Guayabera Day Designation Celebration
Jun 27, 2025
From: Noon to 8:00 PM
Visitors and locals alike are invited to celebrate the cultural legacy of the Guayabera shirt during a special gathering at The Havana Collection on Calle Ocho. As part of the festivities, the Guayabera Day Designation Celebration will take place on Friday, June 27 presented by Calle Ocho News.
The event recognizes the official redesignation of July 1, 2025, as Guayabera Day by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Eileen Higgins, honoring the shirt’s lasting importance as a symbol of Hispanic heritage, craftsmanship and style. A tribute will also be paid to George Feldenkreis, founder of Supreme International and a key figure in popularizing the Guayabera in North America, who passed away earlier this year. His legacy, along with the Cubavera brand established by the Feldenkreis family, continues to promote the garment’s cultural relevance worldwide.
From noon to 4 p.m., the celebration will feature complimentary lunch for seniors, live entertainment by singer Melina, raffles, prizes and arts and crafts activities reflecting Cuban traditions. The official designation ceremony with Commissioner Higgins is scheduled for 6 p.m. Seating and participation opportunities are limited, and early arrival is encouraged.
