It’s almost 305 Day! The 13th annual celebration of all that is wonderful about Miami and its iconic area code is making its anticipated return this weekend.
If you’re a true Miamian, then no explanation is needed for this holiday. For those not in the know, 305 Day is recognized on March 5 (aka 3/05) every year, paying homage to the city’s vibrant culture and roots. This year, however, the official block party is taking over Hialeah Park & Casino on Saturday, March 7, featuring everything from live music to art and a lineup of mouthwatering food and drinks.
Highlights include a Miami-inspired Zumba class, local food trucks, interactive brand activations and free cafecito by Café La Llave to keep your energy up. You’ll also find local vendors showcasing their best wares alongside a Domino Park experience, pickleball and NASCAR displays.
In true 305 fashion, this year brings a hilarious new addition: the first-ever Red Bull Chancleta Run! Leave behind your running shoes and race head-to-head in flip flops throughout an obstacle course until one chancleta champion is crowned.
This year’s musical lineup definitely doesn’t disappoint either, with Lenier, IAmChino, Mr. Mauricio and DJ Laz keeping the vibes going. You can also expect performances by the Hip Hop Kidz and a special meet-and-greet opportunity with Pitbull’s dancers, The Most Bad Ones, adding even more Magic City flavor to the day…
