Everywhere you look in Miami you can see, taste or hear the sights, sounds and flavors of Cuba. In fact, Miami has the largest Cuban population in the United States.
Cuba Nostalgia is a festive event with the beats and rhythms of Cuba’s music, including live music and dance. Visitors to Cuba Nostalgia can enjoy the sounds of Cuba’s Rumba and Afro-Cuban rhythms and dance their way through the event.

There will be the rich flavors of Cuba with traditional Cuban food. Cuban food is an blend of Caribbean, African and Spanish flavors with meat and meatless dishes.
Of course drinks – alcoholic and non-alcoholic – will be flowing. Two Cuban favorites are; Mojitos – delicious traditional Cuban drink made with rum, sugar, lime juice, seltzer and mint leaves, and Cuban coffee – a rich brewed coffee sweetened with sugar and milk.
There will also be Cuban art, books, memorabilia, jewelry, and much more.
