Miami’s biggest Caribbean food festival is back again this year when Caribbean305 returns for its third edition.

This year, the culinary and cultural celebration will take place at Mana Wynwood in the heart of Miami’s hippest neighborhood, with flavors from more than a dozen Caribbean destinations.

Caribbean305 will feature chefs and mixologists from across the region, including The Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Grenada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Turks and Caicos.

The food fete will be accompanied by live music from the region, from reggae to zouk to salsa, carnival dancers in full regalia and Caribbean tourism representatives on hand to give their top travel tips.

“We look forward to our third edition of Caribbean305, which serves as a wonderful event to celebrate the region’s culture with some of the finest culinary talent available anywhere,” said Frank Comito, Director General and CEO of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association, which produces the annual event.

“This is the perfect event for foodies, Caribbean travelers as well as the Caribbean Diaspora,” Comito said.

This year’s Caribbean305 will take place on June 22.
