Carnaval on the Mile

This past weekend I was invited to a VIP Bloggers Lounge
Sponsored by Kiwanis Of Little Havana Foundation. The pass included:
  • Backstage passes to Carnaval on the Mile and Calle Ocho stages 
  • Networking opportunities with sponsors  
  • Interview/photo opportunities with performers  
  • VIP Lounge with WIFI hotspot access 
  • VIP gift bags and other special prizes 
  • Refreshments
  • Special parking passes
  • Transportation to stages 





Unfortunately I arrived late and couldn't meet with fellow
 bloggers or sponsors so 
I used my spare time walking the noisy street full
of vibrant music
tents full of arts and crafts
and delicious carnaval food.


Carnavals remind me a lot of Puerto Rico.
Pinchos (meat on stick or commonly called Kabobs) are very famous there 
and the smell of the BBQ smoky flavor fill the streets.



I had to go solo but found myself enjoying the time alone.
I hardly remember the last time I was, yet the sweet and calm feeling of it
is something I deeply yearn every once in a while.


I hope I can make it a little early for the next Carnaval at calle Ocho 
this upcoming Sunday, March 9th.
I am sure it will be just as good as this one was!
If you live in Miami please contact me so we can meet!!
