Free ‘MegaRumba’ music festival

Back for a fifth year and hosted again by SWARM is MegaRumba, a free celebration of all Latin cultures during a day-long celebration on July 20 from 2 p.m. to 3 a.m. RSVP for your ticket here and one free drink.

It will focus on South Florida’s rich and vibrant melting pot, with special attention to its deep musical influences. People can expect to see activities for all ages throughout the day with programming moving into a full-blown concert as the day progresses. Handpicked art/craft vendors and food trucks will be available until the very end, offering a little bit of everything that makes South Florida so unique and tasty.

Musical performers will include Lenier, Los Adolescentes, Sonora Carruseles, Periko & Jesse Leon, Diego Val, Manu Manzo, Domino Saints and El Arka.
