The City of Miami Gardens was born in 2003, the then City Council sought to create a signature event for the largest predominantly African American municipality in Florida, which is also the third
largest in the United States. In 2006, the City of Miami Gardens presented the inaugural Jazz in the Gardens, an intimate jazz-only festival featuring food and music, setting the foundation for the decade-long, signature experience that followed, adding R&B to the lineup.For more information about Jazz in the Gardens, click here.
