Celebrate Reggae Month in Miramar with music festival, dancehall DJs and more
February is a month full of celebration, with a Reggae Month takeover happening in Miramar alongside Black History Month events.
Celebrate your favorite reggae artists and discover new ones at a free music festival, awards show or party with Jamaican DJs.
Reggae Month was first celebrated in 2008 by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association.
Join the City of Miramar for these Reggae Month events in February:
Selecta Showdown — Feb. 27
Inside of Reggae Month is Dancehall Week, and every year Miramar highlights the “selecta” or the dancehall DJs at Shirley Branca Park. From 7 to 11 p.m., three women DJs will compete for the title of best DJ and a $1,000 prize. Competing this year are DJ Lady Terra, DJ Rere and DJ Shawty Redz, with Supa Twitch as the MC. Miramar will also honor Jamaican artist Wayne Wonder with the Dancehall Icon Award. Register at MiramarSelectaShowdown26.eventbrite.com.
