Miami-FL -- This year’s presentation of the Miami Broward Jr. Carnival was one of the most creative, colorful and energetic. This colorful and joyous family event has become a staple within the fabric of South Florida’s cultural lining. A sense of pride and excitement was the look on all of the kids’ faces. The tone of celebrating young people and their culture filled Central Broward Regional Park.  With 10 participating bands and over 2,500 attendees, the event contained as much of the enthusiasm and sense of celebration for the  Carnival culture as the upcoming Miami Broward Carnival Parade of Bands that will take place on Sunday, October 13th at Sun Life Stadium.

Participants in the Children's Carnival range from preschoolers to young teens.  Heritage TNT band won the bragging rights of 2013 Junior Band of the Year with their portrayal of Fantasea.
