, which is just below.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show, with its allure and beauty, offers yet another reminder that music lovers can experience great sound in a setting that feels less frantic. Attendees will dance to the sounds of Black Coffee against a green backdrop \u2014 no packed clubs or sleepless nights, just your feet planted somewhere with a sense of history.<\/p>\n<p>Black Coffee.
