Also canceled this year, Carnival on the Mile.
Organizers issuing a statement reading in part, “It is disappointing that this will be the second year in a row without a Calle Ocho Music Festival, but public health is the priority. We look forward to dancing in the street together again in 2022.”
Carnaval on the Mile is now scheduled to take place from March 5-6, 2022. Calle Ocho is now planned for March 13, 2022.
