The 24th annual Miami Carnival was recently held on Sunday, October 12th at Bicentennial Park downtown Miami. The eclectic processional celebration began at 12 noon on 20th street and NE 2nd Ave and proceeded east to Bayshore Drive and clocked into their final destination at Bicentennial Park.
With roots begun in 1984, from the humble environs festival, expansion and evolvement took force and grew to become an international event drawing live blithesome and enterprising bands and calypsonians from the islands. The ever-present Caribbean Mardi Gras is the most successful in South Florida and is the leading and most favored Carnival in North America, with participants planning milestones in advance; as early as November of each year for the following October jubilation. Carnival invites to experience imagination, color and a fantasia-like extravaganza through a mosaic of incredibly detailed costumes, steel bands, soca, calypso, compas and reggae music.
Among this year’s promoting participants, a fresh addition to the yearly celebration, we introduce Vibrationzz, sponsored by I&I Clothing. Vibrationzz, also known as VBZ, may easily be noted as an energetic and vigorous movement that commands you to your feet and catapults the soul to an effervescent realm of expression and joy. They are intent on designing the ultimate getaway, having you, “forget about everything and just feel the movement of the rhythmic beats and voices of our beloved Caribbean stars.”
Having only been in their second year on the road for Miami Carnival, VBZ came in a most acceding and recognizable 6th place for ‘Band on the Road’ and a flattering 1st place for ‘Best Music’ on the road. It may be surely affirmed that I&I Clothing discerns vision, drive, and passion where Vibrationzz is concerned. VBZ actualized in the hearts of two, “that live, love, and believe in innovation.” It is the desire and mission of this influentially lively group of individuals to do none other than, “infuse the world with our culture,” and to that, they have succeeded and shall continue to do so without a doubt.
VBZ has a long accredited list of talents, and whether it be Carnivals, social events, talent and/or fashion shows, fundraisers, family fun days, concerts or parties, confidence is written on their resume with seasoned stunner performances.
