Welcome
Miami-Broward Junior Carnival is about the Next Generation!
Junior Carnival, or as it is better-known in the islands, “Kiddies Carnival” is where we introduce the next generation into the culture of mas and Carnival. It is an initiation that most never forget, and many go on to become the Future Leaders of this cultural festival.
We aim to empower children to discover their highest potential through artistry, dance and community in a collaborative environment that helps build confidence and teamwork, competition and comradery. Children learn the importance of cooperation, while having fun. They learn how to become one voice and, through their shared experience, grow stronger as individuals and as a community.
In 2023 we were so excited to have the kids back on the road and they did not disappoint with Band Competition, Junior Steel Competition, Junior Soca Competition along with Junior King and Queen Competition.
