"Carnaval Miami: Get Into the Worlds Biggest Block Party For ten days each spring (in early March), The Latino community of Miami celebrates culture, cuisine and entertainment with a vibrant array of beauty pageants, sports, concerts and international foods at Carnaval Miami. There are culinary competitions, galas and an upscale Latin jazz festival. The grand finale is Calle Ocho, a 23-block street festival in Little Havana, which is the largest block party in the world. Over a million watch live entertainment on 30 stages featuring salsa, merengue and Caribbean music. Carnival has been a cultural highlight in Miami for 35 years."

A MUST SEE IN MIAMI!!!! This has been a staple in my Cuban family for decades. I reccomend really taking your time by getting there early morning before lunch crowds start and planning the whole entire day out to check out each shop and tasting a little bit of every restaurant if you can. They have a place for seniors to play dominoes as well. Fresh coconuts, flowers, live music, cigar shops, it is a very authentic experience. Be mindful that the area can be very busy and slightly dangerous so keep a close eye on your children and loved ones, but I have never had an issue by just using common sense.

Great spot in the heart of Little Havana. Lots of character, colorful murals, and a lively atmosphere. Perfect place to walk around and explore local culture.

Very cute little Neighborhood to walk and explore. There are several little shops to check out souvenirs and lots of cigar shops. There are also restaurants that serve $5 mojito Mondays. We also checked out the I ice cream shop with the giant cone and scoops on the enter an extra that was very cool - their best seller flavour was abuela Maria.

Also for El Malecón de la Calle Ocho , 1005 SW 8th St, Miami. I am definitely returning. Great food and not as crowded or far as Olds Havana.

Honestly, this place is an overrated tourist trap. Prices for everything are OTT. Ridiculously loud music from all the restaurants and service was low end. Little Havana, BIG RIPOFF!

Awesome neighborhood to explore. You get that feeling of being in a whole different country. Lots of shops to buy souvenirs as well as great handmade cigars. Roosters and chickens are walking around freely so it's always fun to see them. You can't leave the neighborhood before trying one of the many authentic food restaurants in the area.
