On Saturday, June 18, 2022, join celebrity chefs Carla Hall and Cecil G. for the Beachside Cookout. They have created a literal village on Miami Beach where foods come to life while being paired with wine and music that move the soul. From vegan to delectable desserts, the beachside cookout gives attendees a plethora of choices to delight their palette. Chefs, restaurants, cooks, pit masters, bakers, will form a literal beachside village of low country, soul food, southern, Cajun, and even hints of Afro-Caribbean cuisine from all around the country to bring the proverbial cookout to life.
The village will also include amazing brands showcasing both artisanal and gourmet products, so bring your eco-friendly shopping bags and wear your comfortable pants. This year we will also have a children’s interactive kitchen and fun zone to keep your little ones engaged, for a fully engaged family experience.
Background
Annual Juneteenth celebrations have taken place since June 19, 1865, two years after President Lincoln freed enslaved Black Americans with his signing of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. To commemorate the momentous occasion, a festive four-day celebration of food and drinks ensued. Certain areas like Texas and New York prioritized the celebration and its significance with huge, well attended annual Juneteenth events.
In other areas, like South Florida, Juneteenth has been celebrated, however, with varying degrees of consistency and uniformity. We seek to embrace Miami-Dade County’s incredible tourist attractiveness while also embracing the food and beverage industry disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 with a festival highlighting the excellence of the Black food and drink ecosystem by presenting an Annual Juneteenth Food and Wine Festival (JFWF).
The synergy of many in the country reassessing their understanding of what it means to be Black in America, coupled with Americans emerging from pandemic-induced seclusion, positions the JFWF to attract people eager to celebrate culturally driven activations, while soaking up our city’s beautiful environment. For two special and impactful days in June, June 17 – 18, 2022, this festival will capture the historical legacy of Juneteenth while also creating a safe and inviting space for foodies to discover a magnificent African American tradition. Ultimately, their goal is to ignite a contagious appreciation for the Black food and drink ecosystem of Miami-Dade County in an unforgettable, culturally rich setting that will emerge as one of the most anticipated Juneteenth events in the country.
