Taste of Haiti at the MOCA Plaza
4pm - 10pm

Since the earthquake that devastated Haiti in Jan 2010, the country has been fighting to rebuild itself from the ashes. The establishment of a new Government, a new leader at the head of our Ministry of Tourism along with the work of many of our Consulates and Ambassadors abroad, has brought nothing but excitement especially with the ongoing efforts to revive and uplift the image of our beloved Haiti.

The Haitian Culinary Alliance (HCA) founded by some talented Haitian Culinary Professionals, decided to do its part in the promotion of Haiti and its gastronomy. Gastronomy is an important ingredient in the promotion of tourism, and as Chefs, Culinary & Hospitality Professionals we view ourselves as ambassadors working at introducing the wonderful flavors that Haiti has to offer to the world.

When you talk about Haitian food in the United States, most people think Griot, Rice & Beans, and our most famous Soupe de Giromond. But there is more to our culinary background then just those items listed. Haiti has been influenced by a number of cultures such as French, Spanish, Lebanese, African, Indian and so forth. We are an island that offers an extraordinary variety in our cooking and we want to share our culture with the world.

Join us for the Main Event. 
A day full of activities for the family: kids corner, food, drinks, music and entertainment and much more.

Admission FREE 
MOCA Plaza: 770 NE 125th Street, Miami, FL 33161

While enjoying the activities, come join us in our VIP lounge area where you can relax, have unlimited tasting of alcoholic beverages, wine and beer. Also, get a voucher to eat at any booth of your liking.VIP lounge tickets $30

Jazz at MOCA with Spam All Stars
8pm

FREE EVENT, RAIN or SHINE

DJ Le Spam & Spam Allstars blend improvisational electronic elements and turntables with latin, funk, hip hop and dub to create what they call an electronic descarga. It’s not a known genre. It’s hard to describe. It attracts many types of people. But as they look out and see people dancing salsa, next to break-dancers, and festival-goers driving for hours to catch a show — they know something very special is going on.

Every Wednesday evening, MOCA offers opportunities for adults to enrich their understanding of contemporary art and interact with other arts-minded people. Programs vary from Contemporary Art Boot Camp, lectures on themes and techniques that dominate art today, to Arts for All hands-on art classes including figure drawing, and 5 Minutes of Fame, a forum where artists explain how and why they create their art. In September, MOCA will launch Time For Design, a new forum for designers from the fields of architecture, interiors, fashion and graphics to address topics of common interest.
