Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 24, 2026 —

The City of Miramar is set to host a free community event, dubbed “Emancipendence,” celebrating key dates in Jamaican history. The festivities are scheduled for Saturday, August 1st, and will run from 3 p.m. until 11 p.m.

The Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater will serve as the venue for this cultural celebration. Attendees can anticipate a variety of attractions, including offerings described as “island flavors,” alongside traditional games and numerous food vendors. The event is also slated to include stage performances throughout the day.

The “Emancipendence” celebration is designed to commemorate both Jamaica’s Emancipation Day, observed annually on August 1st, and its Independence Day, which falls on August 6th. This dual observance allows for a broader recognition of the nation’s heritage.

The evening’s program is highlighted by a headline concert performance by reggae artist Ky-Mani Marley. Further details regarding the specific lineup of performers and vendors were not immediately available.
