Key Biscayne seniors can close out the summer with barbecue, music and dancing during a celebration of the community\u2019s young-at-heart residents.<\/p>\n
The Village of Key Biscayne will host its 15th annual End of Summer Bar-B-Q Lunch and ASK Club Performance at noon, Thursday, Aug. 27, in the Island Room at the Community Center.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s theme, \u201cLatin Flavor,\u201d will bring a taste of Latin culture to the event.<\/p>\n
Roxy Lohuis-Tejeda, Key Biscayne adults and senior services coordinator, said participants will hear old time Cuban music and new Latin music including Bad Bunny and other Latin artists.<\/p>\n
Lohis-Tejeda said the entertainment will also feature a 15-minute show by Enhanced Performance Troop, a group of dancers choreographed by Community Center dance instructor Marilyn Myles.<\/p>\n
Lohuis-Tejeda said the event has become successful over the years with roughly 100 people turning out annually.<\/p>\n
She said the village is expecting a bigger turnout this year including a large population of snowbirds.<\/p>\n
“I grew up in the North and we close out the summer season around Labor Day,\u201d Lohuis-Tejeda said. \u201cYou would like your final BBQ before the cold season arrives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barbecue is an American tradition that brings people together for gatherings and celebrations such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.<\/p>\n
Key Biscayne officials want to show their appreciation with a BBQ event for seniors, many of whom have made key contributions to the village over the years.<\/p>\n
